Thank you very much for posting this very interesting petition & list of
names, Thomas.

At the end you say that "The above names were rearranged in alphabetical
order by me and surnames spelled properly where possible."

No problems with your alphabetical order but I see that you have renamed the
2 Kates as Keats. My East Lulworth ancestors used the spelling Cates - and
occasionally Kates - from 1698 to 1742. I have yet to discover any of that
family spelled Keats.

I should be very interested in any link your Newfoundland Kates may have
with East Lulworth.
