        You're looking for a Christian name shared by four people who died in the listed locations.
        I'm taking the lady wife out to lunch now, so I'll check on progress shortly after 2.00 p.m.

            Can't believe that's not right Cloughie!! Nice work.

            Can't get the real answer either...

            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        Nobody's come up with the correct Christian name so far.

                            The second name in your list is in the relevant language. I wouldn't have thought that a huge number of famous musical 'F's died in Heidelberg...

                              Rule no 1 - always read the question <doh>

                              It was wrong anyway . Norfy's not giving anything away .

                              Did you leave a tip after your lunch with the Missus, Norfy?
