Hi

For some years I have been researching the "Diary of a Cleveland Miner" kept by William Rowbottom an Ironstone Miner and resident of Margrove Park & Charltons Terrace and Boosebeck from 1873 to 1927.

The source is a transcription of the diary's entries published in the Cleveland Standard of Jan 28th 1939. There are over 230 different surnames involved.

A final few entries still remain stubbornly unsolved. As a final attempt to try and solve them I have turned to the good folk of RootsChat who may cast a new set of eyes over them and help me complete my research. I have tried all the usual available resources that I have access to currently.

15th May 1923 Author Armstrong's sale of farming stock at Boosebeck

Possibly ARTHUR

Many Thanks

Hi

Highly Possible this is our Mrs Barker


Charlotte BARKER d age 69, registered Mar Q 1923 Guisborough Dist

From census returns a resident of Lingdale

BARKER Charlotte (CHARLTON), br 1854, Beverley, YKS, Widow nee ROBINSON, Housekeeper to BARKER family, resident 70 High St Lingdale, YKS, 1891 – 1911, marries John G BARKER br 1857, Eston,YKS, June Q 1891.

 Interred ? I don't have access to NBI Burial would be Boosebeck or possibly Skelton to confirm.

Many thanks that explains this entry.

John Andrew Thompson was Stationmaster at Boosebeck from its opening in 1878 until his retirement.

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

John
