The Bear
Cross Inn at Kinson Dorset. Before September 1894) I
believe, my ggrandfather Edwin LANE (beer retailer) and
wife Elizabeth in the doorway, two penny farthings and
two bikes outside, with three men, who may or may not be relatives! I'm not sure if your site caters
for old
photos, though. The 'new' Bear Cross was built c 1931, behind the old one, which was then demolished. At
that time a
man called Jack ALNER was running it. (The penny farthings were called "ordinaries" Kindly

| A
picture taken circa 1869 of my Great Great Grandparents Harry (born 1800) and Love AYLES (b.1826) with 9
of their 12 children,
taken we believe at the family home Charles Farm, Bagnum, Ringwood.
Harry married at age 22 to Grace EARLY (nee YOUNG) a
widow of 38
who was in possession of a small farm, they had three children but in
the 1840s Harry left her and set up home close by with Love YOUNG the
illegitimate teenage daughter of his housekeeper Jane YOUNG . Jane and Grace both came from Brading on the Isle of Wight and it appears from the Parish Registers that they were more than likely sisters. After Grace's death in 1856, Harry and Love, who by then had 6 children, married in West Ham (London), although they continued to live in Ringwood. It was illegal to marry your dead wife's sister's daughter, which may account for the distant choice of venue for the wedding, I have been unable to trace any other connection to London. My Great Grandmother Alice Ayles is the youngest child at the knee of her father who was 66 when she was born! Kindly
