Lincolnshire / Graceville, Eastgate, Deeping St James
« on: Saturday 04 September 10 17:32 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have any information on a property called Graceville located on Eastgate in Deeping St James at all? We know it existed in 1911 but do not know where on Eastgate it was and if it still exists?

Does anyone know a good way of finding out about a properties history other than censuses?

Thanks alot

Hi, my Great Grandmothers birth name was Edith Annie Chapman, she married James McCafferty in 1912. Her family's movements are extensive to say the least! In 1901 Edith and her family were all living in London, by 1911 her mother and some siblings were living in Whitley Bay (father missing) whilst Edith was resident in Shettleston (Holmcroft) at the time of her marriage in 1912. This has all been verified by certs and census data. 

I have gone back three more generations in both families but i would really like to know why she moved to Glasgow and whether she first went to Whitley Bay with the rest of her family.
Also where Holmcroft was/is if it is still there.

Memories from my living relatives says she worked for a man of the cloth but thats all we have.


Cheers

Hi Brian,

I don't have a name for my great grandmothers employer at the time. She was married someone called James Storry Barrowman but i'm unsure whether this was her employer. I'm trying to establish when she went to Holmcroft as we have no idea as to her movements since the 1901 census. I look forward to seeing the photo and any other info you may find out. Likewise if i find anything i will let you know.

Thanks

John

Hello, that is very interesting. My great grandmother was married in 1912 and she was a domestic servant, her usual residence was Holmcroft which i would assume was where she was also employed. Do you mind sending me scanned photos of the house? my e-mail address is (*). Do you know anything about Dr. A. Macfarlane, was he a medical doctor? There is a family tale that my g grandmother worked for a member of the clergy and she also got married there in 1912. The 1911 census would be most useful, unfortunately the Scottish one isn't out till next year.

Hope you can help

Regards

John

Hi,

Yes, i'm really interested in employees of Vergettes around the time of WW1, we know that an ancestor broke in horses and lived in Deeping St James at the time. We would like to know who he worked for, if it was Vergettes and if they were around at that time.
thanks for tall the info.

Thanks Kristy, this building looks like the place, it may be that my ancestor lived there and that it was simply her house.
thanks

In reply to Ricky, i'm pretty sure that marriage of 1849 is the right one and that Charles' wife is Elizabeth Meadows, as their son John Goodliffe is living with a Meadows family in 1881.

thanks alot

Thanks Ricky, that's great.
I need to piece it all together now and see what to investigate next, i've looked for Charles and Elizabeths marriage but to no avail.

I think you're right, I don't have charles and elizabeth on the 1851, if you could find them that would be great.

thanks
