  • Strange Addresses

    Parents address on a Baptism Record in 1872 is "5. iii. Roscoe L."..........if you were looking this up for the first time, you may be confused. It is similar to many I have become used to seeing so translated it becomes, "5 House, 3 Court, Roscoe Lane."
    I suppose we are recording detail today that might be equally strange in 140 years time?

      That sort of address sounds as if it could have been somewhere very cramped. Have you looked at contemporary maps?

        considering the difference in street names from that time it's now changed to a more respectable Stainton.. Which is where their father was from Great Stainton..
