Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Can someone pinpoint where this house is? NOW WITH PHOTO
« on: Monday 12 September 11 23:15 BST (UK)  »
It is most definitely the Norton in yorkshire, near malton. I know this because I still live there  :P . The photo was found here but she inherited most of the things from her parents so it may have come from them (parents also lived in Norton).

The change of name is what worries me because it could be literally anywhere in England so I cant really narrow it down to one location.

google street view is extremely handy for this though.

Two years on and I have yet to find where this godforsaken house is! Google street view has been a great help in looking up Ormonde cottage postcodes but still to no avail. Can anyone help??

Netti, the photo was taken before it would have been renamed though, so it could actually be the Clovelly house couldn't it? Or do you know that house and it isnt the one in question?

Philheeks - I emailed the site a couple of days ago, but havnt had a reply..

Thanks, so does that mean that ormonde cottage was renamed clovelly? or not?

I have no idea whether or not the Woods in question are any relation, I just thought it had to be likely seen as there were woods living in an 'ormonde cottage' . All the Wood side of my family are from up north so it seems weird that any would be in malvern wells, but who knows?!

Okay thanks very much :)
hmm what about checking poplar cottage or stanley cottage on later directories to see what the building in between is called?

Thanks, Nick.

Just seen this on google with flattish land and similar building?

I have just been looking on google earth, it is difficult to see whether or not the house is there.

I hope that the Ormonde cottage is actually the one in malvern and havnt just been on a wild goose chase!

Worcestershire / Anyone recognise this house in Malvern Wells?
« on: Saturday 24 July 10 23:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,
basically this is a photo I found at a relatives house, says ormonde cottage beneath the photo as you can see. Been trying to find where the house is situated for ages.
on 1911 census an ormonde cottage is to be found in malvern wells with a wood family living in it (same as mine)
So do any locals recognise it?

Hope someone can help.
Kind regards, Nick.
