Hi Marian,

There is something so familiar about the surname. I wish I could think why. Maybe there is an old thread about someone with that surname but I feel it's off a television programme - to do with history rather than fiction.

It's going to drive me up the wall until I can work it out. Off to Google before bedtime.J
