Thanks for that Patricia, and for your kindness I'll uncross my eyes,jump off the brick wall and put you back to the top. PS As I am 68 years old I had to laugh at a quote from Bette Davis who said Old age is not for sissies. May Good luck in your search.

Patricia Have you found him on the 1901 census? I must admit I have looked and can't find him. I wonder if there has been a transcription error Margaret
