Dear Sir. many thanks for this useful information, unfortuneatly no one rememebrs this person apart from my late Aunt's brother who is about 20 years her junior, & he cant remember anything apart from the name of Charles Soden, I thought it might have been a name from around North Wales area, but the Sodens who are married into our side of the family have never heard of him, so thats why I'm asking all you experts, but I will follow up on this lead, as it might be correct, iI would imagine looking at the date it might be the same one.
Thanks for your email, I will try and confirm & let you know.
