  • At the 1893 inquest for the death of his son (George) this George stated his occupation as:-
    General Labourer in the employ of  Mr. Pochin, of Croft.
    In 1865 Samuel Davenport Pochin, 1826-1904, acquired the Croft brick works.
    He came from Wigston Magna where his father was a pillar of the Independent Chapel.
    Samuel settled in Croft and in 1868 was joined by his elder brother Henry Davis Pochin and together they established the Croft Stone and Brick Company in 1872.
    Henry Pochin whilst retaining an interest in the quarry at Croft had other interests and did not live in the village.
    He made his fortune as a manufacturing chemist and lived stylishly at Bodnant in the Conwy valley.
    Samuel Davenport's youngest brother John Pochin is shown on the 1891 Census in Croft, Leicestershire as a Hosiery Manufacturer - this fits entirely with George senior's trade.
  • The quarries must have been a dread for Emily.
    Not only her son George died because of quarrying, but her husband died in 1901 and his death register lists his occupation as stone quarrier.
    He died of exhaustion and diabetes.
    Perhaps the stocking trade offered little work at the time.
    Also in 1901 son Ernest was working in the quarries as per census.
