Broseley 0 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 The Nottstalgia section features a pic of the Three Crowns in Bulwell. My Great Uncle, Arnold Ashley, used to run this pub during the 1930s, I think. He was also well known as a cricketer. He had a son, also called Arnold. Does anyone remember him? I am researching my family history and would love to get some info or stories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Broseley 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 OK, maybe Arnold was later than that. How can I find out, please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Tried the 1931 census? I don't think there was a census for 1941 due to the war You could try here! http://kellysdirectories.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 You can't look at the 1931 census. Directories are your best bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've been at the County Archives today, mainly for my own stuff, but decided to look up a few bits and pieces which had appeared on Nottstalgia. In 1935 Arnot Oswald Ashley (note the spelling, but that's how it is on the original electoral list) and his wife Sarah Ann were at 192 Main Street - The Three Crowns.

Broseley 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hey, thanks, that's really helpful. Now I have a date and a proper name (my Mum always called him Uncle Arnold though). I can't get to the Notts archives cos I live in Bognor Regis! Does anyone remember his cricketing prowess? According to 192.com there is still an Arnott Ashley living in Bulwell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adeashley 1 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hello I am Arnot's grandson, I have just found your post completely by chance and have sent you a message, just covering all options in cas you do not receive the message, be warned it's a bit of a diatribe.
