Thanks very much David. That fills a gap. These aren't my family, but those of a drinking mate whose family tree I did a few years ago and put on Wikitree as i thought it was a shame not to put an unusual name on a public site. Your Uncle Bob who lives in France. He'd regaled us with stories about how the Dallastons had lived in Leicester for centuries but it turned out that his grandfather was from Ipswich. But Bob has never let the facts interfere with a story!

Kind regards

David
