I have

Benjamin Holland born c 1851 South Petherton
married to:
Eliza Ostler born c 1850 Yeovil
child
Benjamin born c 1870 Yeovil.

I found them on the 1871 census living with the rest of the Ostlers.
After that I cannot find any trace apart from this:

Looks very much like Eliza taught Benjamin how to be a grocer?

Mrs B

It would make a change from the Ostler's professions of glove makers...lol

I think you misread glover for grocer!

Sue

I 1st thought it said 'Glover'....but as you now know, it's Grocer.... isnt it?!!!!


Have just seen a 'glove cutter' next door!....Oh! I give up! lol

Will stick with my key/lock smith makers!

lol

No they were all glovers, the Ostlers were keeping it in the family. Daughters were glove sewers, the older Ostlers were finishers.

I only am certain of this because I have loads of them and they all entered the factory. They also managed to live in the same streets at various times!

Sue

PS How is you headache now? the same as mine probably....thumping!

Sue

My heaache was fine.....untill now! lol

You know what you can do with your glover/grocers dont you? lol
