    3. Hello, Listers.... In response to Lori Mitchell's recent very interesting submissions on the funeral of Abraham Mitchell, I looked out the report of the Memorial service of a former Lady Mayoress, Sarah Jane Robinson. Sarah Jane was the wife of George Henry Robinson who was Lord Mayor of Bradford 1914-15 and who has links to my SURBUTS ancestors. Maybe some of you will recognise some of the following names.
