GUEST,John Moulden, Profuse apologies if 6 days is too long a time to respond to your post, which I have only seen this evening, Geoff the Duck has hit the nail on the head, since my second post on this thread, I have had two gigs, a rehursal, and had a day in the studio with my band 'The Bounty Hounds' and other small matters like work and family get in the way.

Your knowledge and expertise are much appreciated, and I am just in the process of downloading the Journal of the British Archaeological Association to investigate further although the Greig-Duncan vol 1 p 91 looks potentially the most promising, with mentions of a French Ship, 'the Allechance' more digging to do there!

Once again, thank you for your efforts, and to Martin Ryan for the recommendation. Also to Geoff the Duck for springing to my defence.

John
