That would have been the early 60s. Her name was Wignall. I don’t know what number it was but there was a kind of courtyard with a stone archway next to the house. I think she owned the house at the other side of the courtyard too.

I had heard that John was from Hamburg and he was known as John the German. On his marriage certificate to Susannah there is no mention of his father. Susannah lived with her sister Mary Hodgson and inherited the pub and several houses from her.Lynn E Rawlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058274836042635903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311128835825518076.post-57305522756108199382016-06-22T22:00:51.075+01:002016-06-22T22:00:51.075+01:00I think they were mine too.. my grandmother was ca...I think they were mine too.. my grandmother was called Susan also..
