An elusive customer is proving difficult to find in Free BMD, but there may be smoke and mirrors around.
Would someone named as Louise or Louisa become Lucy?

Hi Daggers,
Tell us more, tell us more.....
Perhaps a couple of twisted wildcard searches and/or a different data source would help.

This one is a little sensitive, so I shall await the cert before I can say more. I know it is tantalising...
Thanks
