The Martins, Bossington Lane, Linslade

William is a confectioner and tobacconist on marriage.  Some shopkeepers seem to accumulate a lot of money, perhaps it was a knock-down price, or the seller just wanted anyone to take it off his hands.

Some do. My uncle and aunt did pretty well after starting with one shop in Linslade by the bridge

Hi I am related to William Brookes. I know the margins was used during the war to house a lot of the family children evacuated from Battersea (where bill was from) during the war.
