You people out there are great.

Just looked at my messages and someone has proved that Rosslyn was correct.
So it can be used as a man's first name.
I can now sleep in peace.

Best wishes to all.

Many thanks again to you all who burnt the midnight oil.
You found me the correct family and I was up until 2am thismorning following links. Although this Rosslyn? was not a direct relation I guess will have to fork out £7 sometime to see if it was transcribed correctly.
Gets to you, this research!
Anyway think I'll catch up on some sleep.

Thanks a lot.
