    Wentoun? Newtown?

    Is there a Newtown in Cumberland? [Edit - There is - close to the coast, between Workington and Silloth. Does that fit with other info?]

    Searching for BANKS, MILLER, MOULTON from Lancs and Cheshire; COX from Staffordshire and Birmingham;
    COX, HALL, LAMBDEN, WYNN, from Hants and Berks; SYMES (my mystery g'father!) from anywhere near Bournemouth.
