The Hartlepool Monkey
« on: Monday 01 July 19 14:38 BST (UK) »
I am sure it needs no introduction, but I would welcome comments from any locals, on this news article from The Northern Daily Mail, August 4th, 1951.  My great grandmother Jane Adamson was the landlady in 1900.  The pub was demolished in 1907.  Was there a Victorian equivalent of Delboy Trotter knocking out dodgy stuffed monkeys in the late 1890s, or is this a real one?

James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

David, I've got an open mind.  (Stuff keeps falling out.)  I do have one ancestor I can't quite locate...
