whato ronnie
well what can i say but your an absolute star thats the first positive proof that a mahetabel murrell exists outside of the birth cert i,ve seen i,m that chuffed i nearly was going to say i wouldn,t wind you up again  ( but i,m not that chuffed    ) no seriously that is ground breaking news for me , i,m looking at the moment at the 1841 cen record of one thomas went and mahetabel went ( murrell ) and there son thomas whos7 months old it,s his  birth cert i,ve got with her maiden name on this is the marriage i asked you about thomas went - mahetabel murrell
i never think of that church as anything else than the nat history museum let alone all saints ,all saints to me is at shrub end , that bpt date fits quite well only on this 1841 cen thomas is down as being born 1816but his age is down as 5 yrs older than met but as we know how notorious the 41 cen is for inaccuracies and the other cens i,ve got her on are of a closer age i want it to be her the times i,ve been in that place and she was bpt there all those years before , i,m getting carried away now must step back and slow down .

truly ronnie i can,t thank you enough for this

hi ian

ps sorry again for hi jacking your post

[t mo]

and Ronnie
as to the pink basin as you go down schergate steps it was on the bottom right hand side right on the corner , the last time i was round that way years ago it was a hairdressing salon .
also the other cafe if you mean the one that was in east st opposite the junction with Ipswich rd i don,t remember what it was called and i went passed it every day to school !( east ward in case your wondering ) i, ll have to ask my brother he,s 9 yrs older than me and him and his mates used it regularly , i was only allowed to go with him under sufferance but usually one of the boys bought me a coke and i,d try and coerce them into playing my favs on the juke box oh those days little richard buddy holly and the killer, jerry lee lewis on that juke box what a line up well worth 3pence of anyones money. 
 speak soon
