Well Saturday came so off I went to West Ham cemetery to find more Etherton ancestors.
I got there at 10am and started with Alice and John Gunn (GGrandfather and mother). It was nice sunny day but cold and never got over 3 degrees.
West Ham cemetery has 180,000+ people buried in its 22 acres but there are only 16,000 graves where 60% is now bare ground with no markings and 30% of the stone you can't read. So David Harbott did very well in finding Alice and John's grave out of all of this.
Charlotte and Alfred Gunn although they look related I have not found the proof for this link yet.
The rest of these images are the Harbott line. Starting with Mary Pannifer Harbott (Gunn).
This is all that remains of the possibility of George Robert Etherton but I was unable to turn the stone over to read. This was going to cost money.
This is the Tower of All Hallows Staining where George Robert Etherton and Mildred Wood got married in 1858. The tower is all that remains for the church.
I am now getting to know London well enough that I don't need a map and recognise land marks like Saint Paul's at the end of Cannon Street.
