Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 11 Send Message	Hi again I think I've searched pretty much everywhere - much of it based on the advice given her and by PM - but I appear to be stuck at John Zealand, b1773 who married Mary Loncaster (various spellings, b 1759) in 1783. I'm hoping John's birthdate is way out, of course! I can't find any links between the apparent centres for the Zealand name -south Lincs, Yorks coast and Teesside - even though they must be there, somewhere. Let alone getting back to the original immigrant(s). Any more ideas, anybody. Please? Thanks Paul

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 11 Send Message	Hi Henry Thanks for that clarification. I am recently back from a few days in Lincolnshire. Part of it involved research; all of which produced nothing apart from a few contacts in the area who may have some knowledge of local history. Still no evidence of a Dutch link. Paul
