Post by BrritSkiThanks John. Were any of the Surrey 3 in or near Guildford and is there
an address on the census please ?
I'd like to confirm the Coaching Inn theory. My Grandfather remembered
living in a big house with stables and footmen, but it was later claimed
that this was the Inn and the footmen were just general servants so it
would be interesting to know one way or the other.
Grandfather's name was Horace, but he would not have been alive in 1842
as I guess he was born 40 or 50 years later. Dad (Ronald George) was
born in 1922 in Coventry...
