Hi, Everyone,
Thanks to being PM-ed about my gt-gt-gt-grandfather William FELL/S, I've now had my first look at his whereabouts for nearly 2 years, courtesy of my more recently acquired Ancestry subscription.
In both the 1841 and 1851 Censuses he is living at Little Morton, Babworth.
I notice that there is a Little Morton Farm mentioned in a modern day bus timetable of the area. William was a farm bailiff there in 1851, and I was wondering whether someone with local knowledge could tell me whether it is a working farm still today...
Very best wishes,
keith

Keith, if you don't get your answer by paulene's link , why not email the local library nearest to the farm and ask them about what the place is today. The local libraries i have found to be very helpful.

Hi, Paulene and Charlotte,
Thanks very much for trying to solve this one for me, and yes, I think it's a good idea to try contacting the local library to see whether they can help me...

Hi Keith and Charlotte,
If you have no luck with a local library (and it seems to be a remote area), you could try contacting the nearest samll post office - they usually know most people in the area, and where places are.

Keith, Paulene's suggestion of the PO is excellent- I'd go with that especially if you can somehow find their email address.
