Looking for NATHAN NOBLE. In 1881 he was listed in the census as 51 years from Collingham, Notts. His address was 103 William Street, Swinton in Rotherham. Does anyone have information on this family and more interesting the family SMITH he had living with him in 1891. Thanks, Elizabeth

My husbands great grandfather was Samuel Bray born about 1870. He was the son of Samuel and Ellen (?) Bray. On March 25th 1891 Samuel married Sarah Alice Moxon, the 25 year old daughter of Joseph Moxon a coal miner. Samuel and Sarah lived at Thorpe Hesley Kimberworth and were married in the College Peace(?) Chapel according to the rites of the Wesleyan Methodists. Can anyone shed any light on these families. Thanks

I believe the farm was/is called "Mill or Milk Farm.' Can anyone help me with an address as I want to research the deed for names etc back in 1850 to 1900.
