I see that my Thank You was posted 4 or 5 times on the list. I
am sorry for the problem, but you can blame AOL. It seems that each time that
I attempted to sent the mail I received a system error message indicating that
there where too many requests waiting and to try again. Well I tried again
and again. All the time the mail was going out.

Any way, I thought that there might be an interest in some of the names that I
have found in the family information that I received. The writing is often
poor so bear with me and I will do my best to translate.

The following are for baptismals. I will list the Reverends names first the
the names of the sponsors.

1880 at Chundicully, Jaffna, Ceylon, Rev. C.A. Koch
Sponsors: Lt. Col. C.J. Stewart, Mr. E.S. Barber, Mr. H.G. Waterfield

1882 at Talawakellie Railway Bungalow, Ceyelon
Rev. F.W.C. Rigsby.
Sponsors: Major H.G. Waterfield, Mr. Edward Gay, Miss Helen A. Waterfield

1884 at Thaiping Perak Straits Settlement, Ceylon
Rev. Markham
Sponsors: F.E. Otter Esq., Wm E. Legg, Miss Mary Clayton

1887 at Galle, Ceylon
Rev. J Bamforth of All Saints
Sponsors: W. Rob. Webster, and Edmond Scott Barber

I hope that some one can recognize one of their ancestors in this message.
Kind regards,
Susan
