Inscription

Alice Mizon (née Green) (1 August 1875 – 19 May 1942)

Alice was born Helions Bumpstead and was the daughter of John and Sarah (née Dyson). Her father was an agricultural labourer and Alice worked as a hand jacket finisher (1891) and tailoress (1901). She married George Mizon in 1901 and they had at least three sons: Ernest Frederick George (1903-1994), Leonard Herbert (1910-1980) and Percy Allen (1912-1998).

George worked as a railway plate layer when they married and in 1911 the family were living at 35 Hereford Street in Bethnel Green. By at least 1934 George and Alice were living at 4 St. Philip’s Road before then moving to 80 Tenison Road (at least 1938 onwards).   In 1939 George was working as a railway inspector.  Alice died at Addenbrookes Hospital in May 1942.

George Mizon (30 June 1878 – 9 May 1955)

George was also born in Helions Bumpstead and was the son of Thomas and Sarah (née Wright). His father worked as a horse keeper and his mother as a jacket hand finisher.

After he was widowed he married Margaret Reid Martin (1895-1965) in 1945.  Margaret was a spinster and worked as a housekeeper before she married George.  The couple continued to live at 80 Tenison Road but George died at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
