	On Ancestry the last name is transcribed Welles. Perhaps it's the same on FMP.

District, Folio No. Page No. from Ancestry - no luck Have tried looking up 2 of the other names on the same original sheet - no luck and also names from previous and following pages - no luck Perhaps there's missing pages from FMP's records??

	It is not listed as a missing piece, but I guess it must be.

	Of course, I understand. I suppose I could report it.
