Thanks- I do have RWs for those years, currently on loan to Andrew
Craddock but I shall have them back when I can arrange to collect
them. I shall pas on the various opinions on Primrose to the person
who was wondering about it, having read about the Bamborough/Bamburgh
thread on Change Ringers. He was wondering (not entirely seriously!)
if it was another NE name connected with Primrose in SE Newcastle. I
think this is the unlikeliest explanation of the name.
