well done smurf at least you got some good answers and they confirm what I have. I posted a list of three but unfortunately got no joy except boxtop did ask me for an example which I posted but unfortunately have heard nothing.
Keep gpong - its not that easy.

Does the clue for 11 say Poole or pool?

[bibblebub]

factor30 - when it's been asked in other questions it is the Poole spelling, and so the island is Brownsea, which without the sea, gives Brown as the surname

[factor-fiction]

Thanks. So we need 'wings of a dove'.
All I can think of is the letters DE (the extremes of dove) but I do n'tknow of a De Brown or a Ed Brown.

Singers called Brown (Browne): Bobby Brown, Jackson Browne, Ian Browne?

[factor-fiction]

^ ...Jocelyn Brown, Joe Brown, Chris Brown, James Brown, Rosie Brown, Polly Brown..

[factor-fiction]

Could be James Brown as Henry JAMES wote the book Wings of a Dove

[factor-fiction]

^ close but maybe not, as the book by James was actually called Wings of the Dove

He sang Wings of a Dove and there's an island in Poole Harbour called Furzey Island.
