NO, NOT YET COLIN,i am skipping from one to another, i felt that the name cawley was irish,but i must be wrong as the family seem to all be london based,unless it was many years ago thatthey came over, thats why i was trying to go back as far as i can, i am stuck now and dont know where to turn,--although the name originated in the hebredies ibelieve oo whats the next step , thank you for your support regards linda
