Hi Chris,

I'm in your debt once more, Shirley was a complete unknown to me since yesterday. I only knew of his daughter Myfanwy, I was also unaware that the Rev Burford was widowed / divorced and had remarried. I wonder if Myfanwy married and had a family. My quest continues.

Kind Regards.....Bill Rosedale
