Thanks for your last post too granny. All very interesting. Will register and do a post in answer to the last one and see if a link can be established between Dinah and jessie Jones. Will consider your suggestion seriously too after looking further into connections.
Well well whoever would have thought we would have got this far .Do you think its the same chap, granny? Bert? DD ? Greenwood?

You lot are the expert seekers and finders. I wonder if we will ever find why M Roberts was given this stick and why it had the 2x2's ! Thanks again everyone.
