The Common Room / Re: George WALKER - Wymeswold
« on: Tuesday 06 February 24 14:03 GMT (UK) »
Just have an old photo/picture of George Walker born in the 1800's, which was given to us by my hubby's mother, Winifred Taylor nee Mabbott, born 18th May 1908 at 6 Glossop Terrace Meadows, Nottingham and passed away aged 89 in November 1997 - she told us to take care of it as he was a special relative of her mothers......(Sophia Getrude Mabbott nee Firman)....My hubby and I are both in our late 70's now and would like the photo to be given to someone who would appreciate it and maybe find a relative, instead of it being sent to the tip after we pass away....
......We have been in touch with the Wymeswold Parish Church, they will be taking it from us and wanted to know if we had any history of him.......We believe he ran a Butcher's shop in Wymeswold with his wife at some time and I am trying to find out any information I can get..........thankyou for your prompt reply
