The Mewett family were living in Ashburnham in 1900 when my grandmother was born
Albion Snr worked as a gamekeeper
In 1891 Albion Snr was residing as a boarder at Greenwoods farm Heathfield. He was the gamekeeper.
Also staying at that location was George Packham (Son in Law to the Head - Walter Pettitt) I suspect that this is how he met his wife Mary Packham.
