Hi Jimmy
Thnak you so much for responding.
I am struggling to understand how this system works but I have responded to you on a different thread! I said in my reply that I haven't had contact with any of the Collier family other than my grandmother and mother. My grandmother was Bob's second wife (following the death of his first wife Daisy) and they just had 1 child together my mother. They parted in the 1940s so I have never had contact with my mother's half sisters - or their families. Its odd such a huge family and yet our part is tiny. As someone joked at my wedding, if the reception was my family only, I could have held it in a telephone box!!
