Hello there,

Does anyone please know exactly where this street was?
One of my 3x great uncles Samuel Pennington was baptised on the 10th of August 1883 at St Peter's Church in Radford. For the residence of his father at the time, FreeReg gives it as "7, Dale's Row."

Was it anywhere near to Player Street?

Any information would be gratefully accepted.

Thank you. 

Hello there,

Does anyone know where this place is/was please?

My 4x great grandad John Lamond (named "Lamont" on the '51 census), was at this address during the 1851 Census.

He was there with wife Christian/Christina, and children William, Margaret, Mary, John and Ellen. His other children not in the home during this census were Ann and James.


His daughter Margaret, my 3x great married George Sector at Fetteresso on the 23rd of April 1857. For Margaret's residence at the the time of marriage it is written "Crofkey/Crosley" (it's hard to read which), in Fetteresso.


Ann, the daughter of John Lamond, married William Lawrie at Maryculter on the 11th of February 1858. The residence at the time of marriage for Ann, from Scotlandspeople website, was also Crofkey/Crosley.

John Lamond was living at Cookney by the time of the 1861 Census.

Any information would be gratefully accepted.

Thank you very much.

Hello There,

There seems to be, in the original documents relating to this person, conflicting information about the age of him.
The original image is on Find My Past (This is the transcript which can take you to the original):
https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBM%2FWO119%2F41704

It starts off with this Henry Joy (if it is indeed the same one) being discharged from the 82nd Regiment of Foot at Cork, on the 10th of June 1807.
He was discharged unfit for service at Cork, and was taken to (?) Kilmainham Hospital.
The Surgeons Certificate stated:
"Henry Joy of the 82nd Regiment has been affected for the last eleven months with swelled legs(?next part hard to read then I think it mentions something about a fever)."
In very small writing on the same page Henry stated that he had "received his pay up until the 24th of June."

The description on the first page describes him as:
5 feet 7 and 3 quarter inches tall. A Flax Dresser. Born in Bridport, Dorset.

If you fast forward the 3rd page in the image there is (a?) Henry Joy being discharged from the 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons at Dorchester. It is dated the 24th of June 1812.
He only served 273 days up to that point with the Dragoons.
The reason for him being discharged was because of "Dropsy." If I am not mistaken this could also be another name for swelling.

It states he was born "in the parish of Netherbury in or near the town of Bridport." It states he was 5 feet 8. This is only quarter of an inch off 5 feet 7 and 3 quarters. And he and was also a Flax Dresser.

There is a note at the bottom of the discharge page from the 11th Light Dragoons which states:
"Henry Joy served 2 years in the (?) Militia and was admitted a pensioner (?) at Kilmainham Hospital with (?) 82nd Foot on the 24th of June 1807."

The same page shows his service history:
Artillery Drivers - 1 October 1800 - 17th Nov 1801. What is "Artillery Drivers" please?
It is hard to read in what corps he was put down from the discharge in 1807, you can only read the last part of it. But it does look like "Artillery" to me, or the last part of that word. It states 12 years with "Artillery" on his discharge page from 1807. But surely (please see below) this must mean 12 months instead?
Then from 16th Dec - 24th June (when he was made a pensioner at Kilmainham Hospital) he was in the 82nd Regiment of Foot.
The discharge service history on the first page from 1807, does also seem to state that he served two years in the militia.
He was with the 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons from the 1st of July 1811 - 29th of March 1812.

Now I come to the real point of my topic:
Apart from a quarter of an inch difference in height from when he was discharged in 1807, the only difference at least which I can see is his age:

His age when he was discharged from 82nd Regiment of Foot on the 10th of June 1807 was  (or seems to have been put down as) 45 years.
But his age when Henry was discharged from the 11th Light Dragoons 0n the 24th of June 1812, was put down as being "about Twenty Seven." I do not have a clue what is going on here.
If he was about 27 in 1812, that means he would have been around 15 in 1800 when he joined the "Artillery Drivers."
But if he was 45 in 1807, that means he would have been around 50 in 1812.

Another thing I have a query about is his service history from Henry's discharge in 1812:

His total service history was put down as 3 years 147 days.

But in the section "In East or West Indies included in the foregoing total" it is written 14 years 273 days. Surely this must mean months?

Were the 11th Light Dragoons in the East/West Indies from July 1811 - March 1812? I thought they might have been in Spain during this time/ at least some of them?
Henry was in Captain Lutyen's Troop of 11th light Dragoons.

Any information relating to the above would be gratefully accepted.

Thank you very much.
