	Looking at the original I think the transcriber really didn't want to type what they saw as it's clearly Slapper!

	Daddy was a Tailor which is how he went from seaman to Tailor probably.

The same occured with one of my rellies who was French and came to Cornwall, originally Claude turned into Clode - just think of a cornishman saying a french accented Claude - plausable eh? t.

	Looks like ;-) daddy musta been so proud. If you were so inclined the marriage cert would give his daddy's name

	I don't think I will get a Cert with Slapper on it ..... might get mixed up with family stuff and then they would worry !

	Tina, I used to live in Hereford and we often came down to Bristol for the nightlife. Do you know a nightclub south of town called "Town's Talk!
