I have been doing my family history and would like to find out about the land and houses were
the family lived
I know my grandparents Bernard & Ethel Watts had a market garden in Low street Sancton East
Yorkshire, the house was known firstly as ATLAS HOUSE, then as RED HOUSE.
They also had A dairy at CHAPEL FARM on Kings Street Sancton.
another property they had was known as GOLDIE HILL also in Sancton.
I would like to know a little about the background of these properties, and about the people that previously owned them, Just to be able to add to the family history, from what I have been told about Chapel Farm, the man that used to live there by himself fell down the servant's stairs and died. we lived there when I was a child before moving to Australia. any information or help anyone could give me would be great, thank you for your time
