« on: Sunday 30 June 19 12:20 BST (UK) »

Hi

For some time I have been researching the Diary of a Cleveland Miner (1873-1925) by William Rowbottom an Ironstone Miner and resident of Margrove Park & Charltons Terrace and Boosebeck.

The source is a transcription of the diary's entries published in the Cleveland Standard of Jan 28th 1939.

Could anyone help me find more info on this entry, I have tried all the usual available outlets that I have access to currently for information.

Mrs 4th Apr 1923 Mrs Barker was buried

Many Thanks

Hi

For some time I have been researching the Diary of a Cleveland Miner (1873-1925) by William Rowbottom an Ironstone Miner and resident of Margrove Park & Charltons Terrace and Boosebeck.

The source is a transcription of the diary's entries published in the Cleveland Standard of Jan 28th 1939. The following entry as two possibilities.

3rd April1922 Mrs Thompson of Saltburn died.

THOMPSON, Mary J d age 64 or Annie d age 51 both June Q 1922 Guisborough Dist ?

As anyone access to online newspapers so I can possibly determine the correct one. Our local ref does not hold this year or it is missing.

Thanks

Yorkshire (North Riding) / SK(C)ROGGINS Diary of a Cleveland Miner

« on: Monday 25 March 19 14:42 GMT (UK) »

Hi

For some time I have been researching the Diary of a Cleveland Miner (1873-1925) by William Rowbottom an Ironstone Miner and resident of Margrove Park & Charltons Terrace in what was North Yorks but is also better known as East Cleveland.

The source is a transcription of the diary's entries published in the Cleveland Standard of Jan 28th 1939 which I found inserted inside a family bible that came into my belonging in the 1980s.

I have inserted my research in the form of a spreadsheet that stands at 352 entries, with the aim of
sharing the information I have found.

An handful of entries have eluded further information mainly because of their vagueness so having pursued them myself and came up blank thought the good folk of roots chat might be up for the challenge. The most vague is the following.

3rd April 1915 Skroggins left Boosebeck

9th May1916 Skroggins made a visit to Boosebeck. Much respected by all

Who is SK(C)ROGGINS ?

Regards

John

World War One / John Thomas Knaggs WW1

« on: Tuesday 09 October 18 14:41 BST (UK) »

Hi

I am trying to find the death of one John Thomas Knaggs br 1879 Skelton Green YKs husband of Louisa Poll. He worked in the local Ironstone Mines with Blacksmiths experience of shoeing horses.

My feeling is that he possibly served in WW1 and was killed.

Searches of Civil Reg deaths (and purchase of possible certs) or local church/cemetery records have failed to trace him. He his listed in 1915 rate books but in the 1939 register his wife is a widow.

One possible ref I came across from WW1 records is

John T Knaggs 210106 Driver 1914 Royal Field Artillery

Could anyone help/advise me how I could find out more info to determine if this is my ancestor.

Thanks

John

Lancashire / Searching for Thomas Brown birth Toxteth 1899

« on: Thursday 02 August 18 12:09 BST (UK) »

I am searching for the baptism/christening of a Thomas Brown br 1899 Toxteth Liverpool his parents were a John Alexander Brown cr 1868 St Peters Toxteth and a Alice Maude Edwards. They married at St Matthews in 1892. The family can be found in 1911 at Star St but I have failed to trace them in 1901 or John Alexander in 1891.

Because of the common names involved I have no success with civil registration failing to match with certs purchased and am reluctant to purchase anymore without further proof.

Appreciate any help or advice.

Many Thanks

John
