  I have just found out about this site from Avril so many thanks
My name is John Church and my grandfather was Albert Basset Church, son of John Church and Elizabeth Burton. John was a tailor and Albert was shown as a tailor in one census. I think about1881 however he left Easton with a cousin and went to Oxford where he learnt hairdressing and wigmaking which was to become his trade for life with a short period when he was a publican. He was quite a colourful character and as my research has discovered not a particularly nice man I'm really sad to say. Albert died in 1936 the day after the king so I never got to meet him or my Grandmother Emmiline Edith Mary nee Grimson. I have been to Easton briefly and found a grave marked as Elizabeth Burton but if she was the same Elizabeth I'm sure the grave would be marked Elizabeth Church wife of John Church
