For Robin,

Dick is right that Elijah's wife was probably MARY ANN TAYLOR rather than Woods. I've been trying to organize my notes and found the following. In the second line of the divorce reference A N Peatt might be Anthony, but I did not record why he would have been mentioned. Likewise, I cannot explain the four page numbers after this length of time. I added text in [] to try to make the notation more readable.
