I'm still here, and still making discoveries.
Before, I was wondering why Grandfather William made the trip from Pembroke Dock to Reading. Since seeing one of the census returns, I find he didn't go straight to Reading, but ended up in Basingstoke with Grandmother Harriet and a couple of their kids ... shush, don't tell anyone they lied when they said they were married.
So why did he go from Pembroke Dock to Basingstoke? I know he worked for Burberrys, he did, mother did, I did, and anyone who stitches those khaki trench coats has my sympathy. That problem is now solved. Burberrys first opened in Basingstoke, a magnet for tailors.
But if that is so, I now have a new problem, what the what was Gran Harriet doing in Basingstoke?
One thing about Family History, you never finish finding out things and being surprised.
Hope you have as much fun and learn as much on here as I have Jonosue
