Because this got bumped already .. my expressed in this thread Christmas wish was granted. Not at or by Christmas, but a couple of months later (even if I sat on it for a while checking things out to be sure I wasn't dreaming them up).
As has been posted elsewhere on G2G my "Liverpool born" gr-gr-grand wasn't. Which is why he was a brickwall. He was born in Sweden and the names he gave for himself and his father weren't exactly 100% accurate, either. (More brickwall.)
But once the bricks started to loosen enough to pull from the wall, he was documentable and verified.
Definitely post this again, Pip.
