Liz, your a bloody superstar!!! I have printed it off :)
I don't think John could read and write, cause he spelt his name karney when he first
moved to australia and then 2 years later was spelling it as carney. So perhaps he was a
kearney and then being the only kearney immigrant in his family just adopted carney.
Someone did once say to me that generally those who couldn't read pretty much always
remember the first letter and that's why such errors occured!
