George was a laborer/bricklayer and lived in Orchard Lane.
According to his nephew Harry's Birthday Book,he was born April 22nd. 1849.
George Eastman was a Master Bricklayer who died at the age of 47
from Pulmonary Tuberculosis,having been in a coma from Cerebral
Spinal Meningitis for 14 days.
His Memorial card describes him as the beloved husband of Elizabeth
A.Eastman,and says "In Fond and Loving Remembrance"
There is also a verse on it:
"A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A vacant place is in our home,
Which never can be filled."
His death was notified by his sister-in -law Ellen N Burns,who had been
present.
His physician was one E.A.R.Covey.LRCP.
The death took place at Nelson Cottage Shirley Warren,Shirley U.D.
Southampton Hants. on February 6th 1897,and registered the same day.
Elizabeth was originally married to Henry Eastman (George's brother). They
had two children.
She married George after Henrys death and had a further six children by him.
It appears that she was living with George after Henry died and before she married George, as the same address (Orchard Lane) was recorded on the marriage certificate.
She started and ran her own laundry, and Laundry Road (in Shirley) where they lived was named after it.
According to info from 1881 census, there was a Marther Gailor (aged 23) and a Lucy Munden (aged 14) staying with the Eastman family. As their occupation was indicated as laundress they were probably working in Elizabeth's laundry.
Her father was a butcher at West Cowes.
Elizabeth was a very kindly, good woman who not only had all those children (8 in total) and run her own laundry, but also cared for anyone in the neighborhood who was ill or in trouble. She used to take them meals she had cooked, tucked under her white apron so that no one would know.
