There is a settlement - St Helena - in Norfolk. A more well known St Helens
in Merseyside/Lancashire as well as a less well-known St Helens in the Isle
of Wight.

Adrian C Whittaker, in Gravesend, Kent, searching for:-
FRAIL, in 17th/18th C Herts/Bucks/Middx, but also anytime, anywhere, and
WHITTAKER in 18th/19th C Essex and 19th/20th C London

I use Archive CD Books to help with my research
