    Hi Lyn, Thank you for the well wishes, I have been researching my family tree for 20+ years, but it's only recently that I have plonked my feet firmly in the water.

    Belton, Reverend Canon Francis George - St. Patrick's Highgate

    Aha! I was just about to post and ask you if it looks to be the same chap.. [wasn't sure if it was wishful thinking on MY part or not] BUT I'm glad that you also think it is the same person. I can now positively identify him.. I also know that he died in 1962 aged 80yrs, so he had a great...
