Appendices A and B in the LOTR is the source of a lot of this information--there are probably others as well.

Thanks guys, I'll check the appendices. I was unsure regarding the Silmarillion. I borrowed it from the library many years ago and had to renew it several times in order to get through it. For the life of me, I can't remember a single thing I read in it - just a vague memory of a tsunami of names. I recall finally handing it back to the smug librarian (finished are we?) with a kind of blurred zombified feeling.
Having read the Silmarillion thread, I should perhaps gird my loins, think of England and do battle with this tome once more!!!
Or perhaps not just yet... I'll check the appendices first.
