(Soldiers preparing for World War I on land believed to be Red Barn Farm)
I came from
Fairford, so they say,
But then I moved
Great Marlow way,
A
lovely spot is dear Red Barn
But
life’s hard work upon a farm.
My son he
said that he had learned
How better money could be
earned
And
so he's moved to 2 Pauls Row
To
sell the corn he used to grow,
And thus remove the middle man
Who takes our money when he can,
And so we Wanes are getting wise
Beneath our weather laden skies.
Isaac Wane married Eliza Brangwin of Barmoor Farm. His
brother
Jonathan was a 'prosperous gentleman' in
Gloucestershire whose daughter became the second wife of William Alfred
Redington (pawnbroker). Isaac's son, John Wane, married music teacher
Eliza Treacher. Isaac's daughter, Mary, was the first wife of William
Alfred Redington, and
another daughter, Emma, married Robert George (pawnbroker) - there is
no evidence that Robert was linked to the High Wycombe George family
(ironmongers and publicans) but he was already related to the Wane
family.
