Gravestone monument to Herbert Victor Penford, All Saints Churchyard, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, Berkshire.
"In loving remembrance of Herbert Victor Penford born 25th December 1880. Died 7th July 1881 - Asleep in Jesus."
Little Herbert Victor was born on 25th December 1880 to Edward Penford, a general labourer, and his wife Fanny Harrington, a laundress.
Herbert or Hubert as he appears on all records, except his gravestone, appears on the 1881 Census aged only 3 months old, living with his parents and elder brother Edward Henry at his maternal grandmother, Mary Harrington's house at 6 Princess Street in Maidenhead Berkshire.
Sadly, little Herbert passes away on 7th Jul 1881 aged just 6 months old.
Glad to see you back, missed your posts.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you always do a little bit of research to give us a bit more info and not just the details from the gravestone.
