The 1939 Register gives his date of birth
Occupation:
frm 1900 to 1956 (age 21-78)
farmer; Owersby Moor
Address: North Owersby, Lincolnshire
Apart from the fact that he farmed in North Owersby it is difficult to determine exactly where he farmed and impossible to determine the size of the farm. His marriage registration says that he farmed in North Owersby. The 1921 Census is more specific in that the address is given as Crossley Road, Claxby in North Owersby. The announcement of the engagement of daughter Phyllis to Robert Walker is specific in giving the address as Owersby Manor, Claxby whilst the marriage announcement says Owersby Moor which is an area as does the grant of probate. Current maps show there are two farms on Owerby Moor - Highfield Farm and Moor Farm whilst there is also Manor Farm House which Grade II listed Victorian building with an associated farm. He probably inherited the farm which must have been large and profitable because his estate was worth over £28,000 in 1956. Presumably the farm was sold as he did not have a son to carry on the business
Mourner:
2 Jun 1910 (age 32)

George, played the Dead March from “Saul.” As the coffin was carried out the choir chanted the Nunc Dimittis. The cortege, which was met at the Church door by a number of Lincoln Freemasons, then proceeded to the cemetery, an open carriage filled with floral tributes preceded the hearse.
