Brockbushes

[ADR68]

Hi there, whilst doing my family tree my ancestors lived in Brocksbushes 1765-1800, does anybody know if this a farm or a hamlet, i know there a fruit farm there now?
Maybe someone can shed light on this place.

Thanks
Allan Robson.

It appears the address of the current Brocksbushes is Brocksbushes Farm, Northumberland NE43 7UB.

The website is  http://www.brocksbushes.co.uk/

if that helps to identify if it is yours.

There is a Northumberland Farms Index from c1860 but I can not find it at the moment

Do you know where your ancestors lived from their marriage, baptisms of their children or deaths ?

Ah well I think the Brocksbushes I found is the same one as your ancestors lived at.

If you use the post code I gave above you will find it is near corbridge

Thanks for your reply it is the same Brocksbushes, but was it just the farm or a little hamlet near Corbridge?

Thanks

Hi Allan 

Here it is in the 1860's http://maps.nls.uk/view/102346479#zoom=5&lat=6767&lon=5410&layers=BT
it looks like a collection of farm buildings to me, rather than a hamlet

In 1841 there were three households there: a farmer, and an assortment of Agricultural Labourers.

Thanks Jen I have been there and had a coffee and cake and picked Strawberries, it seemed to me to be a farm and wondered if that's all it was.
