Another brick down.

One of my greatgrandfather's sisters Emma Horne had the good sense to marry a man who is a googlewack (ancestry wack?) Philemon Baddeley. However as I had him up on every census up to 1891 as a tax officer in Brixham I was reluctant to accept a freebmd death in Eastbourne.

However a trawl of the 1901 census found his son Frederick Horne Baddeley as a grocer in Eastbourne and a google search found he had the good sense to own the next shop to an early photograper.

Well done. My own grandfather Jeuel Jabez Gray is a censuswhack!

Hey!

Baddeley Grocer Stores then went to Stow on the Wold...There was also a shop called Horne's, which was to do with the family connection. I'm not 100% sure which was first (because they both occupied the same building) but i'm reasonably conifident that Horne's was first and then it became Baddeley Stores (i'm not sure when the shop closed down). My dad was a Baddeley, one of 5 boys from Stow on the Wold. The shop sign was still in existence until about 10 years ago. I actually have a picture of my dad and his 4 brothers stood underneath the sign in our back garden on his 50th birthday in 1991.

that is very interesting. I have an ancestor Rebecca Clifford from Stow on the Wold who married Thomas Horne. The Hornes owned a grocery business in Moreton in Marsh for several generations and had a chain of shops owned by various family members including my grandfather but I had not come across a branch in Stow on the Wold.
