Charles Gledhill esq Lived in my village of South Kirkby at the Grove house.He was a typical country gentleman.His house still remains and is now our town hall.It became a convent at one time and the council bought it when it was closed.The link to some pics of the Grove is  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0sr2/

Roseville,I think is either the short row opposite the little fish and chip shop on Mill Lane,or the row opposite the Mill lane Working Mens Club.

I am a Family member,Amos was my grandad. There is controversy about Amos's mum.In the entry for 1911,Amos is 5 years old(born 1906), however his father William is described as a widower(but slightly crossed out). There is no mention of the woman my mum was told was her grandmother at all,but there is a mention of a "kate Johnson" described as "housekeeper" 32 years of age.I looked her up in the previous 1901 census and she was living with her parents and single at age 22.Two of the three children in 1911 are named Johnson,Mary 11,and Jane 2(she shares the same birthplace Skegby with Amos Bradford age 5). To further confuse matters,Williams father Samuel and his wife were lodgers when William was 5 with the Johnson family in Mansfield Woodhouse. Samuel Bradfords dad was called James and his mum Rebecca(from Co Durham) who were both 40 in the census year of 1871(before Williams 1976 birth) when they had ten children living with them from the age of 16 down to age 1. James's dad was William Bradford who was aged 45(wife Elizabeth age 35) in the 1841 census year.They lived in Barrowgate,Quorndon,where William worked as a framework knitter.Hope this helps,or even gets to you.
