That's very useful information Stan. Thank you. Have you any thoughts
about whether or not Samuel could be employed as a 'tailor' for HM
Customs? I have had one email from a subscriber who suggested that his
occupation might be 'sailor' but, on checking the three originals I have
access to, the word is clearly 'tailor'.

I appreciate your assistance.

Cheers ... Ralph
