Hi Cathy

I was in the Mitchell today and tried to find William Napier with no luck. Only two William Napiers both wrong dates of birth.
No sign of Jane either and I tried using McMeechin/Meechan/Meachan/
Meachin/Meeghan/in/Meaghan/in. You name it I tried it.

Sorry but at least he wasn't a pauper.
