OK Susan, not to worry, no rush, not as if they are going anywhere lol

My elderly relative in Banbury keeps coming up with more and more info about our relative, James W. the stonemason, who was her grandfather and my g.grandfather. He is WW's son. I must get to see her soon and write everything down properly so I don't forget it, she tells me snippets when I ring her - wish I could record the calls, there is so much info. I get in a muddle trying to write it down as she is telling me yet another anecdote.
Won't go anywhere now tho till my friend is out of her pain - she needs her mates around her. Another pal is over from Miami this week, so have to catch up with her and also have my hospital apptmt. Then in Sept. my friend is over from Germany for 6 weeks! Hardly time to get bored here, only when misery guts is about lol He is really boring! He wants me to fix up another holiday for us but am not interested at the mo, he will have to wait.
Have fun,
Lizxx

Susan,

I am amazed and really grateful, that would seem to put a few more pieces of the puzzle together. I'll print this off and have a good look through it when OH goes out.

Thanks a million. You really are a star.
