Notes

Notes from Christine Jackson Nov 03
from Ted: Edward was General Manager of a Cartage firm in the Docks, i.e. goods from boats to shops
- he had (or looked after) four dray horses.
EJPR went to live at 18 High Street 'when the bombing started' 1940/1
- he would sit in an armchair in front of the fire in the 'front room' (this made life 'difficult' for Ted & Marjorie as 'courting had to be done behind him')
He would walk to 'The Oak' pub for lunch
dd. c.1944 - Stanstead Abbotts, Herts (i.e. about a year before Ted's wedding in 1945)
EJPR was probably buried in the old Church at Stanstead Abbotts (or Enfield Crematorium) but Ted can't remember attending a funeral - so there is a possibility EJPR was 'taken to London'
