Can't decipher the surname...

[bbart]

Well that sounds rather intriguing... What is the source of your information?

13 March 1959 - Long Eaton Advertiser  Page 6 (column 4, lower third)

Title of article: £800 damage to Georgian House

The article talks about a fire that broke out in the roof of Dower House, London Rd, Shardlow on the previous Thursday.

An appliance (firetruck??) was sent from Long Eaton, and two from the Derby Borough, but due to the house structure and "situation of the fire" it was a difficult fire to put out, and before it was extinguished, 75% of the roof was gone, and an attic ceiling collapsed.

The firemen used two hose-reel, and two "fog" jets.

Person in occupation of the house was Mrs. Marion Booth.

Oh wow. That sounds fairly serious. The house has three levels with the top floor in the attic. The large roof timbers have all been painted up there and it has been noted that some of these are not that old by a few professionals. The roof was previously re-slated and has new rafters so perhaps I have the reason why and the date. I never expected that when I was trying to decipher a name from an old record from the 1840s.

Thank you!

Hello Matt

According to some pdf information online for the 'Manor of Shardlow' the authors suggest the Manor House was on your area numbered 104 (No. 104 1910 Valuation Survey & Map Red numbering).

Manor of Shardlow
http://www.derbyshireas.org.uk/DM19-06.pdf
Pdf page 3 has another Map of 1882 and they indicate in their Pdf that the Manor House and Grounds were Numbers 106 & 105 [on their Map]


Back to the 1910 Valuation Survey
According to the documents you have seen, they give the owner as Edward Sutton of No.188 (Red number) in the 1910 Valuation Survey.


Also noticed (from scrolling your posts) you mention the Fossbrooke family.


This is a very interesting Will (Proved 1831) of James Sutton of Shardlow, Derbyshire, confirming his Dwelling House with Coach House was called Broughton House and the second of the five pages (PCC Copy) goes on to mention other property in the vicinity, adjacent Field names, Cottages Dwellinghouses or Tenements near Cavendish Bridge and some other property at Aston upon Trent, Shares, etc.

Will of James Sutton of Shardlow, Derbyshire
2nd March 1831

You will see a reference to part being lately purchased from Leonard Fossbrooke Esq (double ff being capital F)

I am particularly interested in Thos Turner and William Hood, being near Warehouses and the River Trent.

 -----------

Shardlow was incorrectly spelt on Ancestry, but Canterbury Wills (PCC) are in their 'Card Catalogue' and can be found by Testators names and the year Proved date.

 ----------

In older Manor, Landowner documents and Wills, property such as Houses and Farms etc., are not always named, but your Tithe Apportionment hopefully gives field names and some fields were named in the Will?

Bear in mind sub-letting also went on and some Tenants renting one house may not be named, or might not even be resident when the Will was written.

 ----------

Looks like one of the Suttons was a Banker, so the Sutton family may have properties elsewhere and when this occurs surviving records relating to Family Estates (Surveys, Rentals & Accounts, which often name Tenantry), Marriage Settlements and any surviving Deeds and Sale Particulars, might be in other Record Offices outside of Derbyshire too?

Here's the same name in the 1849 tithe record as occupier of the 'Old Homestead' (landowner was James Sutton Esq).

Quoting myself here as reply #23 might have been overlooked

Regarding my reference to Thomas Turner and William Hood those two characters might turn out to be of personal interest in my own research, as the River Trent links up to the River Humber in Yorkshire.

Matt, in your other thread, reply #23, you said:

All I can say for sure is that John Hogg lived at the house at this time - presumably the house was rented from Edward Sutton.

If you have proof that John Hogg lived there, then it was definitely called The Villa in that time period.  There are multiple newspaper articles to back that up, which I will reference if you are positive he lived there.
However, before his time there, I think the house had a different name, which I am still working on!

Hello

According to the 1910 Valuation Survey and Map shown us by Matt, John A Hogg was indeed shown as occupying the plot numbered 188 (in Red) on the 1910 Valuation Map and 1910 Apportionment, per Matt's photos.

The 1911 Census for Gt Wilne and Shardlow appears to confirm his name as John Augustin Hogg, 41 years, a General Medical Practitioner, born circa 1870 at Warwickshire, Edgbaston

In the 1901, John A Hogg, aged 33 is again on the London Road, Shardlow and has been entered in the Census after the Dog & Duck Inn.

Hogg is presumably the same man who appears in some Inquest Reports, which would figure, being a G.P.

 ----------

In 1910 the Sutton family do seem to own some properties and land in the area, including the property numbered 188 (Red numbering) on the 1910 Valuation Survey & Map, which is opposite the Dog & Duck

Thanks for that, Mark!
There are multiple articles on John Augustus Hogg, physician, of The Villa, Shardlow.

After rabbit hunting one day in 1914, he went home (to The Villa), and cleaned his guns. Unfortunately, he didn't check to make sure they weren't loaded.... 

I had tracked the census taker around from the 1901/1911 censuses, and was confident the house was the Villa, as others have noted, but I just needed that last bit to confirm.

Being shown as renting a property or main Occupier and actually occupying it / living there, in my experience is definitely not always the same. It is not unusual to find people living in one house, but also renting another nearby and sub-letting the one they are renting to family or someone else.

Unfortunately no house name in either Census.

Added: The Doctor could be renting 188 simply for the field for his horse/s to graze in and then letting the house to someone else. No Mercs or Jags back then for the Doc 

Let's not jump the gun yet
