Great grandfathers! I never knew any of mine, indeed only one of my grandfathers was still alive when I was born. But have the joy now of seeing my own Dad live long enough to already have seen 3 great grandchildren.
Thomas Henry EDMONDS 1859-1926
William GREEN 1844 - 1920's
Joseph TINKER
George WICKENDEN
I have only researched the EDMONDS line - in a lot of detail (!).We keep saying "when it is finished we will start on the Greens" (that was about 20 years ago)- but you know what Family History is like - it is NEVER finished!
Enjoyed every minute of it though.
