Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Victoria Avenue Borrowash
« on: Thursday 26 June 08 12:27 BST (UK)  »
I might have a few more clues that may help.

Victoria Avenue was apparently called Ockbrook Lane until 1897.

The houses weren't numbered until the late 1890's

There's Homes Dale, Tranquil Vale, 2 more houses then us!


Hope this helps

Hi we have just moved to  Borrowash and have just bought a little book today called ' Walking round Borrowash' which mentions the cotton mill on the Derwent many times - also the Towles and the Swindells. It is wriiten by Marion Johnson 199 Victoria Ave Borrowash Derby DE72 3HG. I think there are probably other books written by her about the local history too. I can get you a copy and send it to you if you let me have your address.
Hope this helps, Alison

Hi I just wondered if anyone could help me?
We have just moved into a new house and wanted to know if it had ever had a house name. We think it was built just before 1878 andwondered if a name would show on any census's as all the other houses nearby seem to have a house name.
The address is 182 Victoria Avenue Borrowash Derby.
I think from the Land Registry that some of the previous owners may have been:
Clementina Holbrook and Sarah Jane Louisa Holbrook
Mr John Anthony

Thank you, Alison

Ireland / Frank and Martha Hall

Please can anyone find my Great grandfather and grandmother on the 1891 census. The are Frank Hall b.1855 - Isle of Wight and Martha Emily Hall b. 1865 inSt Leonards Sussex. Frank was a chef, possibly for the army, and I know that they had 2 children, Rose and Elsie, who were born in Ireland but I dont know where.

Thank you, Alison.

Thank you both for your time!

I had also found Charles and Esther Brown in the 1881 census but had dismissed it as the marriage certificate had said fathers name was James.  Perhaps I should now try and find out if these are the correct Browns afterall.
Please could you let me know the other family members etc for 1851, 61, 91 and 1901.

Thank you once again, Alison.
