Mayors of Northampton

Hi

Anyone out there know where there might be a list of past Mayors of Northampton or have that information to hand themselves?

Interested in 1930's in particular

Thanks

There is a list of Northampton mayors in the book
 'Northampton 1835-1985 Shoe Town, New Town'
by Cynthia Brown.

What name are you hoping to find?

Thanks for that Marilyn

Was hoping to find the Name (John) Edward Allitt sometime in the 1930's possibly 1933/4.  Do you have a copy of this book? is it still available?

Edward Allitt was mayor in 1933.

I don't know whether the book is still available new. It is published by Phillimore, copywright 1990 Northampton Borough Council,
ISBN 0 85033 767 4

Marilyn,

Would you be kind enough to look in your Shoe Town book index (if it has one) for a William Hollis (Wiliam Griffiths Hollis)? He was a shoe manufacturer in Northampton in the late 19th century. Thanks

No HOLLIS in the index - sorry

OK Thanks Marilyn for looking

Hi Margaret

I found an obituary to your relative Edward Allitt today in the
Northampton Independent Newspaper.

I am afraid that I can not send you a copy as all the Newspaper
Articles from the Northampton Mercury (1700's upwards) and the Northampton
Independent and Chronicle and Echo and Mercury and Herald are still
under copyright and therefore can not be passed on or charged for    

I am going to watch W.D.Y.T.Y A. in a while but if I have time I will type it for you
tomorrow as it is a large obituary or give you the date and details and you could
ask for a copy yourself .     

If you would prefer the date and year I will P.M. it to you just say.

Cheers Sandy
