When did various "Sisters" join and/or leave?

Unknown songs and demos, who wrote what, who sang what, the usual biographies, discography gubbins, photos of Eldritch with no sunglasses, etc, etc, etc, yadda, yadda, yadda....

I'm trying to work out who is in The Sisters on each of the boots I have.

I know that Ben left during October 83 and they did the last couple of the 83 gigs as just Von, Craig and Gary (but which?)
I know that Wayne's 1st gig was 7 April 84,
I know that Gary left some time March 85 (but when exactly?)

Help with the Vision-thing and subsequent line-ups etc. would also be appreciated; such as:

Which was Tony's last gig? And Tim's? And Andreas'?
Which was whammy's first gig?
Exactly when did Mike Varjak join and leave?

Thanks!

Last Gary Marx gig was definitely the Brighton Top Rank gig the 1st of April (1985), which coincidently was the last gig of the UK tour. The European tour and so on was sans Gary ...

I think Whammy first played in the Summer of 1993, alongside Bruhn(with short haircut) who stayed till the end of 1993 (Birmingham NEC being the last, I think)

On the subject of Tim Bricheno and Tony James I'm the least sure: Tim missed a great deal of the recording process of the Vision Thing album I was told and joined the Sisters live for only a brief time (during 1990, early 1991?) ... Tony James left in 1992 but when exactly I do not know :?

And he always told me it was only 'Luci' at the weekends. ;D
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

But don't forget Marx was there for the Whistle Test appearance. Filmed 2nd April (broadcast 4th April).

As for Ben Gunn, I'm told that Stockholm 26.10.83 was his last gig, the 2 date US tour (29 + 31 Oct) being played as a 3-piece.
