                   Dormer 
                    as I recall 
                  He was his own person and as we thought a little eccentric!
                    He lived a good and frugal life as a magistrate, but had
                    a passion for divining! I can still remember him sitting
                    in the back seat of the car, of a journey, with his rod in
                    hand - suddenly the rod would dive downwards and he would
                    announce some mineral at that poimt in the depth of the earth!
                    His brothers and sisters teased him mercilessly! He was good
                    company and always had an opinion from a different point
                    of view!
