Norfolk Completed Look up Requests / Re: Help to read place name - Norwich census

This is on the facing page (folio 4A, P26). Is it the same? I can make out "Court" as the second word.

Hi,
Sorry, didn't point out that the Census reference is in the image name:
HO107-0790-06-4A-25. Just realised that "4A" is on the facing folio so Page 25 is probably folio 4.

Norfolk Completed Look up Requests / Help to read place name - Norwich census - COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 07 May 09 21:36 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can anyone help read this place name that is on the 1841 Census? The City is Norwich and the parish is St Peter Hungate. I can read the Elm Hill but want to decypher the writing above that. Maybe it's something West?
Census extract is Crown Copyright, The National Archives.

The Lighter Side / Re: Anyone Used Google Street View?
« on: Friday 24 April 09 23:32 BST (UK) »
Just to be pedantic, you can't see any house detail from satellite photographs. Google Earth and the like use satellite images together with aerial photographs taken from light aircraft. That's why when you zoom in on rural areas, you get the message that the image doesn't exist. The long distance satellite doesn't discriminate but photographing from an aircraft costs money so it's only viable to do heavily built-up areas.

The Lighter Side / Re: Another local expression - do you have a variant?

Mention of ginnel reminds me gunnel (both presumably derived from general as in general access). Jitty is fairly common and the Nottingham equivalent is twitchel.
Other odds and ends I've heard from my days in Nottingham include:
A word in your shell-like (your ear)
Mardy (easily upset or sulking)
A blind man would like to see it (the job or quality of finish will do)
A gnat's (a very small measurement; in full, a gnat's boll***)
Sarnie (sandwich) for your snap (lunch) in your snap box
Cob (southerners say roll, others have balm or bap)
Shiny ar** (suit-wearing manager)
Ankle biter (baby, crawling infant)
Playing hookey, capping off (truant)
Jagging off (leaving work early when job done)
Were you born in a barn? (shut the door)
A croggy (a ride on the crossbar of a bicycle)
Mash tea then let it brew or get a brew on (suspect many variants on this)
What goes round comes round
Nesh (feel the cold more than an average person)
Rag up (clean your tools and prepare to finish the day's work)
Give it a coat of looking at (inspect a faulty item)
Bread and lard island (West Bridgford, an area south of the Trent, thought to be "posh")

Nottinghamshire / Re: Martin
« on: Monday 06 April 09 21:19 BST (UK) »
Hi there Dragon,
I have a William George Martin, b1815, Lyons, France (not verified yet) married to Sophia Marsh Chr 25-Aug-1816, St Mary's, Nottingham.
Children:
William George, b abt 1835/36 (YOU SUGGEST 1845 - WE NEED TO CHECK SOURCES), Nottm, m to Emma Mills, 5 children listed. One of these, Emma Augusta, b abt 1873 married Herbert Hattersley (b Sheffield abt 1872). One of their sons, Frederick Roy Hattersley, married Enid Brackenbury and had a son Roy in 1932 (former Deputy Leader of Labour Party).
John Francis, b abt 1837, skant information.
Robert Ignatious, b 03-Aug-1839, Chr 18-Aug-1839, St Barnabas, Nottm. Married twice, Mary Ann Mann (2 sons) and Elizabeth Ann Baines (10 children).
Clara, b abt Mar-1841, Nottm. Believed to have married into Gerrard family (soapmakers).
Elizabeth, b abt 1848/49. Skant information; lodging at Narrow Marsh in 1851.
I found a William Martin in 1871 but Census said born L'pool. maybe an enumerator error if it should have been Lyons? I inherited someone else's "research" that suggested he was a lace draughtsman. BMD has a death entry 1890Q4 in Nottm, age 75, could be him. The same research suggests that William's father was b abt 1790, also in Lyons.
Robert Ignatious is my rellie. If on of the others is your rellie we probably need to swap more details.

One of my rellies, Richard Dexter and his wife Emma lived at 44 John Street in 1901 (Richard had also been boarding there in 1891). The Baldwin branch of the family, were at 52 John Street in 1891 and 1901. More of "my" Baldwins were at 88 John Street in 1881.

Mansfield Road, Sherwood is in the city, north of the centre. Likely cemetaries for city residents in recent times include Southern Cemetary (and crematorium) at Wilford Hill, Loughborough Road, West Bridgford, Notts. and Northern Cemetary, Bulwell, Nottingham. There is also a crematorium at Coventry Lane, Bramcote, a few miles west of the city.
