I can't see an attachment, so I don't know what to look at?

No Ruskie ..... all London born and bred as far as I can see.
What I am playing with at the moment relates to the problem that a lot of family historians have a problem with is the mispellings of names over time.
I will send you a PM which might explain what I am about.
