Hi Cec,

You are so right. There can always be a problem with accents. The surname
was BORET in London for two generations before him, but whether that was
mis-transcribed in Canada is anyone's guess.
So, I hope someone may be able to have a look for a possible alternative
spelling too.
Doreen was very quick off the mark with my original request and I thanked
her personally.

Cheers,
Robyn
