Hi Lizzie

Just saw yr posting on here and noticed you are doing DaCosta surname in Hull. I have a family of that name but they dropped the Da bit. I have an Arthur Costa son of Joseph who was a blacksmith off Hessle Road. Arthur married Martha Ince and they had a shop in Manchester DStreet.

Any connections?

P.S Does anybody know where I can get a list of slum clearance dates etc for property namely 4 St Leonards Grove Hessle Road. It was a tiny terrace between Eastbourne St & Westbourne Street or has anyone come across a photo of this area. I know the carpet shop (Leightons?) was built across front where terrace used to be.

Many thanks
Pam

Hi Pam

Welcome to Rootschat.  Not sure why I'm not getting notifications of the threads I'm interested in.  Anyway, the Da Costa I am interested in finding is the mother of my g.grandfather George William Wright.  He was born in Bethnal Green sometime between 1855/65, but probably 1857/8.  I cannot find a birth for him or find him on any census until he turns up as the father of my gran who was born in 1884 in Hull.  My gran's mother was shown as being called Wright (she had previously been married and her married name and maiden name are also shown on the birth certificate.  After that George is with the family on the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census and on my g.gran's death cert, he calls himself "Widower".

I have no other info about him, apart from the fact that until after the 1901 census, he was a fisherman.  On the 1901 and subsequent census and until his death in 1935 he ran a shop on Hessle Road. 

I know that George Wright's mother was apparently called Da Costa, but that is the only infor my aunt can (or will) give me.  This Da Costa lady was either Spanish or Portuguese.  If any of this rings a bell, I'd be delighted to learn more.

Hi pinkgrass

This link http://www.rootschat.com/links/07ya/
should give you a flavour of the area as Clyde Street is one of the many little side streets down Hawthorn Avenue.

Hi

I'm new to the site and came across this thread, in particular the enquiry from Ybellygirl about Walter Dixon.  Ancestry have a Walter Dixon listed in the WW1 Service History section with around 17 images of his service record.  His address on signing up for the East Yorks Regt. is given as 6 Cromwell Street Hull and his next of kin is his sister Mrs Florence Williamson, Brigg Road, howsham, via Lincoln.  could this be your g. g. uncle?

Regards
Dave

[ybellygirl]

Yes it is him.  Thanks very much.  I found the war record just before Christmas

[gricer4321]

That's great, I'm glad you found him.
