Lincolnshire / Re: whereabouts of trade directories for Louth
« on: Friday 01 November 13 09:30 GMT (UK) »HiHi Jacky,
I have an old sampler which I have researched and found to be made by a girl living in the Slingsby area of Yorkshire. The framing of the item was done at a later date by J T Boldon, 32 Upgate, Louth. I was trying to find out when the framing was carried out. Trade directories would say when he was working from this address and thus give a rough date for the framing.
Hope this answers your question.
Very very interesting. I have always wondered whether any of his work was still around somewhere. He was previously a cabinet maker at least until 1894 and later an art teacher. I can tell you that he was a picture frame maker in 1900, 1901, but by 1904 he had diversified to be a stationer and fancy goods dealer (still at 32 Upgate). By 1905 the business was in trouble. So it has to be 1900 plus or minus five years. Do you still have the sampler and Frame?

The Common Room / RAOB Medal

Hello,
My wife has a Royal Antedeluvian Order of Buffalos medal with sash from her g.grandfather. On the back it is inscribed with his name, a date, plus the words Evans Pride and the number 450.
Has anyone any idea what the Evans Pride might mean and the number. It it the name of a lodge?
Thanks in advance.

Lincolnshire / Re: whereabouts of trade directories for Louth
« on: Thursday 31 October 13 21:05 GMT (UK) »Hi
Does anybody know which library or archives I might contact, which might have trade directories for the Lincolnshire area please?
I'm trying to find out when a certain J.T. Boldon of Louth had premises in Upgate, Louth for picture framing.
I live in Yorkshire so would need a library/archives willing to look this up for me. I'm guessing it would be during the 1900's, but probably later than those available on the historical directories website as these only go up to the 1910's
Thanks
Jacky
Know this is an old message but really curious as to what your interest in my grandfather John Thomas Boldon is.
