Armed Forces / military(?) marker post
« on: Wednesday 29 December 10 16:24 GMT (UK)  »
The attached photograph shows a post marked with an upward pointing arrow and the capital letter 'B' on one face.

It is in Norsey Wood in Billericay, Essex where the military had a presence in both World Wars.

I would be interested if anyone can shed some light on its purpose, please.

The Common Room / whole village census returns
« on: Wednesday 29 July 09 19:41 BST (UK)  »
I would like to find census (of various dates) details of all the inhabitants of a small village. Apart from the village name,  I have no  names or street names. Is this possible to do?
Grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you,
Tony

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Prestons Court Horney Middx
« on: Wednesday 17 September 08 20:26 BST (UK)  »
This is not a lookup request, but an enquiry to find out if anyone has come across this address in Hornsey,Middx - Prestons Court, off the High Street.
I have read in an edition of the Hornsey Historical Society's Bulletin that it was the most notorious slum in Hornsey.
Does it ring a bell with anyone, I wonder?

Thank you,
Tony

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / searching the census by way of a street name
« on: Thursday 11 September 08 20:41 BST (UK)  »
Is there a way of searching the census by means of a street name and registration district which I have from a birth certificate.
Name searches have been unsuccessful, but as I have this birth cert for the year before the census in question, I thought I might try my luck.
I would be most grateful for any advice! Thank you.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Hornsey N8
« on: Thursday 03 July 08 19:28 BST (UK)  »
I would be interested to hear from anyone who lives/has lived or has/had relatives living in North View and/or South View Rds in Hornsey. Or perhaps someone has come across them in their research.
I am also interested in Prestons Ct, which was off the High Street in Hornsey. It occupied the area where recycling is now done and was pulled down in the 1920s I believe.
Thank you!
Tony
