Hi all
I know my great great grandparents had a Live Bait shop for about 10 years, up until about 1905 I believe, at 1 (or 1a) Key Hill. It was registered under Thomas Kimberley but it seems as though his wife Mary Ann worked in the shop.
I have found listings, but I'm wondering where to look for pictures?
There is also a family rumour that Thomas (apparently an alcoholic who liked to beat his wife) killed Mary by pushing her where upon she hit her head and died :shock:. It is said it was recorded as accidental death but that their sons took their own form of punishment on their father. I'm going to send for her death certificate see if I can shed any light on this. Frustratingly I can't find a record of their marriage.
Anyhow, if anyone knows where I can find pictures of Key Hill from that period I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Sarah
