Thanks for your reply but I'm puzzled as to why 'an internet myth' should be considered inflammatory.

You said 'We have not been able to establish Richard's parents...' Doesn't that confirm that the baptismal information I've been given has no basis in fact: that it is a myth?

I fail to see how I have belittled the work done by members of the Society as I never mentioned Society members.

I sent my Solly information to the society many years ago. My long - languished interest in this family was aroused by receiving an invitation to the 20th anniversary celebrations as I was a founder member of the society.

Methinks I will continue to let my interest in this family languish.
