Ernest Frederick Bourne

  Research Notes:

An Ernest Bourne aged 15 in 1901 census who lived @ 76 Gravel Walk, Ashford with his widowed father William Bourne aged 50, Gravel Walk being parallel to the back of the south side of New Street, which seems too much of a coincidence as that is where Emily Wilkinson lived from before 1901!
