Nottinghamshire / Re: Do you recognize the FWKs in this 19th century photo?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

It could be that someone with a Ruddington FWK ancestor also has a copy of this picture, which is labelled (or which they know contains a named family member). Or if they have a photo of a Ruddington FWK relative who looks remarkably like someone in this photo.... There are more photos of late c19 frameworkers than you'd imagine.

Nottinghamshire / Do you recognize the FWKs in this 19th century photo?
« on: Tuesday 29 October 13 14:11 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with names for any of the people in this photo? It was taken in Ruddington, in the 1880s or 1890s.

The photo was taken on Chapel Street, Ruddington, outside the Navvies Mission Society (a former Primitive Methodist Chapel). From the location it seems likely that they were knitters associated with the frameshops on the opposite side of (the narrow) Chapel Street (now the Framework Knitters' Museum), although we have nothing concrete to prove this. We haven't yet been able to name a single person in the photograph.

Nottinghamshire / Primitive Methodists in Notts/ Henry Baxter of Ruddington

Hello,
I'm a volunteer with the Framework Knitters' Museum at Ruddington and am looking for any information, anecdotes, resources, or anything else that anybody might have about the Primitive Methodists in Nottinghamshire (especially in Ruddington) in the 1800s. Even basic information is much appreciated.

I am also interested in Henry Baxter (a FWK of Ruddington), who in 1828 sold to the Primitive Methodists of Ruddington a plot of land on which they built their first chapel (on what became Chapel Street). Again, any information or suggests gratefully received.

Hello, I know that this post was made quite a while ago but thought that it was worth a try.
I've been researching the chapel (on what is now Chapel Street) built by the Primitive Methodists in Ruddington in 1828/9. It seems that the plot was sold to them in November 1828 by a Henry Baxter, who might or might not be the Henry Baxter, FWK of Ruddington, named in the census. I have no information about him other than this name (and the names of other parties, presumably mortgagees and solicitors, etc.) involved in the sale).

Could this be your Henry Baxter?
