Hi Ronni Looks like I might have completed everything!!
I successfully changed Caths Apple id, then I had to change my password for my id so all is good. Cath now uses her own email address and I use mine rather than have us both on my address. Much better. Thanks so very much Ronni for your patience and advice, I wouldnt have done it without your help.
