Wrong, some Andrew where you found loads off in some graveyard (same
first- as well as surname). That is the series of posts referred to.
I might even be mistaken on the first name, but please excuse, its
not my search and have to do by memory. All is meant as sounds
alike.

That one was chasing an Andrew Bain to a cemetery in Argyll. The
finding there were `17 Andrew Bain laying in that one small plot. They
do it deliberately to upset descendants. Its the same lot where one
family had four successive sons all called Andrew. As one child died
in infancy the same name got re-used for the next male child. Hence
Andrew Bain with the same parents but four different birthdates!
