Many thanks Shera for your quick response it knocked me off my feet. I find it strange that my mother Edna Nora and her siblings dating from 1913 James, Doris,Barbara and Diamond were not mentioned over all the years they were at home. My mother left home in 1944 when she married my dad. Once again many thanks. Jon P
