I have been interested in genealogy for about 25 years, but only began serious research 5 years ago. My main family names are:

HARRIS Portsmouth and Wiltshire

RANDALL Surrey and Warwickshire

BOXALL Surrey and Sussex

BLUNDEN Suffolk NOAKES Moreton, Essex JAMES Churchill, Oxfordshire GALE Esher, Surrey SMITH East Clandon, Surrey SHEPPARD Bath, Somerset SARGENT Looe, Cornwall DUTTON Boston, Lincolnshire LAST Suffolk GODBOLD Suffolk NUNN Suffolk and London PARR Suffolk and London 'POACHER Suffolk

My most enduring brick wall involves Caroline Bold textMANDLEBold text, (Mandell/Mantle/Mantell), possibly from Hampshire, or possibly the Channel Islands, c 1800-1840

Then there is the Irish side, of which I know only that my Irish grandparents were called Thomas Bold textMCDERMOTTBold text and 'Mary Ann Bold textO'HARABold text, who lived (and may have been born) in Carrick on Shannon, Leitrim.

Another big area of interest is the Bold textSCOTTBold text family, who were Lords of Manor of Camberwell c 1400-1600, and who may, or may not have been related or associated with the Scott dynasty at Brabourne, Kent. The Camberwell family had either died out or fragmented completely by late 1600's, but with one line (I think!) migrating down to Horne in Surrey to become "gentlemen farmers" until the early 1900's.
