Memories of Cumbria
James S Blair And Son Ltd
my great grandfather was James Simpson Blair who had his business in Dalton and celebrated his 100yrs in the 1990s. Does anyone remember it or is there any family out there. I am writting about him for college and need help, thanks.
The Roxy Commissionaire
My great great uncle must have been well known to many a Daltonian. His name was Jonty Harper and he was commissionaire at the Roxy picture house in Market Street. He is believed to have been quite a stern man and didn't appreciate anyone getting in without paying. If anyone else can add to this it would be nice to hear your memories of him.
My First Home.
I lived at the Ship with my father George Simpson, mother Joan, sister Mary and grandfather Joseph Simpson. My grandfather had married Elizabeth Robinson whose family had run the pub and farmed the land since Thomas Robinson in 1672. My Great Grandfather George Robinson, who was the tenant farmer for Mr.Hocking, would have passed the tenancy on to his son John but Mr. Hocking gave it to Joseph instead as he was the better farmer. I was very ill just after being born and so was christened in the front parlour just to make sure. My father followed Joseph as the publican and also farmed the land associated with the farm buildings which were behind the public house. The white sheet that can be seen in the picture beside the telephone post shaded milk churns which were placed there for collection. My earliest recollection of living at the Ship was in 1946 when at the age of three I lost my right index finger in a piece of farm machinery.... Read more
19 King Street
Fantastic picture. This isn't a memory, more of a request. 19 King Street is listed on the 1891 census with MARY FLETCHER, her occupation is lady's outfitter and fancy goods dealer(dress). Is that in this picture? Or which side of this road would it have been on? Others in the road at the same time: 11, tobacconist - Isabella Ellenbech 13, confectioners - Sarah E Stalker 17, grocers - John Stones 19, lady's outfitters - Mary Fletcher 21, shoe maker - Edwin Atkinson 23, boot and shoemaker - Joseph Sterle, or Steele 25, chemist and druggist - Matthew Crewdson 29,??? needlework - Elizabeth Barwick 31, butcher - Joseph Barnet 33, hotel ???? - Catherine J Huddleston
MY DAD - CECIL WAITE
Ulverston is a very special place to me, my father was born in nearby Marton in 1906, and I do know from the 1911 census, that he was 4 years old then, he had 3 sisters and one brother, who was called Frank, and very sadly, Frank died in his 40's due to an accident in a quarry were he was working. My dad was living at No 2 Snipe Gill Cottages at the time, he was aged 4 years. Dad died in the 1990's. I have seen many pics, taken in 1880's/1990's, and it does not seem to have changed very much, also the one thing I notice is just how friendly the local people are in Ulverston. His mum was called MARY AGNES THOMAS, his father was THOMAS JOHN WAITE.
