Hi Fred Glad to see you made it to the list, so welcome! I've sent you a couple more mails with some leads, though they may be distant. I'm sure there are some members on here who will be able to help with your enquiries. I take it you did find the Kells entry on the Fermanagh Gold site? If you haven't, drop me a line and I'll send you that info as well.
