Hi Derek,
Thank you so very much for the photo. I can't believe you have sent me a photo of my GGreat Grandad, that is FANTASTIC! I did not know Mary's maiden name, it has been a bit of a brick wall for a while now.
Here is a photo of the Bell in Silver Street Hordle that George ran. I knocked on the door some years back, and the owner invited me in, to have a look around. He showed me the kitchen area where George would have dragged barrels of beer across the stone hearth, and the semi-circular wear that the barrels created. I must admit it was a bit spooky being in the same place my GGreat Gandad had been. Please find attached a picture of the pub, as it is now. Somewhere I have a very, very old photo, but is probably archived on a disc, or the "old" machine somewhere. Also attached Thomas Kipling Jackson and Alma Collins wedding certificate.
Thanks again for the info, we must exchange more information possibly off line would be quicker.
Kind regards
Jeff
