Nottinghamshire memories

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...

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.

High Street c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

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

High Street c1960

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 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.

Low Marnham

I now live in Low Marnham, I have lived here for about 7 months, and was interested in its history, and so fell upon this web page. I was most interested in Marion Wilkinson's message about her story of her grandmother who had her throat cut. I wanted to know if you know which house it was, because there is something a little odd about my house, that I don't understand and I wondered if there was a conection. If anyone could help please leave a comment, thanks. Also it is also very wierd that you mention Ripon, because my partner Dave is from Ripon and was born there, and I lived at Boroughbridge which is 7 miles from there. How bizarre.
