THURSDAY 25th OCTOBER 1888

Sale of effects of late Joseph Burndred (Bumdred?), Kingsley Holt. Had dinner and tea at Mrs Sweetnam's, Bert and May (eldest daughter) went with me.

Very tired.

    The Joseph Burndred mentioned here is (I'm pretty sure), this one from the 1881 Census, living at Kingsley Holt with his widowed mother:-
    Hannah BURNDRED Head W Female 75 Kingsley, Stafford, England Farmer Of 2 1/2 Acres
    Joseph BURNDRED Son U Male 36 Kingsley, Stafford, England Iron Miner

    Thanks for the comment Hazel.

    I have noticed that in those days when someone died, they would sell off all their furniture. That seems a strange idea now.
