I think he also worked in the village pub. He had quite a large family,13 or 14 children. I would love to know if anybody has any information about this family, I am his grandaughter.
I have just moved in with my fiance at Woodland's House on Main Street in Helperby. His birthday is coming up and I was looking for a unique gift.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lisa
