Thanks to friends who know more about Genealogy than me, I now find that my Great Great Grandad had a large Grocers Shop in Islington London. So Big in fact, that 5 staff lived at the property as well as his wife and 2 sons. They then moved to Great Yarmouth where they had 3 more children (including my Grandad) and opened a confectioners.
I am hooked now on finding the rest of my family tree, but my partner is pigged off that my ancestors actually had servants.
I told her, she only has to bow when I first see her.
My black eye is healing nicely.
I think people believe Undertakers are well paid because of the horrendous cost of funerals
I can assure you that this is not the case and most earn between £7 to £8 an hour (at least that's what I have been told??) It is therefore extremely rare that we get a tip?
That was until today. A very kind Gentleman gave each of us a note and it brightened every ones day.
I might buy some fresh food with it.
