[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4374564, member: 5833"]In the end we were never sure because we couldn't find any documentation supporting there being 2 of them.

I'm irritated with myself for not having saved any pix of the country lane group. Our former member jivvy kept turning them up. They seem to be plentiful. When the Lamant descendant got in touch with us, there was no mention of a brother or son who also made cameos.
