Thanks Gloria, there are no end of surprises with this family.
Ben must have been 19/20 when he appears to have opened his version of 1900 McDonalds. We all thought he came home from the Boer War and worked in the mill till he married.
The talent for cooking and baking ( which is in the genes of all female decendants to the present
) seems to have been in the male line as well.
Had his head screwed on the right way as well with so many mills and workers needing their 'dinner' midday.
Older brother would have to earn his keep helping as he was residing up there while the banns for his wedding were read.
Looking forward to passing this gem of news to the male decendants around the world
Maybe I can put the lot 'to bed'? but never say never will I come up with them again.
