 Dear shellyesq I am blown away by the detail that you have unearthed on the Sweeny family, how can I ever repay you. It has certainly filled in a lot of gaps in this part of my family tree.

I am intrigued by Helen and how often her various trips have been recorded in the local paper. Is this the norm as I thought such details where the reserve of socialites.   

Once again I will be eternally grateful for your help in closing this chapter of my family tree.

Gerry

You're welcome.  In those days, I think the newspapers would put in whatever social doings they were informed about.
