Dear Tony,
Thankyou so much. It was very kind of you to answer my query and I apologize for nor relying sooner. I thought he may have been Dr William Eatwell. see below BUT his grandmother was Fatima, an Indian from Calcutta so I would have expected him to have dark feature like his half brother, John my gg grandfather.
Any thoughts?
Ian
