PS - I'm just trying to help with the ancestors of a great medical pioneer, Janet Elizabeth (Claypon) Lady Forber. She was the first to use retrospective (historical) cohort design and the t test in an epidemiologic study.
Vignettes of the History of Epidemiology: Three Firsts by Janet Elizabeth Lane-Claypon
Here she is in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Lane-Claypon
Charlton Lane, whose career in the church i'm trying to understand, was her grandfather.
