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

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

Cliff Ton Thanks for the map (better than mine) and the photo, guess a lucky pic, appreciate your help. PR

The number is 88 Bailey Street, if you look on the left hand side at the Whitemoor Road end then this is where the house ought to have been - completely redeveloped. As for Radford Road I have a photo taken in 2008 (house looks better now), just looking for a better map than I have. PR

Looking for a copy of a map that has sufficient detail to identify or determine house numbers on Bailey Street. Also looking for the same for Radford Road, narrowing this down to number 496 or just up Egypt Road / Radford Road Junction. Hope some one can help, looking forward to any replys. PR

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 Was Cyril a John Cyril A Raynor, seems to match with a Annie Seddon being married 1954, born 29 October 1924, died June 1969 aged 44 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

Thanks for this 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.

Thanks for the article, how tragic. PR

I had a look around the forums generally to see where such a topic would be best located, could not find an obvious candidate. I would guess there a loads of public houses that have gone, the lost pubs project on the tinternet have identified a fair few of them, that said not all of them. I am particularly interested in the following which were in Old Basford. Queen's Arms (Queen Street / Queen's Square) The Lord Nelson (Percy Street) the old building, as I have found there is / was a more recent incarnation of this pub maybe on the same plot.. Questions I am asking:- Who were the brew

It took a little longer than I expected but I found that the death of Frances Raynor is linked to Hedley Raynor as Hedley is her Father as found by Bubblewrap. Bit more of a trace I am back to early 1830's - bit of a dirty way of looking at this but missing a last link which I think I may have at home. I have to say I may have a new line to my tree potentially. Would never have considered this so being on the forum has been worth while. Hedley died in 1961 age 71 is wife Frances (nee Pynegar) died in 1974 If you can provide a copy of the EP article for Frances this would be a useful means to

DavidW I subscribe to Ancestry (it was either one or the other) so thanks for the article. To be honest this is more than I expected. PR

DavidW I had a look at the 1891 Census again and the adjacent housing and there is only one Raynor in Queen's Square and this is Walter Raynor so this is my Great Grandfather. I know they moved to Leicester before 1900 and had one more child between these dates as far as I know. Where do I find the reference to the court case you found? Not looked at the other leads yet. Paul Raynor

DavidW There is a possibility Walter could be an ancestor, now you have provided a date then I can look up which branch of the family this could be, occupation appears right as most of the employment appears to revolve around Lace, or Bleaching, Bleaching Trimmers (what is a Bleaching Trimmer?) or publican,etc. 1892 appears familiar for some reason, thanks for the lead. The other leads I would have to follow up but they are in the right area. Bit of reverse engineering required here I guess. Thanks for the reply. Paul Raynor

Bubblewrap Thank you for the reply and the picture. Was the Queen's Arms on the corner of Queen's Street & Queen's Square? I am looking at a 1915 reprint of the Old Basford area which indicates a large building at that location. As for the photo is there any reference to when it was taken and the direction (towards Mill Street or towards Percy Street). My guess it was viewed towards Percy Street which tells me some of those houses would have been demolished by the time the photo was taken. hard to say, I have looked at various lost pubs sites but can't find any other detail of this landm

Hi First post so hope this has a reply or two. Struggling with finding information on Queen Street in Old Basford. I know the area has been redeveloped once or twice so not much to look at if I visited but I do have maps but not to a scale that would identify actual house numbers. If anyone can help with this it places context to what I am looking for. There also seems to be a Public House which looks like it could be Queen's Arms - I can't make this out fully so any confirmation of this would be nice. From what I can make out my ancestors appeared to have lived in a number of houses in thi
