NO chance of my falling on hard times - did you ever know a Yorkshireman to
fall on hard times? Well, not recently, anyway!

I saw Angela Petyt's message about them, but haven't yet had time to have a
look. However, I know the Bolton Abbey Demain(e)s were the ones my family
married into, since Angela and I have often discussed it, and it would appear
we are very distantly related (well, sort of) by marriage through our mutual
Demain(e) connection.

My gt-uncle HANSON DEMAINE, who was a prominent solicitor in Pudsey and Town
Clerk of Pudsey, was certainly descended from the Demains of Bolton Abbey -
well, actually at Hazlewood and Storiths close by.
