The Pianoman

Its possible but unlikely that it is the same family. I have only gone back to 1806 and that was a birth. Mind you it was George Harvey. The Mary I am looking for is possibly the only Harvey that came to Nottingham. They seem to have travelled along the A46 turned right at Bingham and came in on the A52. Starting with Mary and going backwards, it is Nottingham City, Flintham, Kneeton, Barkestone, Newark, that being George Harvey born 1806. That is the direct line and I have not gone sideways much yet, apart from John Harvey who was Mary's brother who kept Red Lodge at Scriveton. He has a posh

This might be a bit of a long shot but where would someone who died in the Meadows area be buried? Thinking of going grave hunting. The person I am looking for info on is my Great Grandmother Mary Harvey. She was born 1864 and died 1923. I have not got her death certificate yet but I would think she lived at 9 Blackstone Street, Meadows at the time of death. Previously she lived at 21 Queens Grove and was born at Flintham. This person is the family's proverbial skeleton in the closet and frankly makes it the most interesting bit of my family history as she had 9 children (1 died) but she nev

Only just joined this forum today and I think it looks like there is a lot of interest. I was born on Woodborough Road - cant remember the number without looking at my birth certificate but 268a rings a bell it was at the back of a shop on the opposite side of Woodborough Road to Dame Agnes Street (which until 20 or so years ago I always thought was Day Magnus Street) My father rented a lock up garage up there. We then moved to Ford Street St Marys, which was at the bottom of St Anns Well Road. I believe he still rented the garage. Moved to Eastwood in 1959 shortly before my 3rd birthday

Only just joined this forum today so bear with me a bit. My fathers mothers maiden name was Cooper but I haven't gone far enough back yet to help you but I shall keep you posted. I have gone back to 1855 and hit a brick wall. Also no trace of them on the 1901 census. Their addresses were 14 Derwent Street, Meadows, before that somewhere? Burton Joyce and before that at Gunthorpe. Do you think that might be any use?

Thanks for the welcome. As you are Admin perhaps you could recommend which part of the forum I should be asking about genealogy. I am guessing this is the wrong one. TIA

Hello Folks Just joined this forum. Been doing a bit of family history research and was looking for birthplaces of long deceased family members and wanted historic Nottingham maps. Google brought me to this forum so I thought I had better join. Found a useful map posted by another member btw. I live at Eastwood now but I was born on Woodborough Road. My parents left Nottingham when I was almost 3 (50 odd years ago) but I still consider myself a Nottingham-ite rather than an Eastwood-ite My interests are Piano, music, photography, transport. I am interested in Geneology but I am not a fana
