That was fun,

and for those who think I have gone of my usual line, i.e pubs 

at one time not to long ago , Five mile house was a pub 

What's next

They are fantastic pictures Eilleen, thank you. I'm surprised how well preserved the gravestones are, really an absolutely great find   Ellen's especially is lovely, if that's the right word for a gravestone?

It made me quite sad looking at it though, as I'm new to FH it sometimes seems like these people are just dates and place and with the memorial mentioning her as a "kind wife and mother" it hits home. I suppose like many family historians I want to find out as much as possible about the people before me.

Thanks again, I'll go before I get too emotional

Filiem,

Like you say, it's when they become something more than names and dates on paper,

When I walking  to the barn and house from the graves ,
 I was acutely aware ,that I was most properly walking where your ancestors had trod.
and as the wind blew warm about me, I felt privileged to be there.

so in a funny sort of way, thankyou for sending me 

Eilleen,

not too long ago , Five Mile House was a pub 

It was also a railway station, named no doubt after the pub.

Sorry to rattle on about the Peacocks,   but I cannot get them of my mind.

I think    and I have been known to be wrong  

Henry Peacock born 1802 , York, Hull. wool dealer,

married Ann Yates born 27th Nov 1808 Fiskerton.   they married 28th Aug 1827 in Fiskerton.
they  had  children Charlotte, Henry, and  John .
she Ann died on July 22nd 1838,  ( her grave in church yard pic )
Henry then married Ellen , from Newball, Lincolnshire , but I don't know when ?
on 1841 census , she is called Ealoner not Ellen,
their daughter of 4 mths is called Eleanor,  but in Dec qrt  1840 ,Lincoln births  she is Ellen.

does this seem right, or do I need to find a hobbie

23 Jan 1840 at Fiskerton
Henry PEACOCK (son of Henry) to Eleanor BROWN (dau of George)

I'm assuming Five Mile House was/is where it says Ferry Road.  If you go down the lane to the south, there is the Witham and a drain running parallel.  The railway was on the narrow strip of land between them.  You can follow it all the way back to Lincoln, behind Titanic Works and on to the junction with the old Grantham line near Great Northern Terrace.  To the east, you can follow it to Bardney and on to Kirkstead where on Sundays there would be a trainload of Sheffielders come for a fishing match.  Or did I imagine that?
