A bit hesitant on whether to ask - following yesterdays thread, but I am completely stuck with solving these fathers names
G????E B???S
J??N W??T
E????D B?????N
It is a great quiz, and I don't want to spoil it for others,
I have spent hours on it for some time now but am just 3 short of completing.
Any clues most appreciated.

none of those are correct and I know that isnt much help but at least it stops you trying to find the wrong fathers

should I give a little clue. Gave one yesterday, but unsure if I upset anyone

The clue seemed fine to me not as its anything to do with me what you do. Just seemed silly that despite your excellent clue someone who obviously felt the need to show off or spoil this brilliant quiz then gave the answer
