Mark Vinnicombe

Timothy Dickens writes,

"Mark Vinnicombe was born in 1867 at Willand in Devon.

He lived his adult life in Wellingborough.

He died in 1936 and is buried in Wellingborough cemetery.

The cap badge shows the insignia MR (Midland Railway) which predates

the 1922 consolidation of the railway companies. However the photograph

was probably taken prior to the First World War.

Mark lost his right arm in accident on the railway at Wigston on

the 15th May 1888. The accident record states that his head was injured too"
