Surname could be Hodgson.

Using Ctrl +     the first name still looks like it ends with an A

Having done that - and thank you because I didn't know about Ctrl+ until you said it - I am even more convinced that it is Hodgshon/Hodgson.

Hello chaps,

Thank you all so much for your input in my absence!

Lots to think about - I think I might go back to the Archive, and ask if I can look at the original, as the film one is SO poor.

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes,
