I have Cyril's family tree and Alice's. It would seem that I am going to have to add on a lot more children in order to connect them.

Lincolnshire / Pocklington Family
« on: Thursday 26 September 13 14:23 BST (UK) »
My great grandmother was Alice Rebecca Pocklington. I'm told she was connected to the famous baking family yet I cannot find any links even though she was from Louth.
Can anyone help? She was born 1889 and died in Louth in 1953.
I'm related to the other famous bakers the Myers but have at long last found the link!

It was the ol railway bridge, which was also referred to as Bainbridges Bridge due to the advertising hoarding on it when there was a shop of the same name in the city.

My mothers Chantry's are Lincolnshire going back to 1885, however I do know that there are Chantry's further afield. Indeed a few years ago my grandmother was contacted by a gentleman selling a book on Chantry's, but sadly she didn't purchase one.

I'm currently reading a book on Alford and cemetery Lane is now called Seymour Lane. It's between Finsbury Lane and Farlesthorpe Road.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to have to see either his birth certificate or ask around family as its his Dads name I need.
Stainton history is very hit and miss.

Thanks for that! 1986 sounds more likely for his death.
