Thanks Liz, The 'post-it' idea is a good one which I shall adopt (oops that's another word we don't like) Now the younger Elizabeth I know a little bit about! She was the daughter of Jabez Oxley of Barnsley & Elizabeth Young of Masbrough. Interestingly their eldest daughter Jane married John Asquith - an Organist and teacher of Music. Going back to John Arthur Rodgers (6 in 1871) - what did he become? An Organist and teacher of Music. Also in the early 1900's he was assistant director of the Sheffield Music Society.
