Thanks Shera I didnt know about the fact that his son was assisting in the coal business . In fact it came as a huge surprise two weeks ago to find he had a previous marriage and a son! I now have plenty to go on to research. I think I have found the name of his first wife but have yet to confirm I am correct. Thanks yet again
