Elaine is quite right

....
 

I wasn't, for even an instant, thinking otherwise - do hope you didn't interpret my comment differently.  I hadn't seen the term used in that fashion before, despite overspending on SP for the past few years  ;D,  & was glad to see the explanation.

Thank you all very much, I must admit I thought that was what it meant, but it's nice to have it clarified.
I only stumbled on this DC by accident, I had a few spare credits so decided to get Helen's brother's DC-BUSFIELD FRASER, the informant to his death was NELLIE BYIERS, could not find a marriage for HELEN FRASER & BYIERS, but found her DC which sated she was married to JOHN FAIRWEATHER BYIERS, with this rather unusual name I thought I would easily find him-still looking.
Regars.
