Lancashire / Re: Benson family in 1921 at Scarth Hill, Lathom
« on: Yesterday at 13:48 »
In 1921 the Waterworks House entry is immediately preceded by: The Firs; Firs Cottages (2 households); and Bewcastle. These were on Ruff Lane: if you use the 25 inch map and scroll up to go to the top of Scart Hill Lane where it meets Ruff Lane and Whiteleys Lane you’ll see The Firs and Bewcastle are marked on Ruff Lane to the NW of the junction. This is consistent with the idea that Waterworks House was towards the top of Scarth Hill Lane, but it certainly doesn’t prove it.

Same idea but the upper map is a 25 inch map from ~1920s and the lower map is the same as the upper map from the previous reply. Lots of changes.

This overlaid map view uses a mid-20th century large scale OS map. Slide the slider to reveal the modern view (satellite) showing the modern tower.

This shows that there was no house at that time in the position of the ‘new’ tower. I was hoping to see a Waterworks House labelled here, but it was not to be.

PETTY SESSIONS —Wednesday
(Before Messrs P Kane, M Corry and J J Benison)
...
TRESPASS CASE.
Pat Bannon summoned his cousin John Bannon for allowing 9 head of asses to trespass on his land at Toberlyon on the 16th and 17th inst. To the defendant—The road doesn't divide my land from yours. The public have no right of way through the gate. There's a style for them to cross. Delendant—Will your worships adjourn this case till next court day, and I wiil bring forward witnesses. I proffered to give Mr Magarvey 5s, and send a car for him to come up to look at it. I also proffered Pat Bannon money for the trespass, and he wouldn't take it. Plaintiff—You only offered me 6d. Mr Benison—The defendant is in the habit of leaving this gate open, and it's a shame to see friends and neighbours disputing in this way. Mr Magarvey said be saw the place, and the mearings didn't appear to bo properly made up. Mr Benison—We will adjourn this case till next court day for the mearings to be put in proper repair.

Notes
The word 'mearings' refers to boundaries.

It isn't explained anywhere in the whole court report who Mr Magarvey might be.

Tubberlion featured in a murder case in 1856 — the murder of Miss Hinds. Terence Banon [sic] was a witness.

A land sale from 28 May 1886: Cavan Weekly News and General Advertiser, refers to:

Here’s a map view of an 1880s map showing a candidate, here spelled Toberlyan. Move the slider to reveal the modern map where the spelling is also Toberlyan.

London and Middlesex / Re: Unable to find death record for Alfred Edgar JEWSON
« on: Sunday 03 August 25 08:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello, and welcome to Rootschat. I’m responding mainly to bump this up the list. I have had a quick look for the death but have not found anything conclusive.

I did note that in 1891 there are visitors in the Jewson household —Arthur and Elizabeth Aldgate — and in 1901 Alfred Jewson’s youngest son Edwin, 17, is recorded as nephew in the household of the same Arthur and Elizabeth Aldgate. This is consistent with Alfred having died before 1901, but it isn’t very strong evidence.

On the same day a little boy, son of Mrs. Culy butcher of the Market-hill, met with a serious accident. He was standing in a cart in the High-street, when a waggon came in contact with it, and the force of the concussion threw the boy out, and the wheel of the cart passed over his neck. We understand the boy was a good deal hurt.

On Saturday last, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, some expert rogue stole a leg of mutton from the shop of Mrs. Culy, butcher, which being in the middle of the street adjoining the Market-place, it is surprising how he succeeded in escaping detection, especially as the family were in a room adjoining, and it being market day, there were necessarily a great number of persons in the Market opposite the shop.
