It's always great to hear from descendants of the families I have researched. That is fantastic information on George Arthur and the clocks he donated to the Maidenhead clock tower. That was something I was completely unaware of.<br /><br />I have edited the post to include a link to your fantastic genealogy site.<br /><br />If you would like an unedited copy of the photograph for your records, please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail via the contact buttons at the top right of the page.Beneath Thy Feetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282332510068721962.post-17518227854666571102014-02-02T13:51:09.992+00:002014-02-02T13:51:09.992+00:00I am related to George.

Not much to add about George.<br /><br />This is what I have "George Battcock was born in 1815 and became a wine and spirit merchant. He married Jane King. His son George Arthur Battcock was director of the Mutual Life Assurance Society and donated the clocks for the Clock Tower in Maidenhead built as part of the celebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. George’s grandson George fought in the First World War and there is a very good book about his regiment in the war "<br /><br />I have lots about his father and mother who were very interesting. They lived in Chennies walk in Chelsea and there used to be a Battcock Street, Battcock Wharf and Battcock Cottages by them.. http://globalbattcocks.wordpress.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365510914762745784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282332510068721962.post-9322125492829117392013-11-25T06:51:55.395+00:002013-11-25T06:51:55.395+00:00Thank you for reading my blog and taking the time ...Thank you for reading my blog and taking the time to comment.

George Snr must have had a similar amount of money at the time he died.
