Ducks Patch

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 18...

Ok this week started on Sunday. I went to Clapham for Stake Conference at Church.  They are one small Stake, Only about 300 Attended. After that I decided I was going to walk back home, it was cold and wet, but I needed to clear my head.  Walked into the Carribean Market in Brixton I timed it well as it was pouring down outside.  A strange market with tropical flaours everywhere.  Then onto Camberwell before bolting through Peckham home. On Monday I felt sick so Stayed at home.  On Tuesday I went down tot he Thames. Greenpeace was in Town with speaks going so all knew they were there.   On Wednesday, I decided to go to Camden Market. This is a Market I think Jennifer would love to go to.  It was fresh and open and plenty of cloths shops.  Even the Art is good.  On the way back I found that the ceremonial lighting for the Fire Fight Memorial was being held. So I stayed.  The last P...

Saturday was upon me, and the weather looked good, Cold but no rain. (Mistake, I didn't take a picture of the two of us together) But we had agreed to me in Stratford at St Mary's at 11:00, as he was coming down by train. I arrived very early, so I went ot find St Matthews Church, This is where Pearl and Timothy got Married. I also had been told to just knock on the door to find the rector. He was there but pearl had been a regular before the wedding Timothy had not. So no new data. It is still an active Church. back to St Marys in Startford, typical Church Yard, Most of the gravestones have been removed and it turned into park. David turned up a little after me and saw someone taking pictures of what gravestones were there. He assume right it would be me. We quickly set up to find Eve road. The first street of Interest, issue we forgot to record what number. So No Pictures. Then off to Forestgate by bus to check out the church there, this is where the Harbott...

Well another week of looking for work in London This week after the search I went for a walk, along the Thames Path. then on Monday    North to St Pancras and  Kings Cross. 9 3/4 is at Kings Cross Station, where you can have a photo taken. But you have to wait for over an hour to have yours taken. and it costs. I then walked home through London. It gets dark by 16:00 now, but the lights are good. And on Tuesday.  I walked to Peckham and the church called St Giles of Camberwell.  I then went walking onto Kennington where I found an old Monument to the honoured Civilian war dead. Where I found my Grandfathers Day.  I then walked across Lambeth bridge and Vauxhall bridge. Onto the Thames path to walk home. Then On Wednesday I headed for Whitehall again. Along the Embankment to Big Ben Across to  Parliament Square and Passed Jewel Tower before heading Home. Thursday I had a job interv...
