Hi,

I've been researching some buildings in Hartlepool - Robson's buildings, Brougham Street on the Headland - using newspaper archives.

It seems a pretty rough sort of place, while in 1883 &...

I've managed to get more evidence that needle filer seems most appropriate.

On the militia attestation an address of 25 Clarence Street is written on in different handwriting by the section for...

There is a pretty cool YouTube video called "The Art & Mystery of Needlemaking" produced by the Worshipful Company of Needlemakers it includes video footage of all the stages of needle making. It's...

Oh, that sounds much better!

It would tie in with the local and family history and is much more likely than him making saws for logs.

Thanks very much Jomot1 :)

Yes, I'm working on a detailed profile for him on WikiTree if you are interested - I don't think I am allowed to link but his ID there is Carver-5359

I saw that but thought it unlikely to be something you would need to be apprenticed for.

Hi,

Can anyone help me understand an occupation of Filer circa 1890

I am confident on the transcription, it appears in several places but is very clear on one specific document so it not Tiler,...

I have a newspaper report of Legal proceedings for Dickens v Burnand (coachmaker) on 13 Feb 1807 a Nisi Pruis sitting at Westminster in front of Lord Ellenborough from Morning Chronicle on 14th Feb. ...

Thank you, Megan, that does seem most likely :)

Hi,
I have a baptism record for Rosetta Florence Barnes born 1896.

Hi Sue,

Yes thank you, I've got the photo and the workhouse records. It looks like he was separated and sent to Southall premises where there was a school.

He was also involved in a domestic...

Unfortunately the only information I've seen in the papers is scant: that he is 19, a labourer and that the theft took place in Albermarle Street, and that he was imprisoned for 6 months hard labour.

Can anyone help me?

I have a 2G Grandfather Charles Selby 1863-1936 born Marylebone.

He was in:
* an unknown prison in 1897 (wife and kids into workhouse and poor law school)
* Pentonville...

Thanks for all the help.

I've written up all the info I can find on old Ozzy onto WikiTree. If anyone is interested it is here:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Burnand-64

Jomot1, you legend!

This George street is just across from Middx Hospital and Oswald Sr was living in a house backing onto the hospital on Cleveland Street in 1871.

Also the road to the west...

There is a fault on Ancestry where the record loads an incorrect image from the wrong dataset. This might be why it is not showing elsewhere?

There is a load of other children. His oldest sister...

The only thing I can see is that the other George St is in the parish of St Paul Portman Square, which might have been misheard?

But #27 would be near the chapel and on the Booth poverty map...

Hi,

I have a baptism certificate for Oswald George Isaac Bernand (Burnand): 14 Jun 1878, St Andrew, St Marylebone. It gives the address as 27 George St, Portland Road.

I have interpreted that...

Thank you that one settles it. There are a few that mention both shops I've found but that one is really useful as it indicated that she ran the one shop and he ran the other.
I've had fun digging...

No relation - I came across a photo of him on a Hartlepool history website and found a discrepancy in the location information and then just found myself down a rabbit hole!!
...

@Jomot1 - Thank you that would explain it. I'd seen domestic servant in other earlier records, but that makes sense as earlier records did not specifically list employer.

Sorry not been on for a few days since posting. The record is a 1922 census for 30 Mozart Street Hartlepool.

Does anyone know what an entry of "Private" would indicate against the employer in the 1921 census please? The occupation field is blank on the transcription.

Also a daft question but I can't seem...

I had considered that. There was a George Burnand who ran a coach making business in both York and Harrogate in 1790s* so it would make the odds of two relatives having same job more likely. But...
