Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: John and Anita Carr, Esher
« on: Saturday 12 June 10 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Oh my goodness how interesting!  I hope my ancestor was a Baker true to her name. A badly transcribed census entry obviously had me stumped, it just shows you how you can go completely off track.  Thank you so much Dazey999 for helping me out, I feel like I've put the final piece to my puzzle.

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / John and Anita Carr, Esher
« on: Saturday 12 June 10 16:17 BST (UK)  »
My ancestor Eunice Baker was employed as a cook with John and Anita Carr at Broughton, Esher in 1911.
Can any one help me locate this property as there is no road name associated with it. In addition I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the company Peche Firm Co Ltd of which John Carr is listed as the Managing Director in the 1911 Census.
Fingers crossed someone is familiar with this location.
Thank you.

Devon / Re: Bishops Tawton and Barnstaple property

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much for the information. I had a copy of John Jerritt's will and was intrigued by the amount of property he owned, he also seemed to have a warehouse at ?Castle Quay in Barnstaple.  He may have been involved in the timber trade, his brother James Jerritt was a cabinetmaker.

Devon / Bishops Tawton and Barnstaple property
« on: Tuesday 22 September 09 16:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to locate a dwelling or group of dwellings owned by John Jerritt and auctioned off in 1843. If any one has any information or can direct me to an old map or picture I would be very grateful. The property was known as Rumsam House in Rumsam, Bishops Tawton. Is it still standing?

My second interest is the history of 98 High Street, Barnstaple where Johns wife Fanny Jeanes Jerritt lived after the auction of Rumsam until her death in 1863, the census tell me it was used as a Day school, any information and pictures would be wonderful.

Thank you,
Karen

Pembrokeshire / Lydstep Palace, Penally
« on: Friday 04 September 09 13:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking to find out more information regarding Lydstep Palace. My relative Charles Rodwell, a carpenter, lived there from around 1891 and is shown still residing there in 1911 census.  It sounds very grand but my brief research seems to suggest otherwise. Can anyone tell me a bit more about the type of person who would typically inhabit such a dwelling. Charles had previously lived in Pembroke Dock and was a Bombardier in the Royal Artillery, he was I believe English.

Thank you,

Karen

Hi Jan,

Rose and Stanley Hyam moved to Old Heath in 1910.  The full address I'm searching is 32, Vine Cottage, Ivy Place, Old Heath Colchester. I shall try and get to the library and check the registers tomorrow.  I appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Karen

Thank you Jan.
 I was born in Colchester and took a drive around the Old Heath Road area looking for clues but no luck! I shall visit the Colchester library at the weekend as they should have some maps for me to pour over.

Hi,

Can anyone enlighten me as to where Ivy Place in Old Heath Colchester was?
The address has come up in the 1911 census and I have no idea where it was or is despite being a Colchester girl. Any clues would be helpful.

Thank you.

Karen
