I am a month late due to personal issues but ....never late than never.
"Social" had me pondering as I really don't know much about that aspect of the family I have been researching to date and then WHAM the content for my topic just dropped in my lap!!
Recently my granddaughter got formally admitted to her church choir and that got me thinking back to my grandfather, Frank Horace WESTON who had been born in Etchingham, Sussex in 1886 and moved with his parents to Salehurst. Frank sang in Salehurst church choir as did his older brother Henry John Weston whilst his younger brother Percy became the church organist. There are plenty of newspaper reports of weddings, funerals and social occasions where they either played or sang.
Frank married and had two daughters both of whom sang in the church choir. My mother married one of the boys in the local village school and he too was a member of the church choir.
Both my sister and I have sung in a church choir. My two children joined me in Cuckfield church choir and now my daughter's youngest daughter has joined her church choir in Hertfordshire.
