    Hi Ben thanks for your message. As you say this was a terrible tragedy. He looked to be a kindly man with 2 beautiful children and a lovely wife. His mind must have been in such turmoil so sad. Harry would have been my second cousin twice removed. Quite a distant relation but when I started researching the Ashburner's I wanted to record them all.
    regards from dotti

    Thank you Tony for your post. Reading the situation of your first hand knowledge of the hosiery trade bought the torment of people workers and management to life. It would have been very distressing for all concerned. No government help in those days for struggling industries very different times.
    thank you
