    Default NEWTON Manor Farm near Bath

    I'm looking for Newtons of Manor Farm north east of Bath, in 1944, said to be direct relatives of Newtons of Canon's Town Cornwall

    As this is fairly recent and the people from Manor Farm may still be living, would anyone who may be able to help with information about those who may be alive please contact Isambard direct, either by private message or e-mail.

    Thanks

    There were a few Manor Farms around Bath and even quite far out the place may still have been refered to as 'Bath', just to assist in centralising it. but to the North East it could possibly be Manor Farm, Innox Lane. Upper Swainswick.

    Thanks for that interesting possibility. Where did you find map with that information?

    I've since located Manor Farm in Upper Swainswick. The 1901 Census site allows one to search by place, permitting one to walk in the footsteps of the census taker to find persons, as I've used successfully in the past (for a fee of course). However I've not been able to locate Upper Swainswick (or just Swainswick) on the site and assume it's included in a larger district, but which one?

    Look on GenUKI, Somerset, Towns & Parishes, and then Swainswick.
    There is a map of the village - it might help!
    Upper Swainswick is top right, and Manor Farm is clearly marked.
    BUT there is also a Manor Fram at Woolley, just a mile or so away!

    Swainswick should be the civil parish name.

    Thanks, I found that map and it looks as if my walk in the footsteps of the census taker will be a bit longer by a mile or so. But first must find what registration district/sub district those two farms are in.

    Yes, but 1901 Census Online place search doesn't appear to respond to Swainswick as a place name, so must appear within a larger registration district.

    I did an address search in FMP's 1901 census.
    Left the street blank, and entered Swainswick and county Somerset.

    Brings up a nice short list - but no Newton's or Manor Farm in the Upper Swainswick section.

    Ah well!


    But you'll find Manor Farm under Swainswick in the Swainswick list.
    (You'll see what I mean if you have a look!)
