	D Pianto Victoria, Australia		site rating: posted: Thursday, 2005 Aug 25th, 1.06 pm Daniel Pianto 46 Milroy Street Bendigo Vic 3550 Australia danielpianto@yahoo.com My ancestors originally came from a place called Couch\'s Mill in Cornwall and I do believe it is this town of which their name was given. Samuel Couch who married Joan Libby died in Polperro - Cornwall in the late 1700\'s. Information on this family and the other Couchs of distinction are located on the Polperro Family History Society\'s Website. If you can help me in how Couch\'s Mill got its name and if it was my Couch family whom the town bears it name, or any other information I would love to hear from you. Best Wishes - Daniel

	R Chinnock Montgomery, United States		site rating: posted: Friday, 2005 May 13th, 12.12 am We visit East, West and Middle Chinnock a few years ago. My eldest brother learned of the villages during WWII as he was evacuated to hospital somewhere in England. The medic told him they were passing through \"his town.\" He never made it back though. We visited with the Vicar there and he told us his son [a librarian in Yoevil] was researching the history of the area and would be publishing a book. Does anyone know anything about this? Wondering why the three villages were named Chinnock. Any information would be appreciate. So glad to see a site like this!

	R Roberts Franklin, USA		site rating: posted: Thursday, 2005 May 5th, 5.48 pm I have to challange the very first entry stating the Vikings attacked the monastery at Whitby in 687. That\'s a bit before the Vikings were active in Great Britian and the construction date is listed as 657. Perhaps dates were switched during the typing? Have found most of the dates assembled here match other sources in regards to stated dates but a note to those gathering info for school reports - No entry shown here should be considered as \"fact\" without varification from onther sources. Glad to see some of the smaller raids/attacks listed that others do not bother with.
