Ah, that's good to know dotty, a very big help.
Hi craft, thanks for your help. I'll have to find out when Annie Longstaff died then and see if was in Richmond area 6 months before her husband.
Unfortunately, I don't have any set in stone facts about him or his wife. I know he worked in the Leyburn area, that his father owned one of the Feldom farms in the late 20s, he had 3 sons and had a cattle transport business. In 1929 he'll have been about 18 and he was very tall. Not much to go on I know.
