In 1969, whilst backpacking, Carol Taylor visited a cousin of Grace's who still lived in Plumstead, for a few days. Unfortunately she cannot remember her name.- "She was quite elderly but in great health and had lots of good stories. She told me that her father and Nan's father were brothers- Henry only had just the one brother Charlie, 1863. Her memory of them was of them sitting in church (Church of England- likely St, Nicholas ) with their mother, Susan? who had a big white cape with little pearls sewn all over it and a white net on the back of her hair with also little beads on it. She said they sat in a special family pew with a little door on it. She remembered that they looked kind of "regal". Anyway she said at some point Nan's father, Henry, broke away from that church and joined the Plymouth Brethren . He, Henry, was VERY strict and would not allow any mirrors or books in the home, other than the Bible. Nan- Grace- won a little story book at school one time, when she was about 7 years old and he threw it in the fire. He ate his dinner alone at a big table and after he finished the children (lots of them- I think 10 ) stood around the table to eat."
