Which 'surname' have our researchers found to be the
most difficult to check? Smith, Jones must be a nightmare,
but my maternal grandmother was a 'NICKLESS', have found
her father recorded on two marriages as 'NICHOLAS' and
'NICHLISS' and earlier census as NICHOLLS & NICKELLS.....
Not found a 'Knickerless' yet.

Done the Smith and Jones, Jones wasn't too bad - mostly from Tipton
Done the Williams and Hughes in Wales - nightmare

Cutler and Homer around Halesowen/Smethwick/West Brom/Oldbury.
Still smacking my head against the wall with those two lines.
Hadley is almost as bad.
