My fathers brother was an original pal. If you want to know some thing, the saying is "The Horses Mouth" don't go talking to his arse.

Very nicely put Walter,


My reference to Andrew Jackson was based on his interest on the subject and the fact that he give me information relating to my great grandfather and saved me a fortune in research costs in the process.

I am however always happy to defer to those who have clear experience of these matter.

Can you tell Walter, did you come across any of my family, William Archibald Douglas, He lost a leg in 1917 or his son, Tommy Douglas. Another one would be William “Billiy” Birtwhisle the three of them had connects with LangBridges & Howard & Bulloughs between the wars.
