Hi Pat, Thank you very much  but Jericho had already given me the details of the Biography and I have tried to buy a copy here in Scotland but no luck hopefully my relations in Australia will be able to help. I am sure that it will give me a lot of family information. I keep hoping that one of his children or friends in New Zealand  may see my request on RootsChat.

Thanks again

Jo.
