Hi Cheryle,
Thank you so much for finding "old John". He must have had a tough life to have carried on working so long. I wonder when he died and what happened to his son George?
I now have him on every census - which is good news.
Thanks again,
Inchworm

That would be great. Not sure if they had headstones as they were not well off people. Would appreciate pics. if you do find any.
Best regards,

Hi Alison,
Thank you very much for looking. I find it quite relaxing looking around graveyards on a nice sunny day. Can't think why your work mates found it so amusing.

Have loved looking round graveyards in fact am a volunteer for the British War-
graves society so have spent many a happy hour looking for wargraves around this area.I stumbled on a new 1 yesterday so have to get all the details
at a later date & photograph it for their site
Great fun I love it!
