Thanks Slowhands for your confirmation, would have posted earlier but broadband went down. As I discovered yesterday, Esther Jones was indeed Esther Hallaway of Pillowell before she married. I'm intrigued as to why she and John went all the way over to Sussex to work and raise a family and then she came back to Pillowell. I wonder if there are any other Forest families that went over to Sussex with them?

As you saw, John's father, Joseph was a hairdresser in Newnham High Street, to think of the number of times I must have walked past that house without realising that one of my ancestors lived there!!

Best regards
