Hello all, I know it's been a while since this thread was created, but I wonder if anyone can assist. I am the great great grandson of George and Sophia Poole and wondered if there were any photographs of George still out there. I have several of Sophia and even the bill for her funeral, but only one photograph of George, a blurry image of him at the back of Archie and Florence's wedding (my great grandparents). Despite the blurriness, I can see a flower between his teeth. I am told this was not unusual and he rode round Ashleworth on a red tricycle in latter years. He was a soldier in the Boer War and the First World War. I would love to see a better picture of him and would like very much to talk with anyone who has any stories about him. Kind regards, Daniel

George and Sophia Poole don't have a stone, they're buried somewhere towards the back of the cemetery at Ashleworth.

I am still hoping to get in touch with olgit if anyone can assist, I'd be so grateful.

Kind regards,

Daniel

Here is Harry and Elsie Poole's grave stobe at Ashleworth cemetery which I visited on the 18th October 2025.

My great grandfather George Archie Poole (1901-89) and my great grandmother Florence May Poole nee' Taylor (1895-1977) are buried next to the front gate, just as you come in on the left. They have no stones. They're buried next to my great uncle Verdun Raymond Taylor (1916-1959).

Hi Daniel

This research was started for my sister in laws father back in 2012 for his birthday. I have a feeling he married a HYETT, thought can't be sure without looking. I made a book for him which will have a descendant report in it. I'm not sure if I still have the book, though will get someone to look for you.

If you private message me then we can exchange emails.

Thank you! I have sent a PM.

In my last post I should have typed George Archie Poole (1901-1990), he died aged 89, 35 years ago today.
