Sonny.Nice to hear from you.Ithink it may be difficult to get hold of the book you mention on this side----but obviously there seems to be no shortage of info.Researching him is a big job--which is why I suggested we could share it by taking a look at all the stuff on the internet which Yahoo or the main 'search engines' reveal.Say hello to brother Robert in Jacksonville.

Robert M.Many thanks for the link to Eardley Hall.I know you have a tremendous amount of researched data on 'the family'.Seems to me that Lord Audley and the 'Yeardleys' moved from Staffordshire at about the same time.Sir George married Temperance West(a good Puritain Girl I would imagine!)and since this was a time of religious upheaval, I suspect this could have been a reason for many of the moves which occured about this time.Robert--are you able to tell us whether there are likely to be descendants of Sir George's siblings still in UK?I'm sure that many US organisations e.g.Sons and Daughters of the Revolution would be very excited to link up with us on this research---but it needs several of us to share the effort.Yesterday I e-mailed the former editor of the East Liverpool Review in Ohio.He has a high interest in these matters and he promised to get on to it right away.Also many thanks to Linda Hollis for her e-mail of support.She has visited Williamsburg and seen the Yeardley grave etc.Also to Philip Eardley I would like to thank him most sincerely for bringing the whole thing to my attention.Philip and his wife stumbled on the site quite by accident when touring Virginia last year.
