John Raymond Wood, aged 12, was Ethereal  ;D

Sadly, I can only find two of the three Wise Men, one in London and one in Staffordshire.

5 men were Supernatural, and 2 in London were Demolished.  ;D

Apparently - even though we all seem to suffer from not being able to find our elusive ancestors there was only one of them who really was "invisible"

...........Ada Woodhouse aged 35 of Camberwell.......

A pardoner is a very ancient calling....

There is the Pardoners Tale in the Canterbury Tales...

Should have said that the "indulgences" sold were religious ones for "sins"...
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
