Thank you ErikaH for telling me about more information having come up, also many thanks to you and greyghost for that information. I don't remember having the information about Annie Coxs marriage so very grateful. I am writing all this up straightaway in my records book so that I will not lose it again - what a nightmare! Many grateful thanks both of you. x
