Hi

I am wondering if anyone knows if there was a derwent road in Chesterfield in 1934 in particular i am interested in no 33. What kind of housing was on that Road
 

Hi

I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Just downloaded my grt Grandfathers military records from Ancestry and it says he was in the east lancs regiment sometime (don't know when) before he joined up in April 1915.

His name when he joined up in Edinburgh was Charles Walton though I'm not sure if this is his real name.

I have his marriage cert & I know where he was from 1897 till about 1940.
But cant seem to track him down before or after. On the census he has place of birth England (very helpful)

was wondering if there would be anyway of tracing him through the East Lancs regiment 

I can't trace him through his parents (George Walton master mason Mary Walton ms Calashaw) according to marriage cert. My Nana told me he was the black sheep of a well to do family and that he was thrown out by his father and changed his name when he got to Scotland.

Any help would be appreciated Thankyou

Hi All,

I wonder if any one can help at all.

I have just found two female relations from Hawick Scottish Borders on the 1851 census in Edinburgh.

Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, Edinburgh St Stephen, Midlothian.

I was just wondering how this would have been paid for and a bit more about the school etc.
The girls were from a family of Ag Labourers so I don't think the parents would have had money to send these children to this school.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you Lesley
