Hi Manchester Rambler
Sorry for the late reply!!
i really appreciate those look ups it was really good of you thanks so much thats another part of the family research sorted!
 Cant imagine why George would of wanted to stop being a Publican and become a Lime burner ive googled the occupation and by all accounts it looks a bit of a bad old job,
 thanks again
  kindest regards
