I am saddened by the news of Hugh's death. We had met several times - at the Bunfights and at Family History Fairs as well as online. He was ever helpful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the historical context in which our ancestors operated. His suggestions, often cryptically expressed, but always relevant were so generously given. I will miss him.
