Nottinghamshire / Re: Annesley Hall Nottinghamshire
« on: Monday 03 September 12 11:07 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Alan,

During the day of the 8th, various things are going off at the Accacia Centre from 10am ( as noted on prev message) Dick is to give a history talk at the Church Yard  during the day and at the Centre. 7pm is his Ghostly Tales of Annesley Hall to be given at the Churchyard.

May I suggest you come to the Centre, see an upto date list of events from ourselves and other societies, perhaps visit the new Church earlier as a wedding is on around 12.30pm. Kirkby and district Conservation Society ,linked with the Church Group, share information on the stalls, and we should have similar at the old Church site, with Annesley Hall info. A group of morriss dancers and skiffle music will be on site at the Church later !

Thanks for the Message re Annesley. I am a member of the conservation Society and have a copy of Annesley through the ages, and Queen of a Fantastic Realm, and A family gathering the Musters Story.

For over 20 years I have compiled information and contacts over this topic, and as belonging to the Friends of Annesley Old Church Project ( the heritage lottery funded restoration of the Tower). So.... I was trying to widen the interest and let other be aware of the Launch date for the Tower Re opening and Project 8th Sept. A day of events at the Tower and New Church and Accacia Ave Community centre, with a Ghost Walk at the Old Church at 7pm.

The Hall and the local history amaze me, and if there is any way it can be saved, preserved, used as a museum or historical venue, so much the better.  We are looking at other Towers and how they are managed and funds raised i.e. Bramcote has a similar story to Annesley Old Church but less remains, Colwick needs a project to save it internally as the Musters are Buried inside.
I hope to be up at the Church with photos on the 8th during the day and other paperwork, Mr Starr is to give history talk and in time the site will encourage art, writing, photography, and be kept in a good state of repair.

There is a plan of the site and names on gravestones ( those readable) that came from the conservation society, and when the project is a little further along we will have a DVD showing the builders, students from schools, stonemasons, etc all aspects of those people who have worked within the project. A face book page Annesley Old Church Project, shows events linked to the project and contact numbers for anyone who wants to assist with research or just wants to be involved in any way.

Once again, thank you for the message and hope to see you on the day.
Sue.

Nottinghamshire / Re: Robert Cutts of Newstead Notts
« on: Thursday 17 May 12 03:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi, if youre still looking into the Cutts family, Ashfield District Council had put burial records on one of their web sites so you could call up a local graveyard.
Annesley All Saints ( the New one sited on the Hill) has a Cutts family grave, and as Newsted is the next village to Annesley (less than 3 miles) its possible the Cutts clan were miners and moved just down the Road.
Annesley Old Church is currently undergoing restoration to a 13th century tower and this is at the side of Annesley Hall, the old manor house of the area. The family employed numerous people on this estate, but had other estates that staff could be sent or asked to be moved to esp in Norfolk. But a national campaign to get people to move to Canada in the early part of the 1900's seemed to take a good number of families to the farming/agricultural northern Canada.
Hope it helps.

Nottinghamshire / Re: Kirkby In Ashfield burial help please
« on: Thursday 17 May 12 03:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi- since your last info re Burials at St Wilfreds Church Kirkby in Ashfield, Ashfield District Council ADC, have burial records on a web site, go in through ADC. Also in the local studies section of Kirkby Library, upstairs, some Burial/ headstone records are written.
The site of the church has few older graves to be seen, but around the back of the Church down a fields footpath a graveyard from abt 1900 is hidden in a dip.

Kirkby in Ashfield is an old village, and the earlier parts are Kirkby Cross near St Wilfreds, but when the mines were being sunk around the turn of the century, a drastic change from agriculture to industry happened, and a lot of people moved into the area from other pit communities.
Hope you find what you are searching for.
Sue.

Nottinghamshire / Re: Looking for Daniel Green
« on: Thursday 17 May 12 02:51 BST (UK)  »
Hello- just seen your search for Daniel Green and Lily Guest.
We have Guest connections going back in Burntwood Staffordshire, around 1880's my Unsworths moved to Nottingham to work in the local collieries as the mines near them were worked out.
The men were at Trowell Pitt ? but had moved from Bramcote area in Nottingham in the early 1900's. I think an Unsworth married a Guest as when Florence was 13 she was at their house for a census.
Hope you find more on Greens, mine were in Denby in Derbyshire prior to 1890 and moved again to work in new pits in Kirkby in Ashfield/ Annesley Notts.

Thanks for the info - just working out how RW works, had seen some posts in 2011 from others interested and hoped I could include them in the project.
The threads were from 2007, esp awahl, Roots Chat Extra and Dizzifish RC veteran, with working and family connections to the Hall.  Hope they still use this site. !
