Regards, Andrew. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Andrew, sorry for the delay in answering your query. I have something on all of them assuming that you mean Angus,T.D. and not Angas. But I have no reference to three of them, Ball, Berryman and Boyden as being Australians. The amount of info also varies. e.g I have approx 50 references to publications in which Busteed and Booker are mentioned. I think e-mail would be a more suitable medium for this volume of info, assuming that you want all of that. Please let me know as I am now in a better position to answer your query.
