Charles Corner, my ggg Thomas CORNER who m,oved to Wallingford from Oxford around 1839/40 to work for a gunmaker in Castle Street. By 1845 he had become the owner of the business. He had four sons of which the third, Henry William was my gg. I know lots about HW and younger sibling Alfred, but it is the two elder brothers that I need lots of information about. Elder son Louis Manton CORNER, I am told became a much respected citizen of Wallingford, but I have no worthwhile information. The second son Thomas Frederick married a Mary, who appears to have been a total nut case. TF was a postman and there appears to have been a terrible tragedy in the 1850s concerning his family. The family seem to have been concentrated in the parish of St Mary More, and indeed Thomas senior is buried there in 1856, Thomas junior in 1859, and in the same grave are two children, certainly one of them of Louis Manton, Louis Henry aged 10 in 1858 and another Isabella Harriet aged 3 in 1859.
Thomas senior married Rebecca when he was 40 and she 20 in Sussex in 1827, Rebecca is still about in 1871 aged 70, the most senior of 8 others, I deduce that LM is the patriarch now and looking after his mother. Some of the 8 may be the residual family of Thomas junior, but
the inference is that the tragedy was that the wife of Thomas junior killed herself and her children.
