Actually I then took the time to do some more reading. I then looked at
the UUID as given for /dev/sda3 in the /etc/fstab which was
UUID=53682bbd-4fcd-4d8c-81a6-7da4e9dc3ece. Then I did a "blkid"  to list
block devices and got this: UUID="81c37411-73dc-470b-a908-291e03841c94" 
for /dev/sda3. Completely different as you can see. Mystifying as  to
when it was changed again. Will be just a cut and paste job to set it
right.

Many thanks to all who responded and set me on the right path to fix
this problem.
