Mountfield in Sandiway
« on: Monday 09 October 06 13:18 BST (UK) »
I am hoping someone knows a great deal about the village of Sandiway.
I have just received the Will of my Gt.Gt.Gt.Gt.Grandmother Ellin Mountfield (Nee Williamson) dated 1818.  In it she mentions "My Leased Tenement in Sandiway".   I never thought of a rural place like Sandiway having Tenements.
Can anyone throw any light on what she is referring to.  Also she bequeathed her Hand Mirror and "hand board" to her neice. (What is a hand board)
Any suggestion welcome. Huh

Hi Barbara,

Although from Cheshire I do not know a lot about Sandiway - but think that the word "Tenement" must refer to something different to it's present day use.

Have you had a look at  www.old-maps.co.uk - there is an 1881 map which show it nearly as I remember 40 odd years ago!!

Cheers

thanks Keith, I will have a look at the maps, and maybe find an old dictionary at the Library and see what that says.  Thanks again

Had a few meals/drinks in the Blue Cap - parents had a caravan around the corner!
