1920 location
« on: Tuesday 23 March 10 16:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm tracing a family who came to Canada in April, 1920. On one of the forms that was filled out Thomas Waterhouse said his closest relative in England was his mother Sarah(& step-father Robert) Allison who lived at

I'm guessing at the printing but I think it said " BARNSBY  MOOR" in Yorkshire. I can't find any such place.
The closest I could find was Barnby Moor in Nottinghmashire.

Could this be the place?
Would Kelly's Directory be any help?

Thanks,

Forget to add that Thomas Waterhouse and his family lived in the Pocklington District, possibly in Thorton before coming to Canada.

Thanks Evie that would be the location. Funny how one letter can make such a difference in an index
