Hertfordshire / Re: Abbotts Langley: The Bon-bon sweet shop?
« on: Monday 18 January 10 21:33 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
UI am new to this board and was attracted to this thread becasue of the enquiry about a village where I was bought up!
The photos shown are not where The Bon Bon was located. The first photo showing two shops has a lady wearing Red, the bit sticking out behind her was the shop know as Bon Bon.
I was born in 1960 and it was still going then and for some years later as I can remember it!!
We lived in The Crescent
Hope that helps.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: seaching the 1881 Census - Help!

Thank you for that , I knew there was a way, I just couldn't work it out !
Looks like the whole of the Cragg was recorded as one big residence instead of individual numbers, so I may well need to see the enumerators description of the route and area to discover which end he started, I am particularly interested in number 3, I have discovered that there are some Davisons down there, so that is interesting.

excellent, so I was right its the poor slum area of town!!
My curiosity has been tickled by the fact that we were in Whitby the weekend and stayed in a lovely cottage in the Cragg, really old world, and as I am into family history I wanted to see if any of my husbands folk had been in the Cragg at the time, I am awaiting my password retrieval to go and have a look myself!
Thanks for your help!

I would like to look at who lived in a road called the Cragg in Whitby , It seems to me that it wasn't a very well to do place, and looking up a link posted here for Kelly's on line I can only find one reference to it.
It is still in existence today, just being curious, not sure what I will find really!!

I have got a copy of the 1881 census on cd, I have not used it for some while and have had a look around it this afternoon, I was under the impression that you could seach by address, or road. I can't seem to work out how to do this, although there does seem to be a reference to it in the help index, I just can't work it out.
I would like to look up a particular road in Whitby can anyone give me a shove in the right direction ??
Thanks

Wow, Where did you get that info ??
I have been doing this for years and have had a couple of years off (I figure that I will need something to do in my retirement!!)
Is there an age given?
At the time of her marriage her address was the same as her husband to be,
43 Dock Street , South Sheilds
The witnesses at the marriage were Robert Edwards and Hannah Dover
Thanks, its given me another line of enquiry!
