"Down Hall", Barton on Humber.

[RobinRedBreast]

Hello There,

While looking on the British Newspaper Archive, I came across a death notice for my 4x great granddad, John Hunter (1772-1855). He died on the 20th of April 1855. Here is part of the death notice:

"At Down Hall, Barton-on-Humber, on Friday night last, in the 83rd year of his age, John Hunter, Gent..,":

"www.the britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk: Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday April 27th 1855"

Does anyone please know where in Barton this was? The only "Down Hall" that I have been able to look up, was in Barrow. But that building was not built until around 1877.

Any information would be gratefully accepted.

Thank you very much.

I wonder have you found him on the census in 1851? 

If he has the same address surrounding properties might help narrow down where it was

It may be Downholme, Cherry Lane, Barton upon Humber

Info from googling;

Downholme is a vernacular farmhouse; it is thought to be the original Down Hall, the principal residence of one of the Manors of Barrow. The current structure appears as a vernacular farmhouse retaining evidence of a succession of improvements and alterations over the centuries.

1841/1851 Johns residence is just Saint Chad.

Wow!
Thank you very much for all of this information!
So it was Downholme, Cherry Lane Barton on Humber?
I knew that he and his family lived in St. Chad, Barrow, in the 1841 and 1851 Census returns.

Cheers.

Right thank you. I understand now, haha!:

The original "Down Hall", was Downholme in Barrow, "a vernacular Farmhouse" So it was not in Barton. That would make sense because my John Hunter had been a farmer.

And then in 1877, J W Beeton built Down Hall (a three storey house called Down Hall), against the east wall of Downholme.

This is one of John's son's Edward (Wilson) Hunter from "Freecen".
His address has been transcribed as: "Dason Hall, Barrow". I've not been able to look at the original image on FindMyPast but I'm guessing that it was probably "Down Hall". Edward was born 1809 in Barrow:
