Hi Does any one have a street map that shows the above location in Hyson Green around 1880, seen some photos of the area in 1960. Any help much appreciated. Paul

Samuel Raynor Nottingham Forest FC

Scotty Been a few months since I was on the site as been busy elsewhere. I have a couple of photos one of Samuel both are newspaper photos one is of Leicester City and the other Nottingham Forest. The Leicester photo is a full team photo which is the same as the newspaper cutting (but better quality) in the official Leicester City Football history 'Of Fossils and Foxes' team photo is of the 1928/1929 season. Samuel was never played in the first team so if you were to ask Leicester City then they will not recognise him as a player (photo says otherwise). I am not aware as to a similar comp -

I have found a photocopy of a Nottingham Forest Team Photo 1930 - 31 and he is there (knew I had something filed away). When I can get this scanned I will add to the post - no idea what newspaper this would be from but likely to be only in Nottingham. Interesting concerning the amateur signing in 1926, I did not know this or previous trials for Manchester City. I assume this must be a newspaper report? PR -

Well I have traced back to 1924 at the moment, found John's mother was a Smith (not helpful), could do with a lead on his father. Going forward Barbara born 1968 married a chap named William Bright in 1985. Barbara was born a year before her father died. Incidentally John was born in Mansfield Can't say it is a relative at present but confirming the name is a help. PR -

Malcolm Thanks for the reply. From what I can make out the RAYNOR's were from around Basford, Bilborough, Bulwell so Aspley is a possibility. Originally I think they came from Retford moving to nearer Nottingham probably in the early 1730's. If you have any details then I check my research and see what turns up. Thanks for the interest PR -
An ancestor of mine Samuel Raynor played for Nottingham Forest Football Club around 1929 - 1932. Previously he was on the books of Leicester City but never got to the first team so did not feature in the official history of Leicester City. I was hoping there would be an official history published for Nottingham Forest available either online or book, I see a mention of one but not the actual book, seems to have been published a while ago. Is there anyone with a copy of this book that would provide me with the stats for the years above, maybe a team photo or two or any other information like ne

Well I would have to have a look but there is a possibility. The leads I have obtained from this forum have been great, it will take me a few days to follow these through. PR -

It will not be me I would be in my teens then living in Leicester and often trying to sneek in to pubs after my 16th birthday, strange the excitement was lost when you reach 18..... PR -
I checked my earlier post on Queen Street and the detailed map you sent over, the picture matches the map - the give away is the bay window which is plain to see on the map and can be seen in the photo. Any idea when the picture was taken? PR

Robbie I would like to more often but not a resident of Nottingham but do get there on occasions. The local records office is closed at the moment for refurbshment but not considered the library as a resource.
