There's a Crum in that list Rena!  ;D

Skoosh.

Thanks Skoosh, Did you notice Mr Crum-Ewing was the son of Mr Ewing-Crum?
 
That family lost me when they emerged as
Ewing-Crum-Ewing - and other triple hyphanated names. ;D

Scottish toffs traditionally don't hyphenate their names, so a double faux pas! If he was out in Demerara it was surely for the sugar!  ;D
 OVD Rum a fav' of mine.  ;D

Bests,
Skoosh.

Bests,
Skoosh.

Neither of them might have had any control over what was published.  Having said that, it wouldn't do to miss either of the surnames off because it showed their pecking order, a bit like the "Crum Brown"s.   When you have one of your "Crum"'s as an MP in Parliament you need everyone to know you might have a bit of clout due to your name.

Mine's a Jamaican navy rum and pep thanks.  ;D
