Good call. I had forgotten that was available.:whistling:

His name was not a common one, so I will explore that route.

Thank you.



Steve,

Thank you for your reply, Lesley.


I have no idea what his local newspaper may be. The reason for trying to obtain his record is to, hopefully, find out where he was from.





Steve.

Any ideas why?...

KISS is proven, yet again.:yesnod:

Entered next to nothing, and got dozens of hits. :crazy:

That you all for your invaluable help, yet again.


Steve.

That looks very promising.

Sadly, when I put those details into GRO, I get no matches, for any quarter??? Why is that?
