FLAME! FLAME! FLAME! :)

Seriously, though, this is a no win situation for you. You post in the
group and risk flames for commercialism. On the other hand, WAR, when
faced with a similar decision, posted a pointer in s.g.med to a
s.g.marketplace post, and got flamed in the group for not presenting the
information. You just have to put on your asbestos undershorts (boxers
or briefs?) and take your chances.

That being said . . .

I went back to my notes on the Cooke/Mahieu marriage (which I mentioned
in my note of the other day - did you ever get that? My server was
again acting up.). Even though her family can be well identified as
being from the area of Armentiers, Lille, France, (bringing to mind a
scene from the Three Musketeers), the marriage of Esther Mahieu to
Francois Cooke reports her as being from Canterbury (and him from
England, of which I also have my doubts). Thus it is unclear that the
marriage record's statement that Abigail Baillou was from England need
preclude her being daughter of a Dutch/Walloon father.
