Author Armstrong :Diary of a Cleveland Miner
« on: Monday 05 August 19 12:47 BST (UK) »
Hi

For some years I have been researching the "Diary of a Cleveland Miner" kept by William Rowbottom an Ironstone Miner and resident of Margrove Park & Charltons Terrace and Boosebeck from 1873 to 1927.

The source is a transcription of the diary's entries published in the Cleveland Standard of Jan 28th 1939. There are over 230 different surnames involved.

A final few entries still remain stubbornly unsolved. As a final attempt to try and solve them I have turned to the good folk of RootsChat who may cast a new set of eyes over them and help me complete my research. I have tried all the usual available resources that I have access to currently.

15th May 1923 Author Armstrong's sale of farming stock at Boosebeck

Possibly ARTHUR

Many Thanks

What type of record would there be of this type of event?  Doesn't sound as though it would be something for the record books as the sale of stock sounds very much like an everyday event.

Have you looked for a possible newspaper item advertising the sale?
