London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Punch Bowl at Poyle, near Colnbrook
« on: Thursday 03 April 08 11:22 BST (UK)  »
HI,
I have discovered that my ancestors ran the Punch Bowl in about 1770-1800.  Apart from finding a picture of it on the internet and reading that is was in the grounds of the paper mill I don't know what else I can research.
I have found brewery records before in local record offices (Warwickshire) but don't know where to start with this one!
Any ideas?

I have downloaded a map of parishes, but the road names are very small.
Can anyone tell me which parish Moor Street is in, please?

Thanks

Lincolnshire / John Haworth Burbidge
« on: Monday 26 June 06 17:57 BST (UK)  »
I have been researching my Haworth family (none in Linconshire, but that's another story).

I have discovered that John Haworth J Burbidge was born in 1911 in the Glanford Brigg district, and died in North Lincolnshire in 1998.

He is obviously descended from Jane Haworth who married Francis William Burbidge in Wakefield in 1905.  Does anyone know anything about him?

I am keen to make connections between the very diverse branches of my Haworth family tree.

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Trebyan orphanage
« on: Thursday 15 June 06 22:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have discovered that two of my great grandmother's sisters were living at Orphanage House, Lanhydrock in 1881.  Does anyone know where I can find more information about them - how they came to be there, what happened next?  Are there any records for this orphange - nothing on A2A, I've looked.

Their names were Alice and Minnie Underwood, and they were born in Bermondsey, South London.  The rest of their family were in London, and they were indeed orphans by then.  They were later living with relatives in Romford, Essex - Alice in 1891, Minnie in 1901.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Highfield Home of recovery Golders Green
« on: Friday 20 January 06 17:35 GMT (UK)  »
My grandparents met at this home - for shell shocked soldiers in WW1.

Anyone know where it was?  I know it was a big house with large gardens and mature trees from photos of my grandfather.  Apparently it was a girls boarding school before WW1.  It may have closed in 1918 - what happened to it then? 

It housed 100 patients and staff, and matron was Miss Goldthorp according to The British Journal of Nursing which I found online at www.rcnarchive.rcn.org.uk

Have just thought could try directories!!

Just off to look online - byeeeeee

Lancashire / Marriage Licence Parish Church Rochdale
« on: Saturday 16 April 05 22:19 BST (UK)  »
Hullo there,

has anyone any idea where a marriage licence for the parish church in Rochdale would be found?  My 2xgrt. grandparents were married there in 1847 by licence, and I'm having trouble finding any more about them.

They were James Haworth and Mary Jaques, and fathers were Peter Haworth, innkeeper, and James Jaques, office clerk.

James and his brothers were born in Halifax, and later lived in Pendleton (Salford), but I cannot find his birth.  I thought his marriage licence might give me a clue.

Regards,

Hi, can anyone find a birth/baptism of William Rogers, son of John, born about 1820.  I have only just made the link with Kent from Camberwell, where the family lived for many years.


Thanks

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / William Adams in Chesham
« on: Wednesday 16 March 05 23:50 GMT (UK)  »
Please could you look up William Whitehall Adams in Chesham PR's?  Born Chesham about 1823, if I have done my sums right!  Age 38 in 1861, but living in Middlesex by then.

Thanks
