    "Just to add a few more points to Robert. He married Mary on the 9th August 1897 at All Saints Parish Church in Blackburn, and her sister Sarah Ann Talbot and Alexander Johnson were the witnesses to that marriage. Robert was 23 and Mary was 20. According to the Marriage Certificate Robert's profession was put as an 'Agent' of what I have no idea!, and his father John was a Shoemaker. Mary's profession was as a 'Warper' and her father Thomas Talbot was a Spinner. I have Mary's birth down as 1877 and she died on the 24th December 1958. Both Robert and Mary died in Blackpool and they are buried together in a local cemetry which I went to put some flowers on when I was down there 2 weeks ago.

    So far as my Grandad is concerned, he was born Henry Atkinson on the 31st March 1901 to his father William Atkinson and his mother Margaret (Nee Cragg) in Blackpool. He married my Grandmother Elsie Johnson on the 14th May 1923 at the Parish Church, South Shore, Blackpool, when my Grandad was 22 and my Grandmother was 18. The witnesses to their marriage were Samuel Atkinson (who is Henry's brother - I think) and one of her sisters Ada Johnson. Curiously at this point in Robert's life he was now a Window Cleaner. He does seem to have had quite a few different jobs over his life time, since on his Death Certificate in 1950 his occupation was put down as a retired brewery representative, I think he was a commercial traveller for a local brewery in the Blackpool area. From some of the tales my Grandma used to tell me about Robert, I think this job would have suited him! My Grandfather Henry died on the 26th August 1975 in Blackpool and my Grandmother Elsie was born on the 16th July 1904 in Great Harwood, Blackburn and died on the 16th September 1989 in Blackpool.
