Thank you for this interesting information! I will look into that family tree! It seems that Harry forrester was indeed named after his maternal grandfather!

Welcome, heatherwil. 
The person who started this thread (tomelom) wondered what had become of Frosty's dad, John Alexander Wilson, whether he married, had descendants, etc. Contact tomelom directly if you wish by clicking his user name and sending an email. |
