Sorry Petra - I was/am lurking: very busy with researches here in SW France, and no time to go sleuthing.

Same here. I have been entertaining my DRAKE cousin from Cumbria, who is travelling around OZ for 6 weeks. They are off to Tasmania today. It was a very interesting sleuth Petra but being in OZ I have very little info to have joined in with it. You do a wonderful job in researching. Best Wishes, Leonie.
