Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Writing on back of 1900 photo?
« on: Tuesday 15 November 16 22:37 GMT (UK)  »
Thankyou all so much, it could be 100 Sherwood street,  although the number are very faint. I will look and see if there were any miners in the family also.
I agree, one answer throws up another question, will our searches ever end? ( I hope not, i am enjoying it).

Thankyou so much to everyone for taking the trouble to decipher the writing and also for all the suggestions. It probably is ,
Mans. Wood. (Mansfield Woodhouse)
Mans.
Notts

The photo is a studio photo with no background, just 4 adults, a child of about 10 and a baby on the gr gr grandmother's knee. (or what was assumed to be our gr gr grandmother?) It has no evidence of ever being posted as there is no stamp mark or PO franking?
I am a little surprised to find the split postcard's were from 1902? The baby, is said to be my grandfather who was born in 1900? Now there is doubts about who the baby is?

One thing i can do is to see if there is a link to Mansfield Woodhouse though, that might throw up clues as to anyone related ever that lived there.

could it be an address?

Could Mans: Wood: be Mansfield Woodhouse?

Were they from Nottinghamshire?

Not that i know of, but  Whitehaven and Lancaster are areas that they lived in, unless it was sent to some relative in Mansfield?

I have a photo of my gr grandparents and their baby (my grandfather) and one set of gr gr grandparents. On the back there is some writing which no one in the family can read, I hope someone here can decipher it for me.
Sorry, it's a bit grubby from all the handling over the years.

Many thanks.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look Up please; Ridens/Rddens
« on: Friday 13 May 16 23:30 BST (UK)  »
Gibel; No, I am afraid  I don't have her marraige certificate as I don't know the date of her marriage. I only know she married William John Appleby, ( from Whitehaven) They had 2 son's, James and Henry, but sadly James died aged 7.
They split up and were not living together, as in 1877, my 4 x gr grandfather was tried for her attempted murder, they were living in Bridge Lane. Then she is recorded in later census' as living with grandparents.   That's all I know.
However I didn't know there were so many Ridins & all the varients of the name to get so mixed up with.
Many thanks again to everyone who has tried/trying to sort this out for me.
Rosie

Thankyou Rosie99, this looks promising, I know she had a sister called Ellen.
But I found last night on Lan'c BMD, a David Ridins married to an Elizabeth Wilson in 1844? Which I thought could have been her parents?

Thankyou Rosie99 & GrannyM for your replies. There is something to think about?
Maybe the Ridens/Riddens name was misspelt or her birth date was out on the 1881 census and that could well be her?
Sorry I should have included her husband's name. She married my 4 x gr grandfather William John Appleby, from Whitehaven, and by all accounts it wasn't a harmonious marriage because he tried to kill her in 1877!

The Lighter Side / Re: Heir raising moment -spooky or what ?!?
« on: Wednesday 11 May 16 11:14 BST (UK)  »
Yes that's spooky.
I discovered my grandparents married on Christmas Eve 1904, my son was born on Christmas Eve.
I also discovered one of my grandfathers was born on 17th April, my wedding anniversary!

I am at a complete standstill regarding my 4 x gr grandmother Maragret Ridens/Riddens. b.1845 Lancaster, but I can find no birth for her in Lancaster.
Hoping someone can find something about her for me.
I would be grateful for any information.

Thankyou.
