Thanks. I was hoping to meet the man with 7 wives, but nothing doing.

Not with you on this one! I even looked up the lyrics to Swannee River but that's not it at all. Do please explain, Howard!

"As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats, every cat had seven kitts. Kitts, cats, sacks, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?" (English nursery rhyme).

But I think that that was the St Ives in Cornwall.

Yes, I do know the rhyme, but as St Ives is so inextricably linked in my mind's eye with Cornwall, I got completely confused and for all my life, I assumed the rhyme was about the Cornish town. I see for the first time that it is more likely to be the Huntingdonshire one!
Maybe we are both confused!!! But thank you for the elucidation!
