Sends a shiver across my shoulders: fancy having your name inscribed on a gravestone BEFORE your death! Not for me I don't think. I have to pinch myself as I wander my chosen cemetery trying to decide where to deposit my ashes after death.<br /><br />But this does seem a very strange combination. George, being a Colonel in the Army, perhaps lived in barracks and only spent a little time in Paddington. Sophia cannot be his daughter: births too close together. Cannot be his wife: her surnames are in wrong order.<br /><br />Oooo ... what a delicious puzzle.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647501476252066876.post-56537791405765205512012-08-28T20:47:35.666+01:002012-08-28T20:47:35.666+01:00Lovely gravestone.
