these annoying dingbats

[hunny sprout]

Just got hold of the Pendleside Dingbats I have read you all talk about I get the drift of a few, not usually my thing, but can you help me with the following

Dont get how you get "Bob Cratchit" from "Cratchi" no 30

And what or who is "Wexford Carol" No 23 if I have it right

also cant work out
Numbers 11, 12 & 48

11 = Gerrge VI is written over Bethlehem's 747

12 = (First line) - Or bring (Or is large and Bring is small)
(second Line) - coronet coronet
(third line) - hymn a profit

48 = Bartett (Not a clue on this one)

[BabsG]

Bob means to cut short.
There is a Wexford carol.
Think what else 747 can be.
Can't help with the last two sorry.

12. Gold we bring to crown him king
48. Pere Noel (Bartlett pears with no L)

[Legolassie]

Hi No. 12 is Gold we bring to crown him AGAIN (profit)

[rogerr]

11 Born is the King on Bethlehem's plain
