Thank you Marie. The picture is one of my cats, Tinker, who is rather plump but doesn't appreciate being put on a diet. LOL

The "Marked as answered" tick is broken. Once on, you can't remove it. Has been reported to Genes many times but nowt happens.

Best to avoid it altogether - you never know when you might want to come back to a thread.

(Nice cat picture)

Could I have a look up for the Isabel the daughter of the above on the 1911 census. She is now called Pritchard, married to George Frederick (born 1883) in 1909. At least I hope this is Isabel. They may be at Coundon, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham. Thank you. This is marked as answered and I don't know how to get it off. Thanks.
