Welcome to the boards, Rosemary.

Follow the advice given on Rosalind's other two threads about the Cowchers, on which you have posted - i.e. -

to try to contact Rosalind, click on her name in green at the top of one of her posts, and send a private message.
IF she has kept her email address updated with GR, GR will notify her of your message.
With luck, she may be able and willing to reply.

If she replies with a private message, GR will email you a link to her reply - possibly in your junk email.
If she replies here on the boards, on one of her threads, you won't be notified, so you'll have to keep an eye on the threads.

FLORENCE MAUD COWCHER (known as Maud) was my aunt. Her brother Ronald was my father. Her youngest sister Betty is still alive - but elderly - living in Sydney Australia.
