Kent / Re: BLOUNT, Florence Jane abt.1856 Goudhurst

Dear Brian,

Research on the internet has revealed two pieces of information which may or may not be relevant. I found a birth for Florence Blunt in Cranbrook registration district, third quarter of 1868, folio 2A, page 617.

In the 1871 census the family were at Old Cranbrook Road, Hawkhurst but Florence was not listed. However in the same census I found a record for a property in Styles Yard, Horsmonden in the names of James and Henrietta Bradford. However, interestingly a Florence Blunt was listed aged five and shown as a Niece.

According to my road atlas Goudhurst, Hawkhurst and Horsmonden are all in the same general area. However, the birth record indicates 1868 and the 1871 census aged five in 1871, leaving a gap of two years, although the census records were not always precise and of course she was not with her parents on census day.

Northumberland / Re: Peter Ferguson ( R.N. d.1921 )of 31 Hunters Road, Spital Tongues, Newcastle.

Dear Pirhana,

The 1901 Census lists a property at 46, Morpeth Street, St. Andrew with the following occupants:-

Peter (41) Cabinet Maker (Born in Edinburgh) Maria (42 Born in Edinburgh) / Frederic (16) Pit Lad / Florence (12) / Jane (9) / Peter (7) / Mable (5) / Mary (3) / Jessie (1).

In the 1911 Census the family were at 31 Hunters Road, both parents and five daughters, plus a son William (born in 1904). Frederic and Peter (the son!) were not listed.

Cannot be certain whether Peter (son) married but I carried out a search of the marriage records for Northumberland between the years 1910 to 1921 and came across the following entry :
1916, Tynemouth Registration District, Peter H. Ferguson married Thomasine L. Hastie.
This might be "your" Peter.

Regards,

Lancashire / Re: PLIMMER in Barrow

Dear Plimmerian,

I subscribe to two other sites and found the following which could be your family.

1901 Census - Property 146 Mechanics Row, Newport, Shropshire
Charles (born 1861) Coal Miner - Hewer/ Mary (b. 1855) Wife / James (b. 1884) Coal Miner- Franksman / Rosetta (b.1885) / Alice (b.1889) / Mary (b.1892) / Edwin (b. 1893)

In the 1911 Census the property was described as 146 Mechanics Row, 146 Oakengates Road, Donnington Wood, Newport Shropshire. Five occupants were listed, the two parents, James (son), Mary (Daughter) Edwin (son). The two James were still listed as Coal Miner - Hewer.

However all these were born in Shropshire, so if your James was born in Barrow in Furness this is probably not your family !

Surrey / Re: Hocknorton lodge
« on: Thursday 13 December 12 17:58 GMT (UK)  »

Dear Mumjo,

On the internet I had a look at the Street Directory of Surrey for 1913, the latest one and nearest 1931 and came across the following entry:-

Private Residents - Major Frank R.H. Chapman, Hocknorton, Beech Avenue, Camberley.

If this is the one then it was a private house. Wonder if any fellow members in the area might be able to throw more light on this, perhaps a Local Historical Society ?

Nookie,

Following on from what Sue has said I found a record of the following Marriage :-

Charles D. Barber married Dorothea Garbe in 1916 in the Romford Registration District, Volume 4A, Page 1019.

Could this possibly be the son !

Hertfordshire / Re: George and Hannah White of Tewin
« on: Thursday 06 December 12 18:14 GMT (UK)  »
Alan,

I think that this is a real long shot as the records for the 17th Century are quite sparse. On a web site that I subscribe to I searched for marriages in the name of George White between the years 1620 to 1690 and it came up with 64 records. One in particular was as follows:-

George White married Hanna Norton on the 1st May 1667 at St. James Church, Clerkenwell, London.

None of the other records listed the bride's christian name as Hannah or Hanna.

Essex / Re: Havering Well House
« on: Thursday 06 December 12 17:28 GMT (UK)  »
Nookie,

In the 1901 Census the property was listed as Havering Well House, Hornchurch Road, Hornchurch. The occupants were listed as Alfred Barber, aged 44, born in Islington and described as a Sack and Bag Merchant and Manufacturer. His wife Mary aged 32, born in Lavenham Suffolk, together with two female servants.

Then checked the 1911 census and the house was occupied by Edmund Tanton and five other members of his family.

Regards,

fifthwheel
