Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Bridlington Filecutter
« on: Thursday 24 February 05 01:35 GMT (UK)  »
My g.g. Uncle Frank has confused me completely. Large as life in Bridlington on the 1851, time served as a filecutter and living in lodgings in Sheffield on the 1861  and here's the thing,  filecutting in Bridlington in 1871. 

Now I know about filecutting, if he was cutting somebody was forging them in the first place. Has anybody seen a file forger in Bridlington? Was anybody else filecutting in Bridlington?  Was he bringing them in from somewhere else?

Filecutting in Bridlington sounds rather like having a fishing boat in Sheffield.

Either way he'd packed it in to be barman by 1881 but I'm mighty curious about it.

The Lighter Side / A Sheffield Wife
« on: Monday 07 February 05 18:41 GMT (UK)  »

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had  given their new wives duties. 

The first man had married
a woman from Albania, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning thatneeded done at their house. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Korea. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes,and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't  see any results, but the next day it was better. By the  third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.>

The third man had married
a girl from Sheffield. He boasted that he told her that her
duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the  second day he didn't see  anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye

The elusive Francis (Frank)  Brown strikes again

Frank married Mary Jane Bunning in Bridlington 1870

Frank or Francis born 1841  usually a barman

Mary Jane born Stamford, Lincs.

Eldest child born 1873 at Sewerby according to the 1891 but baptised Bridlington Quay
so could possibly be in Sewerby.

Solve this problem so I can sleep at night  PLEASE!!!!!
