Narrative

I also know he [James Smith] lived with Great Uncle Bill in the latter stages of his life they lived in a cottage [2 Myrtle Cottage] just down from the pub in Frimley Green [The Rose and Thistle, Sturt Road]. - (from Daphne Munro nee Wade Jan 2010) - Book 1a / E-mails / 10 / page 2a

James Smith used to live with his son Bill & wife Margery they had a son called Peter, not sure where they lived then but when I knew them they lived in a cottage down from the Pub on the corner at Frimley Green and James was dead.

I'm led to believe he [James Smith] died a year or two before Granny.I'm also led to believe James was a jolly man. So Charlotte and James had 4 or if Louisa was James Smiths child they had 5 children It would be great to find out who the Father was.

I remember seeing Henry George Smith on a number of a occasions sitting on a bench at Frimley Green he had one leg. - (from Daphne Munro nee Wade) by E-mail 04.09.2011 - Book 6a / 10 / page.3
