 My paternal grandmother Mary Rose nee Dixon had a sister (whose name I don't know) who was therefore a Great Aunt....? Anway this great aunt passed on a lot of information about the Thwaite/Dixon family to my brother,who gave me a copy. If anyone interested I could post it here. I don't have scanners/printeres etc. so would take a bit of time. Understand some may be in the Gargrave/Settle/Hellifield area.
cheers,

Bob Abel from the history society has already been looking into it for Steve. He has found an entry in a 1910 trade directory for somebody at 6 Colne Road, Sough, which indicates that there was a different numbering system back then.
I'm shall be in Colne library today, so I will look at the 1911 census on Ancestry and some trade directories.
The Kettlewell Crusher was rescued and restored in 1971 Steve.

The 1936 date was before my time, pity anyone who was around then maybe would have known them has probably passed on now. Ian is right about the names of the roads.

I asume that before Kelbrook, Sough and Earby were joined by the newly widened road, which refering to the maps was during the1930's (same time as Barlick New Road)? They were in effect separate villages albeit in close proximity, so may well have had their own local numbering until the new route was driven through and widenend and the ribbon development took place. It would make perfect sense to renumber as and when more properties were built.

Main Street and the old road were the original thoroughfare I believe. Wonder where the parish records are for St. Mary's they may help.

I have a PDF of Matthias Dixons death certificate, is it a good idea to add it to your site?
If so how and where is the best place to put it?
regards

Afternoon all,
I have posted a copy of the death certificate for great grandad Matthias Dixon.
It can be found in "Pictures" , Kelbrook, other objects if you would care to look.
I am not sure this is the right place to put it, but I am sure some one will tell if it is or not.
It still reads 3 Colne Road Kelbrook Earby as the address where he died, but one of you may recognise something else that points me in a different direction.
Regards
SteveR

Tomorrow, when I can get on to the library version of Ancestry, I am going to have a "walk" round Kelbrook on the 1901 census, to see what the numbering was then. Didnt have time last week.

Is there access to the electoral roll?

Hi All,
I now have more information on Matthias's brother Richard Thwaite Dixon.
Richard died at 3 colne road kelbrook in 1949 having lived there since 1901 - Richard was a master butcher.
His death was certified by what looks like a Diane Rankin MB -Rankin i am sure of but "diane" is a bit squiggly as to MB thats a bit odd as well - MD would have made more sense.
Were there any lady doctors in Kelbrook?
The witness was a Laura Horner? again I am sure of the "Laura" but horner is squiggly.
Any ideas?
Regards
SteveR

Back to the census records....I didn't look for names just numbers.
Dr Rankin was well known in the area Steve, if you search for the name on the site you will find more about him.

There were no doctors in Kelbrook there used to be Dr. Niven & Dr. Jagoe in Earby. Dr. Niven's surgery was taken over by Dr. Morrison who moved it to near the crossings. He was there in 1949 (he came when I got run over). Maybe the lady doctor worked at his surgery but I don't remember her.

Me again,
Thanks Wendyf, Dr Rankin was quite prevalent in local history and thanks to Moh, Dr Jagoe was the one who signed Matthias's death certificate, so we are more than sure we are in the right place with the right people.
All we need is to find how the house numbers worked.
To add to Cloghoppers orignal details, assuming that the thwaites I know of have something to do with the Thwaites he knows of.
The Matthias Dixon of our search, brother to Richard Thwaite Dixon
have as their mother Mary Dixon, nee Thwaite.
Mary was born in 1838 to Parents Richard and Elizabeth Thwaite of Bishopdale.
Mary married Matthias Dixon Senior and had the aforementioned sons.
How they then came to be residents in Kelbrook is the question driving this search.
You may have guessed but this is my first foray into the world of Forums and I have to say I am mightily impressed by the links and how you bounce of one another.
Thanks for listening
 SteveR
