The 1911 census shows my WARD ancestors living at LAMB WOOD CHAPEL,HADDLESEY,SELBY. Does anyone know anything about this address and if it still exists?
CHARLES WARD is shown on the 1911 census as a coachman/gardener and is married with one son George Maurice aged 5months. There are other WARD relatives shown at the same address.
Hope you can help.

Hi
There is a Chapel Haddlesey, Selby.
Google that and a map will come up for it. I will have a look for Lamb Wood within.

Hi
In 1881 at Chapel Haddlesey, there was a farm called Lamb Wood, I am wondering if there is some connection to that. I haven't found anything on today's maps on line so I will see if we have an OS map I can check

Hi
Had a look on an OS map 1:25000 scale and there is no Lamb Wood farm that I can see. There are a few little buildings showing which are probably now disused. Sorry.
In 1881 after the farm was a rectory so if you could find an old map it would be somewhere round about there. There is a place of worship on the map at the junction near Fox Lane.

Hi Evie, Thanks for all your look-ups.The address now makes more sense with the commas in the correct places!!I`m not familiar with that area at all but I do have relatives who live near York so we will explore on my next visit.
I notice that you have WARDS of York in your surname list.Could there be any link with mine? My grandmother GERTRUDE CHARLOTTE BLANCHARD was married to CHARLES WARD.
Cheers, Cyndy

Hi Cyndy
Good luck with your search when you visit York.
I don't think I have any Charles Wards in my tree but I will certainly get in touch if I find I do. My Wards originated from Cheshire and then moved to the Wath on Dearne, Mexborough area.
Regards Evie

A little update on Lambs Wood farm.
I contacted someone from Chapel Haddlesey Council who asked an 80year old friend if he knew of the farm. He remembers that the access road to the farm was east of Eastfield Farm.It was a half mile long access from the road to Temple Hirst,north, away from the river,near the boundary with Temple Hirst.So hopefully when I visit my relatives who used to live near Selby we might be able to pinpoint the area.
Evie could you explain your mention of a `rectory` in one of your messages. Was the rectory near the farm or was the farm at one time a rectory?
Thanks,
Cyndy

Hi Cyndy
Sorry I probably confused you. When I looked at the 1881 census to try and pinpoint where Lambs Wood Farm was I looked at addresses at either side of that particular image i.e of Lambs Wood Farm. The next place the enumerator visited was the Rectory so I gathered that would be the nearest building to where the farm once stood. Really it was just another place which could possibly be still standing or a building that someone could remeber it being there. Sometimes they have been renovated and called the Old Rectory or something similar.

Hi Cyndy
Thanks for the update on Lambs Hill Farm. I had a look at google maps and interestingly the directions you were given seem to fit quite well as Eastfield Farm is right near Fox Lane where I saw the place of worship on the map and of course possibly the Rectory nearby.

I have a copy of the 1940 Selby almanac/directory, and Lamb's Wood Farm was still there in Chapel Haddlesey then. It was a family called Westaby living there in 1940.
I've also checked the 1964 and 1970 directories, but can't find any reference to that address by then

Thanks for the info. on Lambs Wood Farm. I`m not sure how long my grandparents and their family lived and worked at the farm or when they left.I think that they were in Wales in 1926 but still visited their Yorkshire relatives.Perhaps by the 1960`s Lambs Wood ceased to be a working farm.Are there any buildings on the site of the original farm?
