Yeah, Karen, I am surprised that you aren't in here like a dirty shirt  ;D ....( what does that expression MEAN, anyway?) These are always interesting digs, trying to find all the names used by one ancestor to prove it is one and the same person...  J.J.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much everyone. Massive apologies for not replying sooner, if it wasn't for J.J. pm-ing me I'd have never know you'd all been working so hard as I was not getting any update messages.

My friend will be thrilled with your findings, I will see her tomorrow and tell her all once I've got my head around it all. I have to say it has confused me a little (it doesn't take much)!

Right I need to read through it all again.

Thank you all SO much
Love
Legs

xxxx back...I'd thought perhaps your notification hadn't been sent. It happens... ;D  Nice of you to post for your friend...We may have gotten ahead of ourselves but it all will need sorting anyway. However...it is so great that the initial replies did help solve the most recent history in order to continue.
all the best, J.J.

She was thrilled! I've not had chance to go through it all with her yet as she was away on holiday then I've been away for the last 2 weeks. I hope to go through it all in more detail soon. thanks xxx
