Hello Geoff 

Thank you for those ,

I am ao a long shot 

James Dickie who married in 1925 Lincoln st Nicolas.

seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth by 1928 ,
 He is no longer mentioned in the electoral register for Reservoir st.

so my long shot is to see if I can find anything on wood firms who he seemed to work for ,

cannot spend much time on this , Lincoln Xmas Market starts again tomorrow
