Kent / Who lived in this house?
« on: Tuesday 11 August 20 12:34 BST (UK) »
Both my son and are are keen to locate the people who have lived in our houses before us. One house was built in 1911 and the other in the 1880s. I've done a lot of research on my own family where I am searching for specific people but I'm wondering where to begin in looking for the occupants of the houses. I've tried typing in the addresses on Ancestry but am just getting lots of random records for people in Broadstairs rather than the specific address. Any help or advice would be welcome!

Northumberland / Blind Asylum at Spittal Tower, Newcastle
« on: Sunday 07 June 20 08:02 BST (UK) »In the 1841 census there is a ten year old named John Whitfield listed as a resident at the Blind Asylum in Spittal Tower in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Any information about this place would be welcome. For child residents, would there be information about their families and their health conditions anywhere? And how could such information be accessed?
Would there have been the possibility of residents of the Asylum not actually being blind, but being there (even temporarilly) for other reasons?
This boys father died before he was born, and his mother then remarried. The age and name fit, as does the location - but there is no later mention of him being blind.
Thank you

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage of Rev Dr Theodore Waterland (1681-1764)

Ok. Thanks so much for looking. Since posting that I've found a Mary Wheatly who married Joseph Yate and then a Joseph Yate died in London a couple of years before Mary Yate married Theodore Waterland. Theodore Watwrland is a pretty unique name, fortunately..... so I will keep digging. Thanks very much for your help. Alan

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage of Rev Dr Theodore Waterland (1681-1764)
« on: Monday 11 May 20 14:27 BST (UK) »Is there any possibility of getting information from the actual source rather than the transcription of it? It is Mary WHEATLEY or WHEATLY than I am related to. Her brother was also a clergyman in London so it all fits together - except now for this missing link. I'm so annoyed with myself that I haven't got a record of where I got the detail from! I cant have imagined it. Could Wheatley have been misread as Yate? Thanks so much for your help

« on: Monday 11 May 20 13:02 BST (UK) »I am trying to locate the marriage for this man and am going round in circles. I believe he was married to Mary Wheatley but I cannot now find the source of that information.
I cannot find anything on Ancestry or Family Search. I don't have a subscription to Find My Past but there looks like something hopeful in 1726!
Thanks, Alan
