Nottinghamshire memories
Family History
My Great Grandparents Albert Wells and Edith Ann Judson married in this church on 24th December 1912. Edith was born Judson and was born at Holme and so may have been Baptised in this church as well.
Family History
My great grandmother Eliza Clarke was born at the Plough Inn Norwell in 1866.
Her father George Clarke was the landlord at the time.
Murder at Norwell
Not a memory, but I discovered my great great grandmother Mary Antcliffe was sent to prison for the murder of her stepson Joseph aged 18 months. She was accused of beating him to death. There were several neighbours mentioned in the news reports.
Mary -the wife of Joseph Keyworth
Ann -the wife of Charles Cartwright
Maria -the wife of Thomas Wright, carpenter
Mary -the wife of Robert Cawdwell publican, mother of Maria Wright.
Gilberts Row
Not really a memory, my great-grandparents were living at Gilberts Row on the 1911 census. I was hoping someone out there knew where it was. I have a photo of them outside the cottage. My great-grandfather was born in the village as were my grandfather and father. My great-grandfather was a chimney sweep and wore a patch over one eye, his name George Henry Antliff. I have heard from my father that his Aunt Jessie used to deliver the newspapers in the village and it would take her so long as she stopped in several places to help the elderly with their Sunday dinners...
My Grandad
The funeral of my grandad, Joseph Cobb, was the last one to take place at St Leonard's Church before it was demolished.
Great Grandad's Shop,
Ernest C Rick was my Great Grandmother's first husband. He owned this Gents Outfitters shop in Stodman Street, now it is Bakers Oven. I don't really have any information about him, only that he married Florence and had 2 sons. If anyone knows any more, please feel free to leave comments.
Newark Market
I lived at the RAF camp at Coddington during my teens. I went to Sconce Hills school & later worked at Alec W. Adams in Lombard Street. In those days, as office workers we were required to work on Saturday mornings and afterwards, my friend & I would invariably walk round the marketplace before catching the bus home. If we missed the bus, they were few & far between in those days & many is the times we had to walk up Beacon Hill in all weathers! One of my brothers was born in Coddington & indeed, I was Christened at Coddington Church! (better late than never!) I love Newark still & although I don't get the chance to go back for a visit very often now, I often think of the lovely times & good friends I made there.
