Thank you all so much for all your research into the Leaf's. Sorry about Ann and Crichton bit I did say not to put the name in as it had been done before! Poor girl she "bullies" to help us poor souls for work, lovely lady when you get past the "Welsh" bit!
Looks like Robert senior remarried in 1911 census?
Regarding Norman, Alice and Nora Crichton's father Alexander I have found that he died in Peru!!
I did put a thank you to all before but just in case some did not read it please accept my grateful thanks for the Crichton work,
Cameron

you are right of course GlitterBaby, we have done Crichton's before, but it was mainly Leaf he is interested in and we haven't done those before
