Thanks for the reply,
George Lewis 1839-1925 was 86yrs. at burial, at St Mary,s Church, Bramford. 29th. Jun 1925. (There is a tombstone in the churchyard) He worked at Bramford Hall estate for 66yrs. He served in the Suffolk Reg. and landed at the Crimea in 1855. He had the honour to act as coach-man to Florence Nightingale in the Crimea.
He was odd-job man to Lady Loraine in his later years, but had been Gamekeeper to Col.Scott & Lord Kitchener.
Mary Ann his daughter, had a family name of "Pollie" and wrote an Obituary to her father George.
The archives of local newspapers may have articles re his funeral, a mourners list would be very useful.
As I do not live locally, unfortunately I dont have access to the local records.
