Ray,
Great summary of Barron/ Crozier history over the past 150 years! 

I know Peter Hession was also investigating the family tree, I wondered whether he has come to the same conclusions?

Is there a George Barron marriage certificate available, my father was asking if a copy exists?

Thanks again, Greg.

p.s. have we any idea how Arthur Alexander Crozier senior managed to squander the equivalent of  350K + the capital in 33 properties?  My mother said he only eat Dover Sole for dinner which indicates a slightly extravagant if not eccentric diet.  Jack, Fly's son, once said to my father when he asked about their dad, that it was best he didn't know!

John,
I was only looking today at my Great Grandfather's will and wondering how he was industrious enough to bequeath the 33 properties in Islington to my Grandfather.  So I googled him and found this link. 

My father, also an Arthur Alexander turned 90 this year and because his father died when he was 6 (in 1935) he's only had second hand knowledge from the older of his 7 (that we know about) now deceased siblings about their dad.

My father has already handed down to me the title of the grave of John Lancelot Crozier which he bought in 1869 to bury the first of the other three daughters buried at Kensal Green cemetery with him.

Any questions about our side of the family I'm happy to answer, if I can; my Grandmother is the first cousin of Fly, as she was known, the musical 'star' (Arthur Alexander Crozier senior's first wife) who I met when a boy as they (strangely) lived in the same family house in Croxted Road, Herne Hill, South East London.

I've failed to attach the Proof of Purchase of the grave which has some intrinsic value as the cemetery recently raised the ground by 6 foot giving us a further two graves which are very sought after!

Greg.
