Nottinghamshire / Re: John WILSON and Sarah WARREN married Shelford 31 October 1754

Fantastic Dizzifish

I'm so grateful.  Your info has confirmed my family connection with the hamlet of Newton goes back even further.

In addition I now know that the girl's name "Lydia" (or sometimes "Lydie") was present in at least 4 generations

Many thanks

Nottinghamshire / John WILSON and Sarah WARREN married Shelford 31 October 1754

John Wilson and Sarah Warren are in my direct line but I have been unable to trace either of their baptisms.

I should be so grateful if someone could do a look up on the local parish registers for me

Happy New Year to all

Nottinghamshire / Re: Nottingham on Film

Hi folks

I saw the films at the Meadows Library a few weeks ago.  The tram ride from Station Street to Milton Street in 1903 (?) is amazing - a Mitchell and Kenyon film - hope that appears on the Mace production

Nottinghamshire / Re: Nottingham Rowing club records.
« on: Thursday 31 March 11 14:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Very quick one from me :- I think the club retained the use of the old Nottingham Borough Arms as part of their badge.  When the borough became a city the flanking Foresters were replaced by stags.

I used to work at the Town Clerk's Office in the 1960's and can recall that some ancient letter heads were still around in those days

Great photos !!

ps :- I went to Mundella School in the sixties and remember the club as a school rower - I also recall the "Brit" as a wonderful 60's pop venue

Hi Kate

I have looked at the Notts FA Junior Shield and it does bear the name of Dale Rovers on it.

Interestingly the Shield was donated to Notts FA by Moss Empires in 1903 and was originally named the Notts FA Empire Shield.

It has an engraved centre piece showing a football match in progress.

Hi Kate

I think I have identified the shield in the photo.

Having looked more closely at the players, the majority of them seem quite young.

I therefore looked at the winners of the Nottinghamshire FA Youth Shields.  A new youth football shield was awarded from season 1919-20 and called the Notts Junior Shield (played for by Under 16's).  Dale Rovers won the Shield in three successive seasons 1921-22, 1922-23 and 1923-4.

The Shield is still presented and I have asked a colleague who works at Notts FA to examine the shield for me to confirm the above.

Finally I have spoken to a couple of very old gentlemen who used to be local referees.  One of the can remember refereeing Dale Rovers up to the 1960's when the club played at the White City Greyhound Track on Daleside Road, Nottingham.  This was south of Sneinton and close to the River Trent.

The club no longer exists but you may get some more info. if the local paper prints the photo

Hi

They were fallen angels last night !

The Nottingham Thursday League folded a few years ago.  You are right, the teams were made up of half holiday shop workers, City and County Police teams, ditto Fire Brigade, RAOC or maybe REME (Chilwell), etc. etc.

I used to watch games on the Victoria Embankment playing fields after school.

Hi Maccalenny
I'm still making enquiries about Dale Rovers though a possible source of information could be the "Bygones" Section in the Nottingham Evening Post.  David Lowe is the editor to whom you can submit photos with a request for info.  His e-mail address at the paper is david.lowe@nottinghameveningpost.co.uk.

Hello Kate and greyingrey

Yes I agree that Sneinton Dale was likely to have been the club's home area - but I'm still on the case.

The "Red" indeed has a Nottingham football connotation !

The Fred comes from my school nickname but is also my middle name.

Hi

Dale Rovers were indeed a Nottingham club.

I can't yet identify the Shield in the photograph but I can tell you that the club won the Nottinghamshire FA Junior Challenge Cup in 1926-7

I'll see what else I can find out.
