    Samuel Garbett

    A bit of a mystery also is Reeve Carter married to my Gt Aunt Ivy, I've found their marriage in 1929 i think but no one has ever heard of him and i can't find a death.

    Warstone Lane Cemetery

    Considering all the cut backs etc the grass cutting in Warstone Lane has improved greatly and looks a lot tidier than it used to in the not too distant past:biggrin:.
