Wow, well done and thank you.
That is absolutely awesome people. I have pored over this for ages, I have even looked at a lot of the records but never connected them or discarded them as being wrong. Isn't it amazing how you see something but don't make a connection or don't have a connection at the time, but when its pointed out you just kick yourself for not seeing the bloomin obvious.
At this stage all I have to do is get to the bottom of the court and prison business and it will be all wrapped up.
Judith I think I can do without those divorce papers, Thanks anyway.

Thanks, Rusted
