Derby Cantrills
« on: Saturday 02 May 15 23:21 BST (UK) »
Hi :)

My gg grandfather Gurney Patmore married Sarah Cantrill from Derby, daughter of hotel / pub owner Henry Cantrill in a double wedding with Sarah's sister Caroline who married Thomas? Cox.

The Cantrill family had the Saracen's Head in St James Lane and the Royal Hotel.

After the marriage in 1859, Gurney and Sarah emigrated to Melbourne Australia where he was editor on the Argus having been editor of the Derby Mercury.

They had five children then returned and had one more.  Gurney was in ill health and they spent time in Salford and Essex, aided by Gurney's brother Coventry a poet.

We know loads about the Patmores but my real question is does anyone know or are they related to the Cantrill side of the family? 

I know it was a large family and I have a few entries from the Mercury online.

Also, are there any old photo's of the hotels or pubs and do they still exist?

I'd love to swap stories with anyone.

Best wishes

You asked if they still existed - this one is in Victoria Street, so is it the same one?

Take a google map walk down the street?

Added:
St James's Lane does not exist in Derby.
Possibly renamed St James's Street

Thank you Spendlove

I have actually seen some of the census but I'm between flats and don't have all my stuff so that's great to see.  I'll have a look at the originals from what you've given me.

I actually have both marriage certificates - with about six witnesses each!  Slight dramatic touch among our Patmores!  Also Caroline's birth certificate - Sarah was too old.  Some of the family moved to Salford and Gurney and Sarah spent time there when they returned from Australia.

Thank you again.

Best wishes

If this link works (?), it should lead to a photo of the Royal Hotel

http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;DRBY006670&pos=1&action=zoom&id=35935

If not, go to www.picturethepast.org.uk and in the search box put Royal Hotel, and then select Derby for the place. Then repeat for Kings Head, where Mrs Cantrill is mentioned.  Can't see anything for the Nags Head.
Always looking for GOODWINS in Berkshire :)

Gary

This sounds a fascinating venture!

Yes, Gurney had his library auctioned when he returned home to raise funds.  Not sure where you're up to with your research or what you need but I'll send you a pm

best wishes

Small Town Girl,

Thank you.

I really enjoyed looking at those photo's and had a good look around the  site including another photo of the Royal.  I'll be looking at the site again too.

Thank you again.
