That's very kind of you. Marlborough Wright. Reedmaker in Leigh, Lancashire around 1820's to 1830's. If I don't reply it's because I am going home now and I don't have a computer at home. I will get back in the morning. Regards CAROLE

I think the query is that this ancestor was made famous in a song.
