Hi Rose, what a lovely picture, and a very heart warming story,
it is so good to hear a positive report about a teenager, a very brave young man, his family must be so proud of him.

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as a Mitchell.
