Thanks Kate - I couldn't remember where I had seen it

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Not far from me.
I'd say it's the area where Rhyddings School is and all the terraced houses around there.

Busk figures in the 1861 census. What a lot of Haworths!

Thanks kate, I do go on that site quite often, Mike is a friend of mine, used to be a drinking buddy back in the 70s, but'll go on and have a look for that map:mosher:

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Sorry to take over your thread Margaret ... but have a similar query, and used all the information as supplied on here, so would save any repetitions.

Have spent a little time doing some family research for a friend and discovered her mum was living at 'Jumble Holes', Oswaldtwistle according to the 1911 census. It would be a farm ... but can't find it anywhere. Possible nearer to Blackburn ? Any ideas anyone ?

Also ... bit miffed ... did put some credit on the 1911 site ... 10 credits for household search. I just happened to see a box which said previous searches .. thought would show blank ... stupid me hit it twice http://planetsmilies.net/not-tagged-smiley-10181.gif... came up with two random households and took away 20 credits from me.

So if anyone had any relations starting with the head as the family as Richard Whittaker/Farmer/Mr(?)Pleasant Farm or Leon Gambetta Booth/Coal Miner/1 Benjamin Row both Ossie ... can feed you with further details of the other occupants ... :rolleyes:

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

That will be Mount Pleasant (Mt for short)
The Hippings Methodist chapel at the top of Chapel St, and the primary school which was next to it, were known as Mount Pleasant - so the farm must have been on/around that area

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Guessed that Margaret ... thanks anyway. As you know, lots of mistakes on the census records taken from hand written notes.

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Thanks again Margaret ... but I am interested in Jumble Holes. Perhaps I didn't make my post clear enough ... LOL.

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

At least my posts are giving this 'the bump' :D

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Well, yeh ... maybe someone who has a Whittaker or Booth on here as I mentioned .. could have the info. for free, which I didn't want in the first place ! ... most peculiar ... just be careful on that site ... :mad:
Welcome to the official 1911 Census website



See the box which says previous .. that is what I hit, and brought up the two I mentioned ... just a warning to take care.

See!! Won't even let me copy/paste the page to show you !!! Goes back to the home page !! Clever sods.

Katex. "Jumble Holes" is recorded as being in Haslingden in the Fire Brigade records.
Go to the top of Fielding Lane, and at the junction with Haslingden Old Rd turn left towards Haslingden and carry on for 4/10ths of a mile, the lane to Jumble Holes is on your right. Map Ref 767-251.

Retlaw.

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Retlaw .. what a star you are ! Would come up Manchester Road and give you a sloppy kiss ... except you probably wouldn't appreciate it ... :D So will reward you some karma instead. :)

Coincidentally, have to go up there later this afternoon, so will take a look.

It lists it as being in Ossie on the census in the Blackburn district .. suppose boundaries have changed since then though. ?

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Katex its 30 yearas since I collated those records whilst in the Fire Brigade. It may not be called Jumble Holes now, but that is where it was then.

A number of the small farms were converted the land sold off, and then sold as country dwellings and changed their names to something posh.
I remember one Hoyty Toyty changed the name of Clod Hill Farm in Haslingden to Cloud Hill, and did'nt tell us.
We'd have been suggared If I had'nt realised what she'd
done. Told he off for not informing us of a change.

Retlaw.
What you send karma for I don't fully understand the reason for it, or why its nescessary. Keep your sloppy kisses to your self, don't like them either.

Re: Busk - a district in Ossy
 

Blooming hek !! Did you see the price of that place .. :rolleyes:

Couldn't find it this afternoon, was one path that did not have any signage at the bottom, which I figure must have been it. Difficult too on that road when you are travelling at 30 m.p.h. on a 50 with others up your boot ... understand like, so you don't hang around. Actually the next farm on was Mount Pleasant Farm ... see previous post.

Well, ya' got yer karma whether you want it or not you grouch ... :p As for the kiss ... could keep me lips closed if you prefer. LOL.
