i have gotten the death certificate for Esme Burley, her address at time of death was 56 Hawksley Avenue, Hillsborough. Does anyone know what cemetery is best to contact to see if she was buried there? thanks!

wow i'd totally forgotten about that!  thanks for reminding me!  no i never managed to find them after that last post, my friend asked me to look for him and i just didnt remember i'd looked before, if this one throws nothing new up in the next 24 hours i'l delete this one, 

This from another entry

ah thank you!!  thats decisive!!  much appreciated!

Can anyone work out what the top occupation is plz on this 1911 census,

Its Collector Railway  something

the transcription said a/cs   ??

could it be short for accounts/ artefects, etc ??

thanks

I know this is a long shot!......but i am currently researching the former crossing house on the LD&ECR's Beighton Branch, which has now closed, not to be confused with the current crossing that is still there 100 yds along the road over the Robin Hood Line.

The building seems to have been known as The Gatehouse and Norwood Cottage

I am trying to find out who was the very first crossing attendant to have worked in the house, the line opened to traffic in 1896 so this should be on the 1901 and 1911 census, but i dont know how to find the entry from the little information i have!

As i said it was called The Gatehouse or Norwood Cottage it seems, although Whaley Crossing has also been found as a name for the crossing itself, the road i believe to be called Mag Lane but again, the current residents tell me some mail arrives addressed to Norwood Lane!..

can anyone give me any pointers on how i might be able to find this property on the 1901 and 1911 censusses plz? 

the property i am trying to find the resident of is the left hand one on the map highlighted in blue. the right hand side one is Norwood Sidings. thanks!!
