23rd May 1978: Antony thinks the schoolchildren should take an interest in local history and wants to use the discovery of the skull to encourage them. He tells Donald he's settling in but is apprehensive about the upcoming musical as he has no musical knowledge himself. Donald suggests he should speak to Sam. Sam isn't pleased about being asked to help Antony with the school musical and bluntly turns it down. Antony discovers that Seth can't read. He offers to teach him. Seth agrees provided it's kept secret. Sam walks in on Antony teaching Seth to read. Donald has done some research in the parish records on the human skull and accompanying locket found and has discovered that Hannah Elizabeth was the daughter of Elizabeth and Samuel Gough. He shows Antony a gravestone in the cemetery dated '1801' that pays memorial to both Elizabeth and Samuel Gough who died of smallpox. Donald tells Antony, Henry and Amos that he scoured the records for information on Hannah Elizabeth and there is no information on her past 1880. Amos plans to ask families if they had a 'Hannah' in their family.
