rachaeljones0611 0 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hi all Well, like a lot of folks I'm looking for the elusive ancestors of my family who were living in the Radford and Hyson Green areas...in particular Lenton Terrace, Hyson Green which is not on a lot of maps I have seen. Does anyone know of this?? My family moved to this area around 1870 and were around Bovill Street, Independent Street, Ossington Street and Moorgate Street. ( yes they moved a lot!!!) The son ended up marrying a girl who lived in De Ligne Street,(23) and from there my family lived in Sneinton, Basford, West Bridgford and Edwalton. Their surnames were Jones and Atkins and Limb. The girl in De Ligne Street, Annie had an Irish Father called Glynn. Has anyone else done any research in this area or timeline and in particular have any pictures of the area around 1860 to 1915? I would be grateful to hear from you..... Thanks .. Rachael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,482 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have ancestry on my Mothers side from Hyson Green and Radford but I am afraid none of the names you mention ring any bells Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,949 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Welcome Rachael. To answer one of your questions straight away......if you want photos of the relevant areas, go here and use the Search box. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/index.php As for the locations of the roads you mentioned, I can identify them all - apart from Lenton Terrace, Hyson Green, although there was a Lenton Street in Hyson Green.

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Lenton terrace consisted of four houses off of Lenton Street (between numbers 11 & 13 ) Lenton Sreet was off Radford Road (234 Radford Road) Lenton Street & Terrace were both nothrough roads. Information Kelly's directory 1950. Map reference SK5541(NE) I have this map with Lenton Terrace on. The map is quite large scale & dated 1954 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,949 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I was hoping someone could fill in the gaps . I guessed it might be off Lenton Street, but the map I'm looking at doesn't have enough detail, so this is the best I can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bing 78 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 The parish records of St. Stephen's church are worth looking through. I have ancestors from Radford/Hyson Green, mostly Binghams and Blowers, including Tom Blower the channel swimmer who lived in Hyson Green, although he's a bit off to the side on my tree.

MelissaJKelly 2,080 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Welcome to the forum Rachel. Like others have said. I also have ancestors who would have been living in Hyson Green at the same time... names don't ring a bell though unfortunately. Hope you find what you're looking for! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pippy 0 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Rachael, I've just joined this forum having found your post from a search so I don't know if you're still active but I'm also related to and researching Jones / Atkins / Limb in Hyson Green / Radford and beyond (so many places! ) . I was wondering the name of the 'son' you mentioned? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
