You would have thought this was the time to give up boxing & get back to his day job!
But, no
In 1892 his wife served up turtle for breakfast!!
Read what happened next
He was a 'Cab Proprietor' then a publican. In & out of court with one thing & another!
In the 1939 register they were living in Teddington (note says retired gentleman!)
He died in 1945, his wife Maria died in 1941.

How fun to be able to learn things like this about our ancestors!! Fascinating!! Thank you for sharing, Angie!! I hope you've had a good week and that you have an even better weekend!!
wooow...lovely indeed to see those vintage pieces of papers. And what a story as well..
Great sky shot
Your boxing ancestor was quite a character Angie, his wife even more so, and a temperamental cook at that :) Sometimes I think about researching my famille but I never seem to get around to it!
