[Our first version of 'FitzGibbon1' was launched on 11.06.08 as a Draft page, not formally in the database. It was based on what had been found on various web sites. The following differs significantly from that version. This makes us a bit nervous of what we report but, at least for the time being, we feel we should follow BIFR1976.]
