Caroline,
That is Absolutly fantastic! And makes much more sense than anything I've managed to come up with.
I will digest the information tomorrow as today has felt as though I have nothing but bang my head against a brick wall.
I did today find a Stanley Bernard baker and a leslie d baker who both have the same mothers maiden name, Higgins. However the information you have discovered sounds spot on and should please my
Mother no end as she is desperate to know about her family. So Thankyou!
