I seemed to remember hearing it was before Jonah."
Dark Lane Chearsley	Mark Blincoes last abode  from 1918 onwards	"The Mansion" today
Mabel Head great great grandaughter of  Jonah Blincoe, Marks brother has been a valuable source of information and these photographs of Mark Blincoe's home Chearsley., From Mabel " ... the cover of his book published in 1994, showing Dark Lane.  Mark Blincoe lived in a cottage to the left of the people at the bottom of the lane. This book took a lot of research over a period of years, and my mother was one of the people that it was dedicated to in her memory"	From Mabel  ""The Mansion"   in Chearsley where Mark Blincoe lived (after 1918) and died . I wanted to get facts right before I sent it. (This was taken from the book of Chearsley)"	From Mabel  "as it is today.  Reduced to a garage.( I suppose it was a wattle and daub building in the begining)"
