Gawd Val, I wish you did live next door. When I first read your query, I thought blimey, shes getting certs from the US now! Merry, I reckon we would be on the way to making that piano with all these threads. |

sorry about the numerous threads but I thought as the other thread was probably dead nobody would read what I had written further down His name is or was Henry John Geering deceased on marriage cert 1922 a bit delicate the sons name , but cannot find this Henry John Gerring in the census at all either as a pianoforte maker or a prairiefork maker |
