Cathy,

I had a look at a couple of John Mcleod applications today but no joy.

There are quite a few round the same age so I'll have another look next time. It's really difficult when you don't even have a place of birth.

Regards,
Annette M

Hi Annette,
many thanks for having a look. I did try the census, but you can see how common the names are.

I plan to be at the Mitchell (HOORAY) on Tuesday 15th August.
If anyone wants to give me a shout, I'll probably be mooching around
Poor Records or Newspapers.
