Hi I have found James Callow living at 13 Love Lane, New Windsor on the 1881 census serving as a private in the Grenadier Guards. However on his wedding certificate for June 1881, he and his wife are listed as living in the Infantry Hospital???? Not sure why this would be the case :confused:

Janice... thank you so much for finding that. I don't know how you did it in such a short time. It took me ages to find the record for Catherine. On it Catherine mentions she is separated. Can't find James anywhere. So seems really odd for the 3 lots of addresses in the rates book. Unless...

Your right Janice. Just realised the rates were payable to J. Matthew and son for William Price. He also has a son by the name of James Charles Callow who lived in Heaton Street.

I guess I didn't really think about him owning them. He was born in 1856 served 12 years in the Berkshire Grenadier Guards. He his married to Catherine Callow. Has 11 children. Was a painter and paperhanger and then I can't find him on 1911 census. Seem to have his a brick wall.

Hi I have found James Callow living at 2 court 16 Great Hampton Street. But next to his name is +7 Kenyon Terrace, Kenyon Street and +12 Court 16 Great Hampton Street. Although he has lived at the first address he doesn't appear at the other two address. Would anyone know why he could be...

There was a saying as children when we got frozen clothes in off the washing line.... as stiff as yer father. I never really knew what it meant. Hope it wasn't rude as I think it might be now!!!

Has anyone heard of 'that's a weight off my spine'?

Oh the hole job must have been awful!!!! Thanks Viv.

Not sure if you know about these newspaper articles:

Thanks ever so much. Really appreciate all your help. :)

I thought it might be that but wasn't sure as the last letters look like ancen to me aswell. Didn't know if there were other occupations. He becomes a Carter in 1881 so perhaps he got fed up of the job :mask:

Ariel, the name of the bike, was manufactured in Birmingham and used as a military vehicle by the RAF. The chap at the front of the bike looks like he has a bag or something across his shoulder. Could he be some sort of a despatch rider?

The badge reminds me of RAF insignia.

This is really fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! It really brings to life what the real view is of life behind just names of streets. Thanks so much for the hard work put into this :) it's really appreciated.

That's fantastic, thank you

Thanks for your reply Janice :)
