<title>Mary Walker MUNDAY 1840 - 1872 (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many thanks from this &quot;Ancestry Virgin&quot;!!  We&#039;re starting off on the long voyage of trying to trace my wife&#039;s family.  We had a very pleasant visit to the area a couple of weeks ago and although enjoying our short break, we decided that t&#039;internet might be a better way to start.<br />
Thanks again.</p>
<p>Chris &amp; Joan Lyon<br />
PS.  By coincidence, we found out today that one of her ancestors lived/worked in the village where we stayed - Aylburton</p>
