I feel so sorry for my female ancestry. How many children did they have 10-15 only to lose some. My grandmother ran public houses, Bakery and cooked and delivered dinners for 6d all in one day in Stowmarket Suffolk helped by her eldest child ( my Mum) at a tender age. Had two husbands who drank the profits away. First one my mum's dad fell down the stairs and broke his neck in a blind drunken state, we here? I had a operation for Prostate in 1960 ill for 2 months afterwards, now out next day and laid up for a few days. I have found almost every farm my family worked in Kent mostly built on, except Oast houses refurbished and original cottages GRADED still there at Kitchenham Farm Bodiam still as it was and it seems strange to walk up the farm path by zooming in where my family lived on maps.google.com. Purchased for £2800 by my Great Great Grandfather with future in-laws. Left to my Grandfather who sold it. All buildings, acreage to his brother for £1800. The oast house is refurbished and Zoopla suggest's the Oast house alone is worth £792.000. What about today no work and the senseless loss of live in Afgan and many other places and the troubles, now London??
