Memories of Nottinghamshire
Date Error.
The photo shows number 18 High Street, on the left, where Mr. and Mrs Miles lived.
A small conservatory covered the ground floor windows in this view prior to 1964, when the house had alterations made. A double garage and kitchen extension were added and the rose garden was concreted over for the driveway.
I remember when it was altered, the builders found rushes under concrete in the upstairs floors and rushes in the ceilings.
Carlton on Trent
My grandfather, Charles Arthur Evan, was signalman there. My mom Margaret Evans was born there in 1917, one of four daughters. She passed away nearly three years ago at 92 and as sharp as a whip. We emigrated to Canada in 1958. My mom and dad, James Peter Turner, knew so many of the folks in Tuxford and Carlton on Trent as they had the Fountain Hotel in Tuxford, also Cherry Tree Farm and a barbers shop on Eldon Street. My dad was also the undertaker and bell ringer at church. My daughter visited Ruth and Nigel Walton who were so kind and wecoming to them. My mom and family lived in Beck Cottage and she had so many memories. My Auntie Ruby is the teacher in your book. Does anyone remember her?
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.
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.
