For Sale / Wanted / Events / Scunthorpe Co-op Letters etc
« on: Thursday 15 November 07 07:45 GMT (UK)  »
Did your family work – shop – have a mortgage or apply for a job at the Scunthorpe Co-op.
If so I may have some information for you.
I have job applications, medical reports, evening class tests and results, mortgage application forms, letters of complaint, offers of businesses and properties for sale etc.
I can do a name search and see if I have any for your ancestor
They are original documents although some do come with carbon copy replies
If I find something for your ancestor I am willing to sell them starting at £4.99 up to £20 including postage charge depending on quantity and amount of information on them
Although the forms and letters are primarily from the Scunthorpe area there are many from all over the Country so worth asking.

Thank you for the information Geoff

I am finding the NUTT line a lot more fun to track down even if it is a lot harder then my CRACKLE line that I am, touch wood, finding a lot easier to trace.

Think the lies are making it more like a detective story

Hi
I am trying to tie up some  loose ends here and hope somebody can help find some truth in a lot of lies that were told by my great grandparents, this query is just one of the lies that I have found they have told.

I found the marriage of James NUTT and Naomi SOUTH in 1887 where they were calling themselves widow and widower.

I have looked for the death of David SOUTH before 1887 and a marriage for James and the death of his wife but could find no trace of for any of these facts.

I then decided to see if I could find David on the 1881 census which I did, he was lodging in Grimsby with a family called FARMERY saying that he was unmarried.

Not sure why but I thought I would just look him up on the 1891 census and you guessed it he was alive and well married to his landlady Eliza.

So now did they both lie and both commit bigamy or did they divorce and Naomi lie saying she was a widow.

I have found the marriage of David SOUTH and Eliza FARMERY on BMD

Year of Registration: 1881 
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 
DISTRICT: Caistor 
County: Lincolnshire

Could anybody possibly look there marriage up for me please to see if he said if he was a widower too

We have quite a few parish registers and an index to one of the local papers, in fact it is quite a good local library for researching your family tree for the area.

They have the newspaper index on line I have just looked and there are 3 mentions of MATHER

http://www.northlincs.gov.uk/NorthLincs/Leisure/libraries/localandfamilyhistory/familyhistory/Surnames/

Only trouble is I am now searching outside of the area for my Nutt's so have just decided to try find out a bit more about my mothers side.

I will see what I can find out for you

Morning
I am pretty sure they are not on line but the office staff there were very helpful when I called in.
It is only a very small office but perhaps if you emailed them or gave them a ring they could help.

The information I got was

Date of Burial

Grave Number

or where in the case of my grandparents the ashes were scattered

Tel. 01724 280289

Email: crematorium@northlincs.gov.uk.

Another site I found by chance yesterday, not sure if anybody else has posted the link anywhere is

http://www.gravestonephotos.com/index.php

Not complete by all means but seems like it could be useful

Hi,
we have 3 cemeteries as well as the crematorium Brumby, Crosby and Scunthorpe.
Not sure how close you are to Scunny but the crematorium has an index to nearly all the burials in the Scunthorpe area.

I have two distressed books/directories, not sure of the date of the  or the title as the first pages are missing  >:( but I have found some information on John Elsam

In the one I think is dated about 1840
he was a Councilor  till Nov 1843
also listed under
WHITESMITHS [AND NAIL MAKER] High St Boston.

The later book has the Town Council [1855-6] where he is an Alderman and also a Borough Magistrate.
Now Listed under Ironmongers, Bridge foot. High St

Hope this is of some interest to you.

Helen
