This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Unfortunately, since starting the database and uploading all of the information that I had, I have had very little by way of time and resources to do any further research. My home is in West Yorkshire but most of my time is spent in Cambridge, so I do not have the opportunity to work 'locally'. I wish you well with your work.
