Family History Beginners Board / Re: Records for a house and residents pre 1894
« on: Sunday 19 October 25 19:10 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for these. The map is very clear.   I've found the details for what was included in the sale in 1977 and 1908 (when the attached property was included as a 'capital shop' ).  Not sure when it was decided to be sold separately.  Enfield Council shows the house having a few cosmetic alterations.
 It's all very interesting but the information is sorely lacking pre 1891. I'm not sure if I'll ever get back to the original date of when it was built and who occupied it, but I'll keep on trying.

This certainly is of interest Alan.  Thanks for the research.  It fits in with what I know about James Bird and George John Hicks regarding when they were living in the cottage.  Old fashioned house? It's now Grade 2 listed!
The Thomas's family lived in Rose Cottage in about 1913 and Faith Cottage was supposedly a coachman's house with stables and there was a greengrocer's nearby who still used it.  I'm still not sure if Rose Cottage is the existing building directly next door or was demolished years ago.
Love the inventory of the contents of the house.  They would be highly valued in an antique shop nowadays.   :)

Thank you.  Although I'm not certain, I have an entry for a Henry W Hicks in 1861 with his brother Jonathon - a baker and cow keeper.  George John Hicks 1852- 1931 lived in the cottage in 1911 and 1913.  I haven't yet found the connection
!851 - Ann Bird - a widow is living with Emma - a servant.  I'm still trying to find out if she is a relative of James Bird. 
1881 it looks as though it's uninhabited?

That's interesting.  I have him in 1901 as a retired bookmaker living with his wife and daughter living there.  Next door to the cottage is a religious meeting place.  I wonder if it's connected?

Thank you.  That ties in with James Bird that I have in 1894

I'm trying to find information about a certain property - St Faith's Cottage, Brigadier Hill, Enfield.  The house is also listed as No.30 Brigadier Hill and more recently No.30A Brigadier Hill.  I have worked  backwards from 1972 to 1894 using Census and Electoral Rolls and have the names of the residents for those years.  My problem is that I can find no records of the house ever existing pre this date.  It is described as a 17th century cottage, so has been around for a long time!  It may have been a coach house before with a stable nearby which is now a garage, I believe.  I've looked at tithe maps but haven't had much luck and as this is the first time I've tried to research a property I really do need some help and guidance.    Thank you
