Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

Ok ... only fair to do so.
Photo of the Burgess Roll in 1925 attached.

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

Agree there, Blackburnlad, and already mentioned this to Retlaw to see where an A.Westwell was registered in 1925.

Will go and verify this with camera, as neutral at the moment, but do trust...

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

Hate to mention this (well, not really .:D ), but the map you put up is dated at c.1890 by the LCC. Not that it makes any difference like.

Think I will grab me anorak and go and join Cashy at the...

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

What I said was that the 1911 census had the Hope and Anchor down as No. 19 (no mention of 21-23). The Hope and Anchor is now listed as 27-31. Actually, Walter was slightly wrong on the modern...

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album

Re: Accy Old Photo's - John Kelly's Album
