Lewis Alun Foreman,
31st January Ch. 29th March 1896 D.1963. my father, grew up in Boughton under
Blean, worked first as butcher and later as a builder. He served in the army
during the first world war as a medical orderly. He married Ivy
Winifred Wilson in 1936
By
the 1901 census they were living at 48 The Street Boughton under Blean, with
George’s job listed as a farmer.
The first family memory that I have is of visiting my aunt Edith about 1953
when she lived at (unmarried) Walnut tree house, Boughton under Blean. (photo),
the family home. However I have a post card that my father posted to his mother
in 1914 with an address Rose Cottage, Boughton under Blean, So when did they
move there? I think that two of their sons emigrated to Canada.
