Hi Bob, it's me!
Your envelope arrived this morning (Fri 20-12-2013). The business card matches the bits and pieces I got from you a couple of years ago.
I haven't found any link between my family and Thomas' family. I've got my cousin on the case as he's done more research into the Bartons than I have.
Enticingly, my great-uncle Clarance Barton had an electrical shop, in St Annes I think, but that may just be coincidence.
