Hi Listers, Thank you all for the response to query on the above - we haven't yet anything positive to get us started but will obviously try the suggested List of Mayors and Charter held at IW Records 0ffice to see what that reveals. We can only say we are really grateful to those who have replied - but we are going to have to try to pursue this to further the research in the hope that our John Day can be traced back through the recommended resources you have suggested. Thank you so very much John & Angela Attrill IOW _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000007ukm/direct/01/
