Hi, I know there is a photo of Ruddington FWK with a possible ancestor of mine. The Pikes who lived on Distillery Street. I'll try and find it but think it's in a book about Ruddington.
JaneyCanuck, I have Calverton Coopers going back from GGrandad Samuel born 1863 and back to Robert in 1682.

I clicked in hope that someone, somewhere, knew who some of these faces may be.

I have a fair few ancestors who were Framework Knitters, mainly by the surname of Wagg and Pembleton. I'd love to find some documentation or pictures of my ancestors from this era. I believe the majority of my links worked in Arnold as opposed to Rudd. But I intend to visit the museum in the near future.

I know this photo quite well.

I am from Ruddington and a great many of my ancestors were FWK's. I have often wondered if this shows any of the Stevensons?

My GG Father was a FWK, but by 1882 had made good and become a shop keeper.

Cheers, Ade.
