	Well, I know I'm terrifically short-sighted but I'm now beginning to wonder whether I need glasses for reading as well as driving! Thanks Jacqueline.

	I'm trying to trace the whereabouts of William Gorton Brooker born Maryport, Cumberland in 1842, the son of James. I've got him in 1871 as an Art Student living in Chelsea with wife Frances (nee Hudson). He created the memorial sculpture (which sits in Mowbray Park, Sunderland) of the Victoria Hall disaster in Sunderland when far too many children died. I don't know what happened to him after that but I think I found a death for his wife, Frances, in the Whitehaven (Cumbria) District in 1904. Nothing, however, which gave me a lead on William. Can anyone help, please?
