Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Northampton Asylum
« on: Friday 24 August 12 19:09 BST (UK)  »
Thomas Walters age 26 and Mary King age 23 married 3 Nov 1867 at the church in the parish of St Giles Northampton.
 Their residence at the time of marriage was cited as Asylum!
I know St Crispins wasn't opened until 1876, but I think it could be at St Andrews Northampton Asylum.
Does anyone know which asylum would fall in the parish of St Giles and/or would be able to look up any asylum records to try and find one or the other of them. Thomas's profession on the marriage secret is attendant I think this my mean he worked there.
Thank you for any help.

Cheshire / Re: Pott Chapel - Bollington/Rainow

Hi
They have lots of old maps, leases and rent books as well as hurch docs. It may be worth giving them a ring next week. They are very helpful. Do you live locally as a visit to the archives may be useful.
I visit regularly and can always look up something for you if you are too far away.

hi
It might be worth trying the Cheshire Archives. They have tithe maps online.
Also in their catalogue there are documents from 1772 relating to mortgage charges on the 'Chapel of Pott otherwise known as Downes Chapel'. (their ref DDS 29).
Good luck.

Thanks  for that. The Lancs entry is definitely not him.

Armed Forces / Boer War 1899 -1902
« on: Saturday 02 June 12 14:12 BST (UK)  »
Can any one help find my G grandads war records. He served in the Boer war and he has an inscription on the war memorial in Winsford Cheshire stating he was in the regular army and survived the war. I cant find him on Find my Past or National Archives. is name ins John Moores and was born in 1874 in Over (Winsford) Cheshire. The family think the served in the Cheshire Reg. I can only find a John Moores serving in Lancs Reg wounded at Ladysmith. I dont think this his him.
He had a few medals but they were stolen in a burglary .(IF anyone knows where the medals are we would like them back!)

Any help finding out more about his army service would be very much appreciated.

Have a look on Find my Past. There are quite a few with this name on Welsh regiments who served in Boer War. Its a  good place to start.

Cheshire / find a 1866 pub?
« on: Thursday 03 May 12 11:19 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find a 1866 public house in Pillory St Nantwich Cheshire.
my grandfather was a publican in Pillory street nantwich between 1869 to 1871
from my uncles birth certifcate - he was born in pillory st Nantwich Jan 1869 - father publican. (Robert Wadkins)
on 1871 census Robert Wadkins occupation is 'Publican out of buiness' and he is living with his in laws.
I have been to Cheshire Archives in Chester but they cant help. Robert isnt in Kellys Directory. He didnt need a licence at this time so I am stuck. Does any one have any ideas how I might find out the name of the pub in pillory st he was in?
