James Eyles Keating (1839-1884) and Jane Slater (1840-1899)

James Eyles Keating and Jane Slater were my great-great grandparents. Born and brought up in Woolwich, both were the children of long-serving gunners in the Royal Artillery. James worked as a tailor or tailor’s cutter; Jane as a seamstress or dressmaker. Their stories are told in this PDF.
