Hi,
I wonder if Blanche Piercey was a member of the family who had the Wagon and Horses at Pinkneys Green?  Not sure of dates but there was quite a family of Pierceys who were publicans in and around Maidenhead.

Thanks Rod
   I live in Canada but next time I visit Maidenhead I`ll know where the old shop was located.
The family lived at 3 St Ives Rd ,Maidenhead,and I remember a Family reunion there in 1961.
Alfred Walter Bennett.The middle name Walter was for his Grandfather Walter Hancock 1799-1852
who was a steam carriage Pioneer inventor in West Ham, Stratford ,London.
