Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / TICKHILL near Doncaster
« on: Tuesday 04 February 14 11:02 GMT (UK)  »
Circa 1841, does anyone know the location of Swan Polston Road; Anderley Street, Tickhill Moorehouse... the latter may be near Tickhill Toll Bar.
Also, Richard Wilcox, a sawyer, was at Sunderland Street in 1851, but in 1841 his address is at "part of house with Langhton" ... where exactly?
Lastly, in 1841 Ann Wilcox ran a lodging house ... would this near near the old A1 road/Toll Bar.
        Many thanks if anyone can help me.

Hi.  Could anyone kindly let me have a photocopy of any photograph for St James Terrace in Doncaster; it was demolished some time ago?  My ancestors lived at 1 and 4.   Would pay costs/postage gladly.    Also,  I have general shots of Milners Yard (now demolished) and Bowers Fold, but would welcome any photocopy picture of 13 Milners Yard (Wilcox tailors)  and 10 & 11 Bowers Fold (Willcock bakers).
Many thanks.
