Hi Noreen

My mother-in-law's name was Ann (Nancy) Dobson - her mother's maiden name was Archer.

I seem to have most of Ann's details, going back a few generations, however, if anyone has any bits of information regarding her, it woud be most welcome.

I was really asking if I could find a photograph of the pub where she was born, The Dun Cow Inn at Fatfield.   Also wondered if anyone knew of an artist from that area in the 1950's by the name of D. Green.

cheers

Hi , I have just found Roots , I was born in Fatfield in Biddick Inn Terrace , and I am doing my family history .
My Nana had the fish shop opposite the terrace , my dad was a friend of Alfred Hind who wrote the book and I would love to find a copy .
My family were the Cook's and Fletchers .
I love Fatfield and the worm hill.

Hi,was that the little fish shop against the river,i remember one stood on it,s own built more like a shack is the best way to describe it.Nonetheless,the fish and chips were  something else.It was more or less down the bottom of castle street toward the river.Every year the fair would arrive and plant itself in front of the fish shop.Last time i can remember being there cliff richard was the main man singing summer holiday.Long time ago.yours Richard spear.

Dad told me that when the road in front of your house was being repaired the workmen found a tunnel running under the road. Because the farm house is so old did you find a cellar or anything unusual
