Thanks for this--- my 2x great grand uncle is William Thomas Petty listed as a Thatcher on this list. :)

Two of my ancestors, Robert & William Acutt, are listed. Love your blog - you're making the past come alive for me & filling in some gaps in my version of our family history. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for your positive feedback. Have you seen the ACUTT entries in Shelagh Spencer's volumes 'British Settlers in Natal'? A must read for anyone with Natal settler ancestry! If you can't acquire the volumes yourself Killie Campbell Library have the entire run of volumes published so far (up to G surnames). There are numerous other sources of information on the Acutt family.
