It's a funny feeling seeing a place that your ancestors came from, when you haven't been there yourself.

No, sadly, I don't think any photos of the pub survive. I'm grateful just to see the photos of the street as it is now. I'd like to see Scarborough -one day, and maybe actually walk down the street.

I did find out more about my gg-uncle, from his divorce papers in TNA at Kew. It's a really sad story so I'm still curious for any more information about his life.

Thanks, Appleby, I'm really grateful for that. It's the first time I've seen the actual place any of my ancestors (before my grandparents) lived in. Smith was living in that pub in 1881 with his wife Margaret Ann (nee Hansom). The picture reminds me of streets I remember when I was a girl. I wonder what year it was taken?
