I have a gt grandfather who worked at The Kremlin and whose address in 1891 was Kremlin Paddocks .... this was the Kremlin, Newmarket though - he was head gardener to Prince Soltykoff, a Russian race horse owner. |

I don't know the gestation period of a sheep or a cow, but I do know that of a pig: 115 days, or three months, three weeks and three days. And I've never tried slaughtering anything because I'm a vegetarian. |

I have been reading this thread with great enjoyment. I too have ag labs galore, so imagine my joy when tracing one of them through the various censuses, he ends up as a farmer of 63 acres. Now that put a tear in my eye Otherwise, chimney sweeps fitters in works, miners, cloggers... but my favourite has to be the twister in a mill |

Haven't linked him in yet, but I am pretty sure of a connection: Nathaniel Jesson, Sea captain, whose widow and parents were awarded a gratuity of £500 in 1654 for his part in capturing a Dutch ship in Virginia USA in the First Anglo-Dutch Wars. |

My favourite one of mine was a brewery drayman. Apparently his horse took fright one day and reared up, tipping him and his barrels into the local pond. One of the barrels clopped him on the head and he drowned in that same pond. Why that amuses me i dont know, quite sad really. Another was Carter , how he actually met his death is unknown but his horse and cart came home without him! No, I dont ride..... Jess x |
