Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Kathleen Horne of Shipley, in 1927 became a surgeon
« on: Wednesday 09 April 25 15:36 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information about Kathleen Horne (1902-1990), daughter of Joseph Horne and Annie (Pullan) Horne.  Family were Grocers with Horne Brothers.  I am intrigued as she was a MRCS (Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons) which is a postgraduate qualification for surgeons in the UK and Ireland. Also she was LRCP (Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians) was historically part of a conjoint diploma with the MRCS, now defunct, for general practitioners.

I see that in 1939 she practised as a "medical practitioner" at Farnley Hall in Otley.  It has been noted that it was used as a Maternity Hospital during WW!!.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Horne Bros. of Commercial Street in Shipley
« on: Wednesday 09 April 25 15:16 BST (UK)  »
 Over 10 years ago I posted this request - My great grandfather Uriah Horne was in the Horne. Bros. grocers business with his brothers Joseph and Albert.  The address is listed as both 11 Commercial Street and Wainman Street, Shipley. and later as 3 Commercial Street.  In early 1900 he left the business (I believe it was not a good parting), became an auctioneer and sadly died of a heart attack at the Shipley train station in 1904.  I am looking for pictures of Horne Brothers in Shipley, or any information.  I have references to Horne Brothers having some other locations and am interested if anyone else knows anything about the stores.  In my grandfathers death, Ronald Horne,  in Eldwick in 1949 there is also a reference from people there representing Horne Brothers.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Online access help for old maps for Batley, Soothill, Hanging Heaton and Eldwick

I find the level of zoom now employed by the website so low that I can't even tell if they are worthwhile maps to purchase or not.  From what I have read about this it seems the website just recently changed the viewers ability to see details without a subscription to one where you have to purchase the maps.  Even more recently they introduced a subscription that allows you to see the maps more closely.
I am wondering if people have subscribed and been happy with the level of detail that they were able to do with the maps.  It is not that big of a concern however as I can always give it a try for a month and see for myself.

Regards, Bridget

Thanks. I was hoping to be able to pull something up online as I am doing this from NY.  I am tempted to subscribe to old-maps.co.uk but am wary that if I subscribe I wont see much more detail.  Actually think Ill just give it a try regardless.
Thank You for your help

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Online access help for old maps for Batley, Soothill, Hanging Heaton and Eldwick

I may be naive in thinking/ hoping that I can find some good maps online that detail many Yorkshire towns and villages in Yorkshire online.  Right now I am hoping for anything from 1930 and below.  I am reading that a subscription is required now to use old-maps.co.uk but I am worried that the level of detail they allow may be mediocre.

Thanks - I will add that info to what I have.  Where do I go to access those old ordnance surveys?  So far I search on line, and use ancestry.co.uk but I am so interested in finding the old ordnance and maps online.
Many thanks, Bridget
