Hi Henk,

Belanger and Zurbrigg both on the same page of Wigton register Page 750
Sanderson Snoxell, Ring Hayward and McGregor all on Wigton Page 749

So no clue there. They are all in the same register and on adjacent pages.

So far I would best guess
N7226
Ring

T9322
Snoxell
Belanger
Zurbrigg

Leave Sanderson floating but possibly T9322
McGregor and Hayward possibly N7226

Regards
Ross
