I would sincerely like to thank the people who responded with helpful information, addresses etc to my queries. I now have several new leads to follow up. Thanks again. Pat Smith (Nth Yorkshire) Just an interesting snippet - next week I am meeting a lady from Florida who is visiting England. We have corresponded over the internet for over a year now, I have done research for her in Lancashire and she has helped me with research for my gt grandfather in Texas. She is coming North to spend a few days with us and we are both looking forward to meeting.
