Well done - I couldnt see them ! was there some sort of huge age discrepancy ?


Oh right I see the 'discrepancy' and in fact why my search was fruitless based on PoBs

Hello debbieg

Thanks for that info, i always feel sad when i read those burials of such young babies 

maybe John fought in the Boer war? those dates would fit.
Thanks everyone for all your help

Hi

My first posting, intw fact my first time searching here too .... I already have same info as this is our family. Any chance of putting us in touch with who you were helping re the Garners?

Btw, John Garner b 1852 in Brettenham, was living with Jane in 1891 at The Plough in Abingdon. In 1901, after John died, Jane lived at W.St Helens St and took in lodgers - including Martha Gerring and Harold ??

Robert Garner b 1887 at Cowley Barracks, served as a sergeant in the RAF in WW1. Lived with Emily (nee Humphries) at Edward St.

I have a fair amount of info re the Suffolk history, centred in Monks Eleigh, Nedging and Brettenham. Did you get any further than your last posting?

Hope to hear back from you, thanks.
