Find Ancestors

- I've had a quick look for tailors in the Frome registration district in 1881 (although of course Rowland had left by then, and Adolphus was too young to be apprenticed). There are a lot of them and none have obvious connections, but looking in more detail might produce results (or it might not!)

I've turned back to Mary Emily, who I see is also from a tailoring family:

Hi Jessica,

He is a half-brother to Rowland, the younger full brother of Christopher, and he too went into tailoring. (I may have misspelt his name a bit?)
