Astoness- I have just googled the Manor House an arrived at this thread. I don't know how far you are with this, but looking at the date of the thread quite away I should think. It appears that Thomas was my gggg grandfather on my mothers side via his son Henry (b1841) his son Thomas (b1864) and his son Thomas Henry (b1893) my grandfather. The Bus and Cab business seems to me a family thing, as my great grandfather Thomas drove for the Midland Red. I'm still researching this and assimilating the information here, having only started last week, so I have a way to go . Regards, Rob
