Bill Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Parents back then mustn’t have cared much about their kids letting them play out on the roads at that age. Not a clue! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Has a look of Lower Wash Lane/ Grange avenue. Happy days Well done Harry, it is 1900s' rural Latchford where Westy Lane met Lower Wash Lane, (later known as Grange Avenue). OK you didn't identify Westy lane but you new exactly where it was. Full points Harry! Incidentally I'm open to correction but I believe the cottage on the left is Latchford Lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 OK, whilst we are so clever, where did the name Raddon Court come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 OK, whilst we are so clever, where did the name Raddon Court come from? No Pete, I never nicked it from the 'Cheese' as far as I know it's still hanging in there. Raddon Court was originally a large mansion in Thorverton, Devon, with a chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist and as Sylvanus Reynolds came from Devon it wold appear logical to assume that he named his new house after the original mansion. The Reynolds family who owned Latchford Tannery in Little Wash Lane lived in Raddon Court. This was the household at the time of the 1881 Census:- Sylvanus REYNOLDS Head Of Family M Male 57 Crediton, Devon, England Master Tanner Employ 26 Men Jane REYNOLDS Wife M Female 36 Warrington, Lancashire, England Wife Betrice REYNOLDS Daughter U Female 17 Latchford, Cheshire, England Frances Jane REYNOLDS Daughter U Female 16 Latchford, Cheshire, England Ada REYNOLDS Daughter U Female 11 Latchford, Cheshire, England Daughter Mary REYNOLDS Daughter U Female 8 Coleshill, Warwick, England Daughter John REYNOLDS Son U Male 6 Latchford, Cheshire, England Son Isabel REYNOLDS Daughter U Female 5 Latchford, Cheshire, England Daughter Sylvia REYNOLDS Daughter U Female 1 Latchford, Cheshire, England Daughter Ann HOBBY Nurse U Female 59 Coleshill, Warwick, England Nurse Sarah CLARK Servant U Female 18 Latchford, Cheshire, England Cook Mary ASHMORE Servant U Female 18 Winsford, Cheshire, England Housemaid Clara BURROWS Servant U Female 13 Grappenhall, Cheshire, England Under Nurse AND THESE WERE THERE NEAREST NEIGHBOURS:- Thomas JACKSON Head Of Family M Male 24 St Helens, Lancashire, England Brushmaker Mary Ann JACKSON Wife M Female 24 Upholland, Lancashire, England Wife Robert JACKSON Son Male 5 m Latchford Alfred RATCLIFFE Boarder M Male 23 Warrington Brushmaker Well you started it Peter!

Dizzy Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm open to correction but I believe the cottage on the left is Latchford Lodge. Well done Harry In answer to your above question though Algy... I have no idea. What's the date of your map as the photo I have is dated as c1890 and is identical to yours (even with the kids) but the road names on your map don't seem to exist on the earlier census records nor can I find Latchford Logdge etc on the later ones. Probably just me though as I'm sleepy. Having just looked it appears so far that the census records show Latchford Lodge as being on 'Lower Wash' (not 'Lower Wash Lane' as that doesn't seem to exist until the 1911 census) I guess that's just because the census collectors were lazy so I wouldn't worry about that. Reynolds Street does not appear until the 1911 one either. The 1891 census shows the Lodge on Lower Wash and it was Next to Latchford Lodge, Lower Wash (schedule 4) occupied by Head Robert W Ronald, M D C M Physician & Surgeon from Scotland and his family was Latchford Grange (schedule 5) Head John Fairclough, Corn Miller, and his family. The Faircloughts again then and then Manor House (schedule Head John Bate, a Farmer, and his family. I thought the photo I had was older ie c 1890 as it says on my copy but if it isn't then that means it would be pretty much as it was when my Great Granparents lived there. GOD I'VE CONFUSED MYSELF NOW !!!! Edit coming up later I think Clear as mud....... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit coming up later I think Clear as mud....... sorry Sorry Dizz, I've been messing about with Peters reply, he threw out a challenge that I could not resist, my map was 1907 and same as you it only featured on the earlier maps, pretty sure it is the same house though, that is, Latchford Lodge as it appears to be in the correct position regarding the other houses.
