Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated. I find it quite funny that I thought I had the NW quarter mostly all fitting together only to find out it was wrong. Thank goodness for pencil.:)
As this is probably all academic now, I had the first few down clues as:
Col 2 - PAOLO
Col 3 - AGRASTE
Col 5 - CNUT
Col 6 - HARPER
Col 7 - MOORE
2 was a guess based on something I saw on here, 6 I couldnt get to parse but if fits lol.
