Dear Linda

Thank you so very much for taking the time and trouble to help us with our
enquiry. You are wonderful.
The John Cash who married Elizabeth Dunks we think could be ours, we will
certainly follow up the sites that you have so kindly recommended.
We really didn't know where to start, so your help has been invaluable.
What a shame the records are destroyed, it must make family history research
very difficult, as these records have certainly helped in our research in
the UK.
At least you have ruled out the areas where John can't be found, which is a
big help.

Thank you once again, we really do appreciate your efforts on our behalf,
you are marvellous.

Kindest regard
Marilyn and Dave
