I do suspect her correct CLN should be Cruttenden but it's not quite a certainty, so I've left it as Crittenden at least for now.
I have a bit more work to do up in this branch before climbing back down and then back up via a different line, so possibly you will encounter more input from me before I make that descent. :o)
