SIR,

I am interested in making contact with descendants of Thomas Wilkes, veterinary surgeon, and his wife Ann Pritchard, who lived in the 19th century.

One daughter of theirs, Ann, married Arthur Every and they had a large family and lived in Monmouth.

I believe that several of their sons and a daughter went to live in England.

My great-grandmother was Ellen Wilkes, who married Charles Stephens and emigrated to New Zealand.
