Your husband's probably like me, Marged - when Wales win the Rugby Championship he's Welsh but when England win the World cup or the Ashes he's English! Have you ever been able to trace his paternal grandfather's birth in Herefordshire, by the way? I still pop back down there every now & again to visit my eldest daughter + 3 grandchildren, so if you could ever do with a look-up in the Hereford RO just give me the nod.
