I'll post in here that my Bour's, Boor's, Bower, or however you choose to spell it are also Norfolk/Suffolk region. I'm away from my system with the GED files but will forward when I get a chance. I'm on holidays this week. Is there a posting group I can put attachments or I can sent to individuals directly.

Washing Day. Our grandmama's and all the girls in the family certainly did have a tough washday - especially if it was wet or icy. Bless them though; they weren't as clean as we are today. I think the more efficient our machines are the more washing we seem to gather in. So it can still be a drudge trying to do everything during the evenings after a day out at work. Still I wouldn't want to go back to those days. No decent shampoo, deodorant and perfumed soap!!! Regards.
