Interesting Finds

List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week

• George Edward Taylor (1856-1927) was listed in census records as a commercial painter. His sons George and James were also painters.
• Mary Knowles (1853-) occupation was cotton Tenter which is defined as "Someone who, after cloth was dyed, stretched it on a frame, called a "Tent" for drying . This frame was fitted with hooks known as "Tenterhooks" - about which we all know! 2) The term was also used for a person who looked after or watched something. .i.e. Tip tenter - person inspecting finished shuttle tips after manufacture.

• Maureen is a direct descendant of Mayflower passenger, Stephen Hopkins. The line is through her 3rd great grandmother, Sabrina Chapman.

Marsolet is particularly interesting, as he was an interpreter who was among the first to arrive at the settlement in Québec, in about the year 1613.
