Who can tell ... if you lost someone around this time, perhaps he may have been on an extended vaction amongst this lot! There again, some entries relate to versions of the proverbial 'Mr. Plod' or even his Guv., so don't be afraid to check. After all - some of us are proud of our convict ancestry even though for an earlier period.

Best wishes,

    ....  Barbara and David
