[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 52356, member: 481"]Bakersgma, I can't thank you enough! Thank you! I'd concluded that Jennie Williams wasn't his mother, but you've provided much more detail than I found. Interesting that there's a Caernarfonshire connection through Idris' parents, since there's a connection to that area in the album. It's a long shot, but I'm now wondering if the death of his mother had anything to do with the 'Jane Thomas' poem. Yes, I found Idris in the Craig Colony last night (but had to give up researching, it was getting late). Thanks for the link, I'll read up about it. Poor man :-(.
