Hi Terry, Thanks very much for your help. Will have to look a bit deeper, all i had to go on was a message from a relative which she had info off her mother who unfortunately is not with us anymore. All It said was James was Mayor of Torquay in the 1930's and he had 2 daughters Ethel & Margaret !! Oh well back to the drawing board !! Thanks Again Yvonne
