Out all day, collecting brewery accounts and forwarding balance sheet.
Evening - Office, letter writing.
Mr Allman brought sewing machine to Walton Villa for Mona (sister).
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.
Congratulations, Robert - a whole year of entries! It's been really interesting to read. Hope there's more!
ReplyDeleteHi Di,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. Unfortunately, there is not much more. I was hoping that there would be more feedback from the diary but there wasn't much. Maybe in future years people will find the diary and some new information might turn up.
In the new year, I will write what I know of what happened to John in the years after 1888.
Merry Christmas!
Rob.
