Thanks for that Fibonacci !! I have checked out your suggestion , unfortunately it doesn't offer any help !! I am hoping that someone will come up with something useful !!

Hi,Pea Brain,I was wondering if perhaps,the setter (Lizzez Quizzes) has put President in instead of Johnson If so then the missing name would be the president who came after Grant. What do you think?

[Pea Brain]

Hi quinie. Thanks for your post. I have thought about that possibility but have semi-discounted it on account of it being such a big mistake to make ! I have been going through all sorts of other possibilities eg names of battleships, famous horses, but with no luck whatsoever !!! I shall keep trying !!

If quinie is correct, and it should be Johnson instead of President, then the next name would be Hayes.

Hi,Pes Brain, it isn't really a big mistake-if setter's been thinking of presidents then he/she might have put that down by mistake. I was going to suggest a senior moment but sure setter's not at that stage yet lol I keep hoping that Liz will get back to us.

The sequence is correct, you are just thinking along the wrong lines.

I'm sure between now and the closing date in two months time in March you should be able to find the answer.

Thank you very much, QuizmasterG. Back to the drawing board!

[Pea Brain]

Thank you so much one and all !!! I shall take note of QuismasterG and keep stirring up the grey matter !! Good luck everybody !!
