I assume he passed on before I can remember him. I think I have a photo of the whole family somewhere. Alexander and Elizabeth with all the children.

Thanks for that Derek, It would be difficult for me Derek - as I don't have a scanner :-) ha ha We have just bought a new digital camera and I have been playing about with it and there's been no stopping me!! In the past I had to ask my son-in-law but I have found success with digitally photographing the old pics and putting them on the computer - so far so good. I think I shall have to have a search for Moira's details, when I can.
