Does anyone know please the history of Kennacott holiday cottages when it was a farm back in the 1960's and who owned it then.  Many thanks  :)

London and Middlesex / Mecklenburgh Square
« on: Sunday 26 July 15 20:31 BST (UK)  »
I have come across the address of 22 Mecklenburgh Square, Grays Inn, Bada WC during my research in the 1911 census with quite a long list of residents.  Would this have been a lodging house perhaps?  Many thanks  :)

Can anyone tell me please where I can view Western Morning News copies for 1977 as I am hoping to find an obituary notice.  Many thanks.  :)

Wiltshire / Cloatley Farm, Hankerton
« on: Tuesday 23 June 15 09:57 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know, please, about this place?  It has come up in my ancestry research and the family name there is Greenslade (Oliver Alic and his widow Frances Alice nee Reynolds who died in 1965 and 1966 respectively).  Am I right in saying that there was once a fire there?  Also, there was mention of Cherry Tree Cottage at Hankerton too.  Oliver left his estate to his widow with a note at the end which says "Further grant Llandaff 14th September" but I am not sure of the meaning of this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks!

Somerset / Butter Buildings, Radstock

Does anyone know anything about these houses please?  My great grandfather and his family (surname was Callow) lived here for a time in the early 1900's I believe.  Would they have been privately owned?   :)  Thanks

Does anyone know anything about this place please?  I have come across it in the 1911 census as one of my ancestors was a Coachman and Chauffeur and another was a groom.  Did a family by the name of Ashburton reside there at one time?  Many thanks    :)

I grew up in the Westfield area of Midsomer Norton, Somerset and have recently discovered an address on a 1911 census which is - 60 Wells Road, (2 Westfield Villas).  Does anyone know where exactly Westfield Villas are please as I have never come across this before.  Many thanks :)

Occupation Interests / Carrier Occupation
« on: Tuesday 19 May 15 11:54 BST (UK)  »
I have just received a copy of my partner's mother's birth certificate and it states that the father's occupation is a 'Carrier'.  Does anyone know what this was please?  The year was 1918 and up until then he had been doing various types of farm work. :)
