Hi Alan Terrific stuff... so much info to digest with births, deaths and marriages/spouses, plus possible sibling/s. I had not taken the time to further check the database so not picked up on George Edward M. Thank you so much Alan. I'm sure that Pat and her family will be as excited as I am. Puts a few more puzzle pieces into place. Had a cheeky giggle over the "already bruised wrist" comment but too tired to come back with a humourous response. Now... if our youngest son was at my side, he'd have come up with a beauty! I shall get back to you soon.
