White House Staunton (General)

Hello again. Seems like a long time since we were conversing.

We have continued our research about the Barnett family in Staunton and related families. Our Harold Edward is definitely married to Lydia Selby. Lydia's brother William died in the Post Office in 1915 aged 32, the record can be found in the parish registers. William was stated, I think in a census, as being a marine engineer. The post office moved across the road sometime around 1950 and the old post office took the name "Woodcroft". Harold Edward Barnett died in number 2 Woodcroft in 1980 and Lydia died two years later. William, Harold Edward and Lydia are all buried in the Staunton churchyard.

I wonder if William was injured in the war and so came to live with his sister. If I get a chance I shall look up his record.
