Well I know that my pm was opened quite soon after I sent it. I didn't have to bother myself to go surfing and spend time looking for the info which could help. It would have been nice to have received a thank you though.

This is one of those posts where you help and wonder if you should bother next time.

Just to let any helpers on here know that I spotted a bit of info which has allowed me to narrow down the area that Linda might be living in.

I've sent a pm to Russell rather than post info and dates on here.

Hi Russell,

Welcome to the boards. This is an old post so possible that Linda is no longer a member. You could try sending her a message in case it can be passed on to her.
