Mind you I discovered C M is buried with Isabella and John Thomas Early my gran trying to save money, I'm surprised she didnt invest in lime pit

George Josling my mum’s cousin married Iris Alban, I think that the spelling is right, she may have been born in Arlesey, Bedfordshire - I don’t feel that I should say more because they might not like it if I do

The house in St Albans was well posh, George was well ansome,and a turf accountant by trade. Houses sell for 3 million plus in Marchall drive these days.His desendents are very good looking

died 8 JUL 1946, Chalkdell Hospital, Hitchin, Herts^CERT, age 63 [died of cardiac failure, pulmonary tuberculosis]

· Amelia Edith Harding always called him her father, but put herself down as step-daughter on his death certificate^FAM

· a family source says Edith Ann lived in Deptford, Kent (1919), and Hitchin, Herts

· she was already in the 1924 telephone directory as “Newsagent, Dining Room” at 2 different addresses in Hitchin, Herts, only a year after her husband died

· her granddaughter says: Edith Ann and her daughter ran a successful wholesale newsagents business together, in Hitchin Hertfordshire, known as EA and AE Harding, and were joined in the business by Amelia Edith’s husband, John James Thompson, son of a Northumberland coal miner, after WW2, when he returned from active service as a corporal - the business carried on for 60 or more years altogether, and was later managed by John James, who died 18 DEC 1984, age 76 - Edith Ann had a good business brain – she owned a lot of property and would rent it out to friends and relations – she also employed her friends and relations, to share in her success - one good friend was our cook, house keeper, and nanny to my sister and me: Florence Elizabeth Green [nanny] considered us to be her family, she stayed with us until her death, and is buried with Edith Ann and Amelia Edith in Hitchin Cemetery – I am named Jane after my Father’s Mother, and Elizabeth after nanny

· a newspaper article following her death said the business was originally started by her brother (but it doesn’t say which one) during WW1, and she took it over shortly afterwards – of her 2 brothers, one survived her, but the other one, George Miller Evans, who a family source says lived in Hitchen, died in 1919, so perhaps he started the business

a family source says William Harding lived in Camberwell, Surrey – his granddaughter says had developed mental illness after WW1 - at the time of his passing, his home address was that of his sister, Susan Kate Harding, 27 Calmington Road, Camberwell, Surrey - nothing more is known about him

nothing more is known about George William Early
