Yerbury & Dainton, both from Beckington, were 2/3rds of the main builders/contractors of Kilburn (North London). Samuel Joseph Dainton employeed 50 full time men and contracted with his relatives from Beckington, Rode and other local villages. There is a mention of this in a local history book on kilburn

Thanks for the info; I'd be interested to see what was said about my 2 x ggf (Robert Allan Yerbury); I'd always thought he was involved in building Yerbury Road in Islington - at the time of the 1881 census it was in the process of being built - but that may just be a coincidence.

Alfred Yerbury was my Uncle....

Hi Tommy:
Yes, I do have kin there off of 44th Avenue. My Great Aunt and Uncle as well as some 'cousins'. They lived next to my great Grandparents :)
Drop a line if they are who you think they are.
