Sorry Hugh, what's Walkley? Is that the protestant side of Rivelin Valley Cemetery?
My goodness all those little girls were Austin and Ellen's daughters? I never knew. Edith was the twin of my dad's great Aunt, Blanche. They were born in Holborn in London.
Agnes was born Ecclesall Bierlow1876, There was also a Clara Eveleen BINI she died aged 5-years, I'm not sure who's daughter she was. Austin had an elder brother, Angelo George b.1844 in Wolverhampton (again many misspellings of his name inc. Angels and Angela BINN)
Teresa and Agnes appear to have died together. How tragic. My children are so precious it makes me wonder what those poor parents went through.
Do you know what "non-conformists) means? Austin and Ellen were married in a Catholic Chapel in Nottingham. I wonder what could've made them fall out with their church? Mind you I imagine losing so many children would shake your faith somewhat.
Thank you again.

Just got your next post. How on earth do you find all this stuff? It's beyond my expectations!!!
Frederick is my G-grandad. I have his medals and photo's of him from the Boer War and WW1.
Do you know what a "car conducter" is (is it waving a red flag in front of car)? My grandad (Fred's son) always said he was born in Norton.
I've never found a record of Austin's death (mind you after what you've found in such a relatively short time - no surprises there
). I've never found a record of Fred's death either. We know the family lived at Shireoaks and dad and I have walked around the cemetry there and found nothing for him or his wife Florence Charlotte BINI (nee BINGHAM).
I couldn't find anything for Fred on the 1901 census (when I had 3-free days last month) Maybe he was away fighting in S.Africa?
So now we know Austin was still alive in 1911 and I know Fred was still alive in 1927 because my G.Uncle met him and Florence then when he began courting my G-Aunt, buit that's it.
Re; Austin what does the (J) mean and what's a journeyman?
Thanks lots.
