Thanks for responding. Looks as though I will have to go down that road.

Sorry to but in, but have you tried 192.com? Worth a go as you might find
him on the voting register.
He may have opted to be anon , but still worth a free try.

Hi Sam,
If you don't get another response from the list, you might try an
old-fashioned approach, and send a letter to the editor of the newspaper in
Bristol. In the days prior to email, I had great success that way. Just a
short letter explaining who (and why) I was seeking, and some sort of
contact
information, resulted in a wonderful reply. If Alun Ashton himself does not
see your letter, somebody who knows him might! (An internet search, and/or
your local public library, will provide the name of the appropriate
newspaper.)
(My "people" were in Dorset. I contacted the Denver Public Library, and was
given info for two newspapers. I picked one to write to; it turned out to be
a weekly rather than daily, and led to the discovery of a previously unknown
cousin -- who read the newspaper after she returned from holiday!)

Good luck!
