I thought so........Robin Hood was nowhere near Cumbria, lol. Now I will
have to check my handy map of England behind me.....still have all of your
names on yellow stickies on it.

Shane........you are a ditz!! It is well southeast of the *armpit of
england*........Stockport!! Not sure if it or Manchester were the worst.
The rest of England was excellent, except for those two weirdos that we
stayed with in Dorset........we still shake our heads over that one.

Hey Mikey.......when we win the lottery, we will come over and take YOU out
for dinner. Think Lizzie will have us over for tea?? Not likely, lol.

Shane's pulling your leg! Nottingham's just a bit further than 10 miles
south of the Lake District. :-)

Ahhhh.....so she would then recognize my maiden name. Too bad I was
the only live *Bowness* in the area in 2004, grin. Shocked the heck
out of the Bowness-on-Windermere restaurant manager when I said "if I
can prove I am a Bowness, can I have a free dinner??" I did, he
didn't.......must have been a Scot. (G)

My ancestors..........and their not inconsiderable
wealth......disappeared in the early to mid 1850's. Bloody cheek!!
