Christine, these posts that you are responding to are several years old and I doubt if they are checking back for replies. You could click on their name to send a message (if they are still members).
If you're trying to find more info on your family then it might be a good idea to start your own thread asking for advice.

Looking to connect with COLIN PILGRIM who lives in CHAPPEL. I've been in touch with your cousin, COLIN, and he and I have discovered we are related. He tells me you might have further knowledge of the PILGRIM clan from the North Essex/South Suffolk areas of England. Regards, Cathie
