H Jack, Thank you so much for that information! Someone else has sent me some other information and I now need to find where various people fit in! I must say you are very kind to have responded so quickly. Could you let know the details of how to send for the directory copy and pricings etc, in case I decide to do that? Also, have you any idea what the r.42* next to Joseph Byrom means?

Thanks for the reply.  I guess I didn't indicated this clearly this time. The r. stands for a road number, which coincides with a map of the county that came with the book.  I had it laminated, so I can make copies for cost of copying and mailing. Let me know if you want a copy, and if so, send your mailing address.  I will enclose info about payment.
