Thank you, so sounds like it is the name of their street rather than a village.

You will also find information on Walkern Hall, the windmill and Aylott Family on this website.
My G-Grandfather Frederick Beadle was horsekeeper to Miss Cotton-Browne in the late C19th and early C20th at Walkern Hall.
He also lived in a cottage in clay end which was part of the estate that he got as part of the job.

Ayrshire / McCall Bakery Ayr
« on: Tuesday 22 October 13 10:58 BST (UK) »Hi, would be very grateful, if anyone has any photos (old postcards) or any information/memories about the McCall bakery in Ayr, High Street.
I have seen some entries in the trade directories of the late C19th.
I have been in touch with Ayr Archives, but no photos.
Thanks

Hertfordshire / Re: Walby butchers
« on: Friday 18 October 13 16:02 BST (UK) »I am related to a Dorcas Walby (born around 1790's) of Aston End, Hertfordshire, her father/family were butchers and I have done some research and found two further Walby butchers from Walkern, the next village over.
William Walby – 1674
Ralph Walby – 1679
I believe I have read somewhere that the Hatfield Walbys have a connection to the Aston Walby's.
The Walby name seems to have become Worbey in this area now over the centuries.

Occupation Interests / Shoemaker (Scotland) Iron face pressed into brickwork.
« on: Friday 18 October 13 15:27 BST (UK) »
Hi
My paternal ancestors the McCalls, came from a small village in Ayrshire called Straiton and were a family of shoemakers resident there from mid C18th to well into the C19th.
The attached image is of a cottage with what looks like quite an old iron cast face, pressed into the brickwork, it has been mentioned it is the face of a souter (shoemaker) and marks the home of a cobbler.
Has anyone seen anything like this before and could validate this information?
Thank you

Anthony McCall was my G-G-G grandfather and I am descended from his son Thomas, who does not appear on the 1871 census going by the previous posts. He was born in 1856 and also became a baker.
I have got a copy of the will also mentioned in this thread, but the handwriting is difficult to read.
Anthony died on the 15.4.1876 aged 47.
