	The Troggs, that brings back memories of my wild nights out in London in the 60's ;-) Some of their songs were considered by the authorities too be suggestive so they tried to ban some of them. A few of my favourites were, Wild Thing, With a Girl Like You, I Just Sing, Jingle Jangle, When I'm With You, Lost Girl, I Can't Control Myself :-) A great singer in a great band who will be remembered by many R.I.P. Reg Presley
	Researching: I have given up trying to find any information on (1) Mother of George Wotherspoon - he was born 1759 in Old Monklands. (2) When James Patrick Clusker born 1890 married Mary Ellen Bryant in USA. (3) Information on Thomas Wotherspoon born 1901 in Fife, lived in the Huddersfield area in 1952. Photo is of me in the cloisters of Iona Abbey.
