Cockie:
C refers you to the word try.

I have Chambers Crossword Dictionary which gives Sap for Try.

Yes, sunray, you are correct, but the reference given in the preamble - the BRB - mentions neither sap under try nor try under sap. Not a major stumbling block, however.

As always I am well behind everybody else. I have a full grid and a six letter surname towards the bottom of the grid. Despite reading until I am blue in the face about that person/family I am no nearer finding the other three. I think they involve across entries in the third, fifth and eighth rows but nothing is jumping out at me. A nudge, gentle or otherwise, in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hi AP,

If you Google the extra words followed by the location spelt by the misprints, it will be the first name that appears.

Thanks for that Brendan. Unfortunately and despite having a full grid I am still looking for the extra words. I will go back to it later when I get back from my second Covid jab.

Thanks to Brendan I now have a 7 letter name in the third row, Assuming the 6 letter one I have in the third row from the bottom is right I need just two more. They will now have to wait until later.
