I can most certainly confirm that Paul Ambrose Croghan and Paul Connor were one and the same person. I knew him from 1963, when he was an aeroplane-spotter at Ringway; two years later he founded the "Emily B. Bell Memorial Aviation Society", which operated for a few years running coach trips to aerodromes; in 1972 he helped me to found another aeroplane-spotting club entitled "P.B. Enterpises (Aero)" and continued to assist in this, especially in an advisory capacity, for six years. Sometimes I would go with him to folk clubs, especially one which he used to run with Richard Murphy in the "Black Lion", Salford. From 1978 to 1980 he shared a house with me in Sale, until there was a rather unfortunate quarrel and we went our separate ways.
