No luck so far - but what I hadn't know was that Leo Blair was at one time Wecretary of the Young Communist League in Scotland, and later became a Conservative. So there's a family tradition of politcal mobility here.

And they emigrated to Australia when Tony was a child, and styed there over three years. So by rights he should have been on Ozzie.

As for his mother, she was called Hazel - which is not a common Irish name. But that doesn't mean too much. But I think if he'd had an Irish mother he'd have made use of that fact at some time.
