Good Evening
I wonder if someone has knowledge of Landlords of the above Pub since 1882,
One of my Great Uncles, Joseph Nunley was Landlord there until he put it up for Auction on the 1st June 1882, (I found a newspaper item from the Wellingborough News stating it was going to Auction and that Joseph was the proprietor).
I have since found a that his nephew Samuel Nunley according to the Probate record (see below) died there in 1929. The question I am asking is, did Samuel buy the pub from his uncle or did he purchase at a later date. (the 1891 census for Raunds show that Samuel was a Shoemaker and lived in Higham End, Raunds.
Regards

Hi Ridgeback.
I can not help with your request but I know that "deeiluka" here is
related to the Nunley's of Raunds.
Also "rancegal" is also very knowledgeable about the village.
Maybe contacting them might help. :)

Hello Ridgeback.
Joseph Nunley was also a great great great uncle of mine. :)
I'm not sure if I can answer your question, but I'll check through all my Nunley information for you.

Samuel Nunley senior was still a shoemaker but living in Grove St, Raunds in 1901. He was an Army Bootmaker and continuing to live in Grove St, Raunds in 1911. I have no record of him living at the Bird in the Hand Hotel, I'm afraid.
Maybe rancegal will have more knowledge of hotel keepers in those years.
However, I do have all sorts of Nunley information if it is of any use to you, including some information of Joseph's will signed in 1884.
(My gg-grandmother was a Nunley of Raunds.)

HI Dee. :)
I think this might help a little Ridgeback.
It states it was sold to a Mr West(on) for £900.00 when
Joseph died.

Thank you Seahall for the contact, if it is OK with Dee I will PM her (I assume) shortly.
Dee, thank you for your response, I look forward to making contact with you.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of information there is out there, all you have to do is ask.

Girls ;D
Where was the Bird In Hand in Raunds?
I live 6 miles away in Higham Ferrers but have never heard of it.
I also worked in Raunds on occasions too.

Thanks for the picture Ridgeback.
I showed my hubby(a delivery driver in the area) and he said yeah that's in Grove Street........think it's a house now though?
Why didn't I ask him before? ::) 8)

Hi All.
Ridgeback I have a copy of Joseph and Alice's gravestone.
You may already have it.
I asked at the Library for you and was told it was an outdoor beer house?
at the time Joseph owned it.

Thank you so very much for that, no I have not got it and so that will be another one to add to the Family Tree.
One other thing Dee and I have made contact so we are now emailing each other, thanks again.

Hi again.
As Dee and I have been friends well before Rootschat :) I will
e-mail the original which is a much better copy and ask her to pass on.
I have some more of the family, so if I can help further just ask.
Good you have both united. :)
Sandy
-
Yes, thankyou again Sandy. :)
I think David and I are going to enjoy exchanging information. I have told him how much you have helped me over the years with my Northants research. I'll certainly forward on the original of the photo.
Carol, lots of my ancestors, including my grandmother, lived in Grove Street and other Raunds streets.
Just wish I was able to visit. :)
Dee

Morning Dee. :)
I just had a thought I could look out all the piccies in awhile and
get some copies made and send them across if you would like.
Can either you or David say who else you have in the village
in case I have them.
Take Care.

Sandy, that's very kind of you. :)
First I'll need to make a list of the photos I already have, many of which you kindly sent me. I'll send the list once I have it done. As you know, I'm not able to spend much time at the computer at present. :-\
Dee :)

Thanks for that Sandy
I will be in contact with Dee and I am sure we can come up with a small list together.
Take care

Hello Nunley Descendants,
I was interested to see Joseph Nunley's headstone and thought I would attach his brother's death cert as Joseph was the informant.

Happy New Year to you Fran and all of the family in NZ
Thank you so very much for posting the Death cert. Just a matter of interest where do you fit in with the Nunley family?
Kindest regards

Hi David,
Happy New Year to you and your family too!
My grandmother's grandmother, following my female line, takes me to Susannah Nunley, daughter of John Nunley and Mary Ann Britten. Susannah married John Mumford and was known as Susan. After Susan's death in 1877, her youngest daughter Deborah sailed to New Zealand to become domestic help to a widowed man, Christopher Hanham. They married in March 1878 making Deborah stepmother to three young children at age 20. Together they had 14 children, my grandmother Annie being the 8th child. Annie married Arthur John Skelton and my mother Mavis was their 7th child. Mum married Maurie Oates. Rosemary helped me with much of the Nunley history which confirmed the oral history I knew.
Kind Regards,
Fran

Could someone tell me the words of the last line of Joseph and Alice Nunley's headstone.
Thanks,
