Lord St was the home of the Overseers and later the different incarnations of the council right up to the point when the WLDC moved to Marshall's Yard.

The following is a copy and paste of details from about 15 years ago (hence no 1911 census details) I was doing some research into Fanny Craven;

1871 the family were living on Trinity Street, the household includes Sarah Ledger recorded as mother in law to Joseph and a correseponding record shows the marriage of Joseph Craved to Ann Ledger in Boston in 1856.

1881 and living on Lord Street.
Joseph CRAVEN Head M Male 48 Gedney, Lincoln, England Vestry Clerk & C Solicitors Clerk
Ann CRAVEN Wife M Female 49 Wigtoft, Lincoln, England Vestry Clerk & C Solicitors Clerk Wife
Annie Elizth. CRAVEN Dau Unm Female 22 Gainsbro, Lincoln, England Music Teacher
Fanny Maria CRAVEN Dau Unm Female 14 Gainsbro, Lincoln, England Scholar

1891 Census living at 12 Lord Street
Joseph is a vestry clerk/solicitors clerk
Ann is an insurance agent/house agent
Fanny is an assistant vestry clerk

1901
19 Morton Terrace
Joseph, solicitors clerk/insurance agent, superintendant registrar of births, marriages and deaths

The 1930 Kelly's Directory of Gainsborough shows Miss Fanny Craven resident at 19 Morton Terrace.
Also in 1930 Lancelot Crook Iveson lived at "The Hollies", Morton Terrace.


Additional comments on the thread mentioned the Iveson surname linked to #7 and #12 Lord St and family members being recorded as solicitors and also a registrar of births, marriages and deaths.

Lincolnshire Registration services supply scans of the original registers for the entire county but do ask for the venue name/location when it's a marriage event. As that is known in this case they should be able to locate the register and supply a copy, I've used them regularly over the years and in most cases I've received the cert within a couple of days. 

My fully sourced and documented 1c looks great until you look at our shared cM. I could have bought a dozen  dna kits with the money I have spent on certs containing nothing but lies and false fathers.

They are rolling out changes to the match lists, pages of matches rather than scrolling down a list (just select how are displayed per page)

Coloured dots replaced with squares. Still just 24 colours but each can be used multiple times to create more groups. Group names can now include letters, numbers and emojis,  they appear with the first letter or number of the group name so you could have multiple red groups but identify them by the first letter/number. Also  edit groups, relationships & notes from the match list page

Several different links on the forums and social media though I've had no luck getting any to work.

I just can't fathom which sibling in the generation Henry and Sarah Ann belong to is my ancestor and those two in particular have so many question marks over them. 

Yeah Sarah is a bit of a slippery character, if her hubby died in 1892 it begs the question who the father of James b1895 and  Ivy b1897 would be. 
There's an 1897 ref of a James Hudson Dobbs in Lincoln, no maiden name recorded , also an Ivy in 1897 in Lincoln again no maiden name on the GRO website. Ivy was baptised and the register states her father is Christopher (deceased), and mother Sarah Ann.

I didn't bother with the certs as I doubt they are accurate though I do have the cert for Cornelius b1879, at least that one does say mum Sarah Ann Wesseldine, spinster.
