I assume the 1958 death is the correct one- buried at Christ Church Cemetery.

Also buried there is David B Blacklock 1889- 1965.

This matches the details for Adam's brother, David Bell Blacklock.

Yes- more info needed


:-)

Need more input from Neil, I think...

Chris :)

Chris- that's a great find. So it looks to be our man scooting off to Canada.

However- how does Neil know that Adam fathered John Fallon??

Might just need barrels if this isn't right, lol...

(WW1, added above)

Chris :)

Hehe- and two smoking barrels!

Chris- the closest thing I have to hand is a glass of wine- so no worries, the wine's going nowhere! (apart from my mouth)

So it's Lock, not Stock then, (lol, and nearly got that the wrong way round)

Chris :)

(ducks head here quick, in case AQ throws something at me!!)
