Thanks for the replies.
I have got a lot of the stuff that is easily available through open non sub sources.
I have have been studying the Windsor and Maidenhead press for about 15 years and have found a lot of the minutiae of the family. An intriguing story if ever there was one.
I used to live very close to where Sidney Camm had his workshop which was about 50 yards or sofrom the house that my GGF owned and my GF was probably born in in May 1886, 4, Greenham Place, Oxford Road, Clewer.
As I wrote, I want to find out exactly where the Camms lived between then and abt 1921.
