• 1861/1871, at home in Frindsbury, assisting his father, the barge owner. In 1871, like his brother, he is styled "gentleman": his sisters are each referred to as 'lady', which is unusual. It looks as though his father is proud that his children do not need to work.

• Norfolk does not feature often in our story. In 1893, Great Yarmouth had its first 'Bass Excursion': 8000-9000 brewery employers from Burton visited for their summer break. I don't have any photos of Yarmouth yet, but I do - here - of Burton, including the old Bass brewery. A few years earlier, in 1845, macabre disaster had struck when 79 children died watching a clown being pulled down the river in a barrel, by geese.

He's back in 1901, and they have retired (civil engineer) to 33 Lullington Road, Penge, very close to the Knight family, and a five minute walk from the nearest entrance to Crystal Palace Park. No. 37 in 1911; they keep a servant.
