CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOUR?

■ I have been given a JVC Compact Camcorder, model no GR/AX400. Can anyone supply me with an instruction book for it? I know it’s old, but worth a try!

■ As part of research into my family tree I am trying to trace descendants of Paisley-born Walter Weir (1849-1908) and his wife Barbara Mclean (1848-1939), from Fortrose. They lived in Stoke-onTrent, where Walter worked for Twyfords. They had four children – John (d.1962), William, Annie Higson (d.1966) and James Robert (d.1945).
