To Newcastle with Bert. She is completing the lessons in dresscutting with Mrs Bostock. By coach to and from Blyth Bridge.
Mrs Bostock wants Bert to take an agency in Cheadle for dresscutting and to take 10 charts at 6 shillings each.
This blog started as my great grandad John Alcock's diary, which he wrote in Cheadle, Staffs, England in 1888. John was born in Cheadle in 1853. In 1877, he travelled to New Zealand, marrying Alberta Eccles (Bert) there in 1880. They had 3 children in New Zealand (Mary, Ethel and Ursula). They returned all together to Cheadle sometime between 1885 and 1887. Their son Walter was born in Bank Street, Cheadle, in 1887. Since completing the diary, the blog continues with all things John Alcock.
