I've traced one particular branch of my family back to the mid to late 1700s and found that we are all descended from two brothers who by trade were masons. I think they actually built the brick wall.

Well done.Viktoria.

NO! NO! NO!
Oh dear, you misunderstood me - I meant little, you know, SMALL! = Wee! A small hole = a wee hole!! For Martin to time travel backward! Blame my Scottish Ancestry for that ;D ;D ;D

Oh dear, you got me all wrong, I meant little, you know, SMALL! = Wee! A small hole = a wee hole!! ;D ;D ;D
Don't worry, we knew what you meant. We just have a slightly warped sense of humour ;D ;D

Demarcation issue - your masons should have built a stone wall and left the brick work to the bricklayers. My brickie grandad wouldn't have stood for that :o :D

Couple of people here, extracting the urine.

Carol is correct,masons stone and bricklayers brick.
I think I must be psychic---I somehow knew someone would extract the Michael along with other things : ::):)Viktoria.

Interestingly, I have quite a few brick-makers and bricklayers in my tree. One in particular, emigrated to the US, became an architect and is famous for designing a number of appartment buildings in Washington DC. When he'd finished with that he became an artist and even has one of his painings in the Smithsonian. I've had few brick walls researching him!
