Derbyshire / Slater Greengrocer van Staveley
« on: Thursday 02 August 18 10:17 BST (UK)  »
We are trying to find information on the Slater greengrocery van that was serving the area of Staveley in Derbyshire around 1960-70's.  My husband can remember a man passing him a box of veg and being told to take to his gran (she was a Slater prior to marriage).

Most family when asked can remember the van but not who owned it.  Does anyone have information on this van or even an old photo please.
Fingers crossed - Sue

Derbyshire / Name changes??
« on: Wednesday 14 February 18 15:42 GMT (UK)  »
Henry Steward born 1837 in Corton Denham, Somerset moved his family to Staveley in Derbyshire in 1874 to work at the new Speedwell mine.
When they appear on 1881 he is listed with the family name as Olman, in 1891 the name changes again to Horseman.  Henry dies in 1900 but the family still show on 1901 census as Horseman. they finally revert back to their true surname of Steward on 1911 census. 
There is no-one left alive that can tell us why the name changes,  would anyone have any ideas please.  Our thoughts were dialects but not sure.

The Common Room / R.E.M.E how to find my Uncle
« on: Thursday 20 October 16 17:34 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping someone may be able to point me in right direction,  I am looking for my Uncle, Albert C Essex born 1914 in Ramsgate, but I cannot find his army records, I have been told he moved to London to be with my Aunt Dorothy Elms where she worked in munitions during WW2.
We do know he did not see active service but was part of R.E.M.E.  I have tried Ancestry, FindMyPast, and the forces website but no luck.
