Hi PricklyHolly. I thought I had just written to you but perhaps because you can't see me I'm not really here?
More likely I did something other than click 'Submit' and now I can't remember.....
Well you have left me in a right state and I think the only thing left is to ascertain from the real descendant which family he really knows about and who was alive when he was a child, from 1939.
Originally, this a.m. I was going into G.R. to find out about Sarah Jane Griffiths, because there seems to be a choice, then I saw what you had been upto and Sarah Jane went out of my head.....
