Hi!

I wonder whether you can clarify (and =if necessary=20correct) your references to "Headbury,=20Dorset". I can find no such =placeon any=20map or within gazeteers which name such a place whether in Dorset ore =elsewhere=20in the UK !

I lived for 12 years near Headborough, =the home of=20the Warren family which you report - IT IS IN DEVON =on the=20moor between Ashburton and Buckfastleigh.

It is most irritating to see so many =false=20attributions to Dorset, which wastes a great deal of time for those =pursuing=20their Warren ancestors in Dorset ! It gives the =impression=20that those making the attribution have simply copied the erroneous =research of=20someone else !

I can prove my Warren roots in Dorset =back to 1658=20both by documentation and y-DNA but confusion reigns further back in=20history.

If you can authoritatively demonstrate =the location=20of HEADBURY I shall apologise profusely but, for the moment I believe =that your=20citation is wrong and should be corrected.

Yours etc. A. Roger Warren=20b.Bristol,UK 1932
