I know Ronnie Corbett was born in Scotland. It was a small joke.(Small-geddit? Ronnie would approve.)As for the Brontes old man, well, I think he was popular enough in his local community. His sermons shook the rafters with his proclamations of fire and brimstone. However, I didn't know about the name change, so thank you for that. Wuthering Heights by Emily Prunty, eh?...Just doesn't sound right. Next you'll be telling us Ullyses was written by James Jones.
