Northumberland / Morpeth PR images
« on: Sunday 18 December 22 19:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters in Northumberland. Can anyone tell me if there is a site where I can see images of Morpeth baptisms c 1767 and 1774 and burials  1776? I subscribe to FindMyPast but they have only transcripts. I am a very long way from Northumberland and strikes, weather and Christmas will make it very difficult to get to the record office. I need to see 4 baptisms  and one burial.
thank you.

Nottinghamshire / Re: "Cottagers" in Normanton on Soar

Oops - on re-reading Shaunj's definition of a rented cottage with possible smallholding, cottagers were NOT necessarily at the bottom of the pecking order, and could climb above the common herd. Renting is the only common feature as far as I can see - which probably applied to 95% of the villagers....

Oh, goodness! Thank you both. My relatives acquired a little over 2 acres in the enclosure and were always "farmers." They were freeholders.They had the franchise. Never described as "cottagers." At the very least, looking at the variety in both your messages, "cottagers" would be renting their cottages. There is no suggestion that they rented tied cottages in these explanations .... it is about the only thing NOT included! So probably "cottagers" were at the lower end in the social pecking order. Thanks.

Nottinghamshire / "Cottagers" in Normanton on Soar
« on: Wednesday 18 November 20 10:13 GMT (UK)  »
Several inhabitants of the village of Normanton on Soar in c19th censuses and trade directories are described as "cottagers"; this seems to have a meaning more specific than simply living in a cottage, which would apply to the majority of the inhabitants. It may be a post-enclosure - 1770 - legal term but I can't find a definition which satisfies me. Does anyone know exactly what it means?

London and Middlesex / Re: baptised with New Inn Yard, Shoreditch addresses but lived in Bethnal Green
« on: Thursday 29 October 20 12:59 GMT (UK)  »
I haven't looked at this for yonks, but there are enough of us in the same position to suggest that the the given addressees - NIY , Woods etc, being in Shoreditch but the residences being in Bethnal Green looks as though there must have been a perceived or actual advantage.
And I'm still no closer to knowing what it was....!

Thank you, Pauline, it's a good start, but the 6 inch OS map is rather later than I hoped for. I have identified some landmarks which helps a bit, but my ancestors' home has gone!

Nottinghamshire / Normanton-on-Soar parish map
« on: Tuesday 22 September 20 15:29 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone direct me to any map with large enough scale to see individual properties online, please? I need to see 1st, parish boundary map for Normanton-on-Soar, and then would love to see Enclosure Map, Tithe Award map or any other c19th so I can follow the census enumerator round. If there are none online, I shall have to bite the bullet, contact County Record Office/ Local History and Archives and pay for them! I'm trying to locate Cox family homes in Normanton from mid c18th to late c19th.
I subscribe to Ancestry, FMY and the Genealogist, but the latter does not have Notts Tithe maps. Thanks in advance.
