    Exclamation Names from Madley Ledgers - 1889 onwards

    :...: My ancestors were haulage and agricultural contractors based in Madley, who kept records of their clients and work. I have some old diaries and ledgers covering about 50 years from 1889.
    .
    Many clients were landowners and farmers, 'though there were builders, shop-keepers, church people, publicans, private individuals and even Parishes and District Councils on their books.
    .
    Here is a list of names and districts . If you think your ancestors might be there, I am happy to let you know what work was undertaken for them and how much they paid.
    .
    Here is an example
    .........
    .
    Mr. ALFORD - Tan House
    Mr ADDIS - Cublington (Madley)
    Mr PRICE ADDIS - Cublington
    Mr THOMAS ABERCROMBIE - The Castle - (We also have his funeral service card 1910)
    Mr Mr EDWARD ADDIS - Shenmore (Madley)
    WILLIAM ARISS - Blenheim, Madley
    The Abbey Dore District Council
    Abergavenny Rural District Council
    .
    The A (and other) page was missing, so these were noted as I read.
    The spellings might not always be accurate due to my inability to understand what was written.

    I have just finished reading a fascinating book about Madley by Maureen Hind (and the Madley Historical Society).
    It's a short history at the beginning, as seen from a time travelling machine .
    The author meets the locals who show them around and chat about events in Madley during their time there.
    It really brings these peoples names in my list alive.
    .
    The second part of the book is written and illustrated by the children themselves. Great stuff
    Back to the list,
    I hope it will be of use to at least one person

    What a very generous offer Teg. Like others my family come from a bit further away in Dorstone/Clifford but for those associated with Madley your offer would be a gold mine. I've just 'dropped in' on Madley via Google Earth it looks a very lovely spot.

    Thank-you for your comments Jim and Margaret
    Madley is a lovely place, 'though I have not been there for a while.
    .
    I am quite excited about having all this information at my fingertips
    in books over a hundred years old
    It is just TOO interesting to keep to myself (and my Mum agrees).
    .
    To put faces to the names, handwriting on the invoices and in the diaries,
    makes our past more real. Am still enjoying reading the shopping book -
    more lists of items bought and how much they cost ......
