Nottinghamshire memories

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.

Ann -the wife of Charles Cartwright
Maria -the wife of Thomas Wright, carpenter

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...
