Another amazing spelling for Awdry!! I think there were at least 40 included in the AFA Bulletine, when it was published, and I don't think it included this one. It reminds me of the note that somone published years ago. He said he was looking in records in the South somewhere and knew there was an ancestor there but could not find him. Then, he realized there were some Aldree families listed! To date, that is the most unusual spelling I have seen. Thanks for the information. It is always interesting. Robert Autry Brooks
