Dear Tom

Thanks for the info.  So our common ancestor is even further back by one generation and from East Leake.  Two sons of Hugh Grundy (Joseph's nephew) moved to Sheffield in the mid 1800's when my G G Grandfather moved to Lincoln.  This was of course a time when very many people were moving off the land to go and work in industry.

Regards
Barry

Dear Trish

It is often the case that ages and DoBs get mixed up.  The Grundys did seem to, by and large enjoy longevity.  Johns son, buried in the adjacent village of North Carlton was 80 when he died.

John Grundy does not appear to be buried with his wife Mary Ann who died the year before him, there is no inscription on the tombstone except for her.  It is possible that here was no money left to afford it but his son (Hugh) and the family seem to have been covered by a temperance society insurance policy.  They have a prominent plot in the churchyard not far from the Lychgate and church door in North Carlton church.

The house they lived in in NC is still there, just outside the village.

What is quite remarkable is that although they appear to have been only farm labourers and cottagers they lived to ripe old ages.    I am going tomorrow to look at some probate records.  This should indicate the financial position they were in.

The next generation after Hugh see to have left the land to go and work in the rapidly industrialising cities.  My great, great grandfather came to Lincoln to work in the ironworks. Two of the pubs he lodged in are still here.  One of them is called the Inly Tavern and his granddaughter, my grand mother was called Ivy.

Regards
