Oh, I see what you mean about BLACK - silly me!
I know that the Scots used middle names according to a traditional formula, because I have also traced my paternal line from from NZ back to Stewarton, Ayrshire. It had it's difficulties, but, luckily, my NZ ancestors generously gave each of their children a good handful of middle surnames - like a living history! The old Welsh system was brilliant too - goodness knows how future genealogists will manage!
Thank you for the info on Park Row. I thought at first that it might be the Convent Nursing Home, but that is at Woodthorpe. That is where my grandparents used to go when they were ill enough. Park Row may have been the 'Pay-Bed Block' facility which they also used. I'll see if I can nail it.
Now my bed is definitely calling!
