Wow what can I say apologies for not checking sooner and huge thanks for your work Louise and mini haha.

I know a lot about the family from Cawthorne but nothing about Walter high you have both helped tremendously. Your information has helped me understand why he ended up in New Zealand.

Once again thank you very much
