Thanks Ward

The only secret is to get the search engines work proper.
In this case if you search 'jas hardy aberdeen watchmaker brings ~1500 results and the hit is hard to find.
If the search term is '"jas hardy" aberdeen watchmaker' there are 3 results and 1 hit.

Just a combination of technique, knowledge and luck! (and some training)
