BELBEN, dairyman, Woodend, Shirehampton Rd., Stoke Bishop. In the same directory, Frederic Saml. SAGE was listed at 1 Julian Rd., Sneyd Park. TN Stoke Bishop 81317. You mentioned the Housekeeper, Miss Alice WAKELEY. Benj. M. WAKELY (sic), dairyman, was at 2 Chandos Rd., Redland at this time. It's a long shot, but I'm mentioning this in case there was a link with the housekeeper. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
