Not sure what happened to Maud......although have just been on the phone to someone who " remembers " the name but had no idea who she was or what happened to her, she did however think she had a child....stories do get muddled in the years of telling, dont they!!

Off to follow that one up now....

Did she stay with her mother I wonder.

Thank you for all the help Choccy.....Your a Diamond
