carni 10,094 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks Babs, I was a bit disappointed when we went to have a look and it was gone. I feel as though some one mentioned for a car park ? My Gt and Gt Gt and Gt Gt Gt grandfathers all lived on Mar Hill Road at one stage , but of course my Gt grandfather was only a child. Blimey, it gets complicated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 When was that Carnie? I lived there 70s-90s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have just been trying to get all of the info up on the census forms. Ancestry.com seem to have changed things around and I am struggling to find my family on the 1901 census. I am going to have to spend a bit of time catching up on the changes. Nottstalgia seems to have taken over my spare time. At the moment this is what I have got. On the 1911 census...21 Marhill Road, my Granddad age 17. Gt Granddad age 37 and his wife plus Gt Gt Grandma age 57. I can,t find Gt Gt Granddad, will look in deaths! At another house number, at some stage lived GT Gt Gt Grandparents. Great Here int it ! I have all this infomation in my tree, I just need some catch up time. I'm pretty sure all of these people had left this world before you lived on Mar Hill Road Mick.

mick2me 3,033 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Interesting, I thought those house were built slightly later than that? I do have a copy of the deeds of the old house somewhere? It was number in the 50s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have double checked on Ancestry.com and the people I have mentioned on #78 were all there at no 21 Marhill Road on the 1911 Census Gt Gt Granddad died in 1908, so that would explain why Gt Gt Grandma aged 57 was only mentioned. So how much earlier the houses where built I don't know. On the 1901 census my Gt Grandparents and Granddad ( Who was only a child) lived in the house on Arthur St, Netherfield. The one that has been demolished. They probable moved in with his parents at Marhill, after the demolition. Mick, I would be interested to know when the houses were built on Marhill. I have found them on the 1901 census the three generations lived on Windmill Lane in two houses not Marhill Road? I'm not looking anymore now. My mind is getting Boggled!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think fro memory now it may be 1903, there may be some date Plaques on Streetview? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yes, 42-44 Marhill Road, Woodbine Cottage 1899 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 1903 Mick, That would tie in with the whereabouts and house moving of my Ancesters. 1901 some were at Windmill Lane, One family at Arthur St Netherfield. By 1911 Most of them had moved to what appears to be the 1903 newly built Marhill Road Houses. Yippee. Solved It. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 17-19 Hill 'Cottage' - 1911 or 1901? 37-39 - 1903 21 Marhill Road today 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nice one. Thanks Mick. I can imagine my Gt Gt Granparents coming through that front door over 100 yrs ago. Probably on their way to The Blacks Head or Old Volunteer for a pint of Ale. Just as a point of interest, I have been trying to find some info on when these two pubs were built. I can get a round about idea on The Old Vol, but nothing on The Blacks Head. Has any one got any idea? They are both quite old! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
