Saturday 12th April
Another freezing cold day, but ideal if you are researching your family tree from inside of a warm car! It is very sad that two members of our recent family succumbed to the unforgiving illness of tuberculosis. Selina Proffitt (Watkins), my grand mother, who I have written about on our trip to Bilston and now Edith Wood (Curtis). She was Graham's grand-father's first wife and had two children, Richard and Edward. Graham is descended from the second wife Alice who had five further children. Edith was in service most of her life to a household in London and met her husband (William Curtis) who was in the Grenadier Guards, also in London. She was born and died in Ombersley in Worcestershire.
