Family Ties...

 

Although not a direct blood line of my Cook-Abbott family, the Talbot's have intrigued me since discovering the family connection. Whilst not doubting their business acumin, I have wondered why they should develop a Mineral Water business when the family trade started out as Dyers. I am pretty sure I have worked this out and it will become the subject of a blog entry in due course.
