Hullo Daryl

Many thanks for your reply. He would have been Wesleyan. It was only if
you had easy access to the information that led me to make the enquiry so
don't worry any more about it. I'm almost sure he didn't come out here but
no doubt the daughter-in-law, on travelling to UK, would have been put in
touch with the family - and the rest is history as they say!!

Thanks very much.

cheers

Pat
