Willsy, you're a star. I do have the marriage entry for Alfred and Mary Grace, but not the newspaper entry. That's great too!
Trove stuff great as well.
I'm sitting here trying to remember what I was trying to add to the last email and I haven't got a clue! It's totally gone. Duh!
Great to have found the Archdeacon's grave. What a shame it's in such poor condition. one would assume that being the person he obviously was, and his brother was, it would have been looked after by the church maybe. Oh well, it's still there, and tells its story!
I've written to one of his Churches, St Mary's. I had found an article re John's part in various church admin, buildings, and other interesting stuff, in one of their newsletters I had a couple of questions to ask them in connection with things that were in the article, again of course, I can't remember what they were. I think it was to do with family that the article mentioned.
it's probably the same thing I was trying to add in the last post, but again, don't want to leave this message to check or I'll lose it! Just like I'm losing the plot!
Oops. Memory bank just beginning to open - in your searching you may have seen a reference to a Community Church in the area called the Potterhouse Church? I have also written to the Pastor there to see if there is any connection with the Potters. It's not Anglican, but I did wonder if maybe the building had once belonged to the family. Or maybe it had been a pottery or whatever, Just wanted to clarify!
Thank you for all your hard work. Must have been great at Birmingham, and so interesting. Pleased that you had a nice day out!
After some pretty cold and snowy weather last week, today it's warmed up, a lovely Autumn day, not a cloud in the sky, and I think time for a tidy up spell in the garden!
You've been a great help Willsy, I was convinced you must have been in Aussie, knowing all the places to check, but then I saw your visit to Birmingham, so I guess not?
Thanks again
Jeanne 🐞
