Thanks for the above information. I have had 2 telephone calls since from Amble. Collin Reid telephoned me but did not remember much about the family. He said he would contact Margaret, who was the most knowledgeable on the family history. Can't remember what connection she was to him. However, yesterday I was out shopping when Margaret called me. John Young (painter) had given her my number. She remembers quite a lot and between us we had a fair old conversation on the family, and what we remembered. She knew my Mother, Jean, and was the niece of Lawrence and Alice and is 88. I can't remember much of what we said but I am going to telephone her from home soon when I'll have paper and pen handy. Have a picture of Lawrence to send but need to figure out how to do it first.

Thanks again.
