It depends what level of Tea Merchant he was..... It's a bit like saying does a grocer run the corner shop or is his name Sainsbury?!! What was his name....I have done a lot of searching for my tea merchants.......... Merry |

LOL - Maybe he was a brandy ''merchant'' on the side?? (Suppose the date is too late to be a smuggler!??) Quite strange swap of occ though, isn't it? Merry |
