Hi just browsing. Has anyone considered that Palmers had a massive factory/works in Jarrow and workers there were responsible for the beginings of the Jarrow March. Maybe just a coinsidence? regards carolmc

Hi and thank you for helping. Still not finding any firm conclusion of which Mary was the correct Mary.
Now thinking that there may be 2 John's married to 2 Mary's! Even the deaths are inconclusive. I will visit the graveyards at Rose Ash and Bishops Nympton. Many thanks carolmc.  TOPIC CLOSED

Hi ciderdrinker,   thank you for the info.  I'm trying to back check work I did in 2018 and 2013. Hoping to visit Rose Ash in April to revisit the church. My brickwall is John Crocker b.circa 1760 who married Mary, but Mary who? Possibley Loosemoor or Short.

John Crocker and Mary had 3 children baptised
Jane bp 1780
Elizabeth bp1783
John bp 1786-d1860   more work needed!

Out of interest also got as far as Cape Cod looking at Mayflower Crockers.  Americans extremly welcoming and opened up library for us. Finally accepted their Crockers came fro Modbury Devon. They had visited Devon Record Office!

Regards carolmc

Hi Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, nothing new except the old history of Gailey and Roberts. I'm really interested in the trains. However I have emailed Kenya Archives and offered some old photos of Gailey and Roberts circa 1951. I'll wait and see what happens.  Regards carolmc

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / KENYA Nairobi live steam model engineers 1930-1950

Does anyone know anything about a group of 'live steam model engineers' in Nairobi circa 1930-1950? My grandfather, Fred Watts built his own lathe and tools, he appeared on the front cover od Model Engineer magasine in 1944. I believe he worked for Gailey and Roberts in Nairobi. I have tried contacting Nairobi Train Museum, but no reply. Any info would be useful, many thanks Carolmc

Thank you for replying. I can only find this record. Unfortunately not all stories have any substance, so I can't take this any further. Regards carolmc.  TOPIC CLOSED
