Many thanks Jennifer. I'll check it out! They were supposed to be quite upper middle I think, but not aristocracy! Forget the milk often do you Derek :)

A long shot I know, but I have just found my G Grandmother lived in Shibden at Hough House - from her will. Have tried googling, but the house is either gone, or has changed its name, or doesn't merit being mentioned on google! Just wondered if anyone knows of it? I am planning a visit to take photos at some point. Any tips on how to locate it would be great too! Trina Will have to check back later - have to cook dinner now.
