Hi Dorothy, yes thanks I did. Having spoken with aged BIL last night he then remembered that his grandfather always walked with a crutch AFTER I mentioned the 'cripple' notation...lol

I can't see that as noted once he was working.

As Portland Rose found they changed their surname, seemingly at will. This is what is driving me up the wall.
