Thank you so much, Dea. I always wondered where they lived before they moved to Acklam and Greylands Ave. is ringing a bell.

I don't know anything about Lily and Norman, haven't heard the names before but will check it out.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the extra info, Austin and Chris. The son born 22 Nov. is mine but not F.W. Turnbull the architect.
