Hi,

Sorry to be so long with a response. I don't know whether the following his already been related in this thread, but a few years ago I went to visit the widow of a former secretary of the GLSFHS. I think her name was Joan .... . I had told her about Amos James and as she lived in Blakeney as a child she she took me to a place (nr Viney Hill?) looking across the valley to Blakeney Hill and said "your Amos James lived in either that house, or that one".

As an afterthought, as we were about to leave I said to Joan that I recollected Amos's wife being a bit strange. If he stood up, so did she. If he went out she followed him. I recall my mother saying that she felt as is the wife was worried about a rival female.

As soon as I mentioned this to Joan she said that Amos's wife was a strange woman and was able to point to which of the two dwellings 'my' Amos James lived in.

I mention this because there were two Amos's. Are we talking about the same man?
