Dear Valerie, Am I right to assume you have had no further contact from the niece of Alice Topping (photo of Bert & Alice France & twins Kathleen & Philip, in "Looking Back" Bolton Evening News)? You may remember she was contacting another relative & would get back to you. Do you think it is possible to try to contact her again through the newspaper & if so, how to go about it? Or any other way? Frank Elson emailed to say he had put a corrected email address for me in the column but,sad to say, have heard nothing from anyone further. Zipporah has vanished without trace. Perhaps she died after all but I have not found the record of her death. Many thanks again for all you help. Mary
