<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don't think Anne's musings about the various
Warners amount to much. By then the Warners who became the bellfounders shortly
afterwards were already in a very big way of business in brassfounding and metal
work of all sorts. A prosperous business - already maintaining a large and
wealthy family - to which bellfounding was added as a sideline (as it always
was). I don't know if Alfred was related or connected in any way, but rather
suspect not. Directories give more or less equal coverage to all firms - large
and very small.</FONT></DIV>

anything in Elphick?</FONT></DIV>
