Thanks Stu :g50:

I can't see any farmers in the area with the surname beginning with M.

I spotted a seal on the PAS website https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts ... /id/803119

Where Paul Cannon believes it could be from an unidentified Baltic port.

Well spotted Phil but very unlikely to be connected with Russian flax.
