House numbers have only been recorded on 1/1250 maps since 1946, and on basic scale 1/2500 maps since 1955. and not before then. What date are you looking at?

Hi,

A relative was, according to the 1861 Census, working for Trinity House as a 'Keeper and Sender'.


Gordon

What is his name and where was he in 1861?
The occupation "Keeper and Sender" does not appear in 1861 according to FindMypast

The Northampton Mercury of 26 January 1828 has a brief mention:

"Thos.Jeffs - for violently assaulting and attempting to commit an unnatural crime upon Saml. Clarke of Titchmarsh - No Bill. "

‘no bill’:  to reject as unfounded or having insufficient evidence.
