bobpike Posted 27 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 27 September , 2006 Geoff, Thank you. It is interesting that these two died three days apart, but the family details differ as to the father. I know these were supplied years later, but why is he 'late' on one, but not the other. Could he have died in those few days, or is it more likely an oversight?
