Hi Judith, this is very much like a problem I have just come across with
one of my ancestors and I am afraid that my knowledge is not sufficient
to come up with any further ideas to help you. So I am copying this
message to the mailing list to see if anyone here has some ideas that may
help you, I will keep my fingers crossed for you, let me know if anyone
comes up with anything to help you.
Kind regards,
Emma Bertram
PS. I cannot remember offhand, but did he have any brothers or sisters?
