Occupation Interests / Re: Do you have corkcutter ancestors?

Hi Maravilla, I haven't looked at this forum for quite some time - so apologies! It seems you have more info than I do .I can remember my Dad talking about his father(John William 1879-1919) and his grandfather(John James born 1851) going to Spain regularly to purchase cork and arrange for it to be shipped to London. It may well be that his father (John Henry born 1826) may have done the same. I didn't know anything about his wife Sarah going with John James nor any mention of Malaga. Where did you find this info-there may be other things about my family I haven't heard about and any help would be appreciated.
Regards from Cats
