We have had a magnificent reply to our challenge to tell the story of Box families over the last century. Because it's scarecrow season we start with the merger of the Callaway and Abrahams families.
The Callaways were coal merchants and domestic coachmen and they married into the Abrahams family of butchers, slaughtermen and owners of various local shops. They were living next door to the Rising Sun pub on Box Hill when it blew up in a gas explosion.
Thank you, Eric and Sandra, for the scarecrow fun and the fascinating history of your family.
