Hello!

My family are from St Ives, and I recognise the surnames Kiddle and Aitken. I am more than happy to take photos of Bridge Street and East Road if you would like these for your records, although I don't know where River View is unfortunately! The Norris Museum has some fantastic records:

http://www.norrismuseum.org.uk/

as does the local library:

http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/leisure/libraries/directory/st_ives_library.htm

As the Kiddles family are so prominent in St Ives, there are likely to be newpaper records for when different members of the family were elected as Mayor, and information on the businesses.

If you would like me to look anything up for you, just let me know!

My second message! The India Offce Records at the Brirish Library in London says that you read more on Robert Aitken in Who was Who, Volume II page 11

I have followed these pages with some interest as my mother was the daughter of Cecil George Walsh, by his second marriage. His first marriage, as you would know, was to Ellen Lobb. I was born in India, in Jubblepore.

Hi Weech,I have followed these pages with interest, as I think we have a grandfather in common, in other words Cecil George Walsh was my grandfather also. My mother, Myrtle was his daughter from his second marriage to Lilias Gibson-Miller. Peacey

Hello, if you need to see an image, River View Inn,
go to Google, type in the Postcode, for this property, it
is Eairth, on the River Ouse, not St Ives, which is only up the Road,type in
postcode which is PE28-3PP, hover mouse over the Green Bushes, and
rotate the points of NORTH, SOUTH, EAST,and WEST,
this must be your property you  are looking for,I have
some records for St Ives, and been checking for your family,
but have not got very far, if anything.Margaret.

Hello Magslote

Unfortunately River View was eventually demolished and I understand two houses built in its place, one currently occupied by close descedants.

Baitken has all the accurate details.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

Hi Peacy

Ellen Lobb was my Great Uncle Robert Aitken's wife, Caroline Lobb's sister.

Both Weech and Baitken have a wealth of info on the Lobbs.  If you've not already read, try reading some of my other posts on the Aitkens as the Lobbs are mentioned there as well.

Cheers

Your offer of taking photographs is greatly appreciated.

Once I have found my notes, or Baitken has posted re the demolition of River View, it would be great to view some current pics.

Thank you
