I am hoping someone can help me. Having just found my great grandfather (Henry George JACKSON) in Ampthill on the 1871 census, as an apprentice butcher in Church Street, does anyone know where this would have been in Church Street. On the census form the butcher is Leonard Brightman and his entry is next to the one for the Railway Tavern. The Railway Tavern is next to a bakers (the head of the household is a baker so assume it would have been a shop). Henry JACKSON lived in Westmill, Herts, approx. 27 miles away. Does anyone know how long would it have taken him to get to Ampthill? Now this is really eerie! My mother now lives in an Almshouse in Church Street Ampthill and it would be great if she knew exactly which house it was her grandfather lived in. She was very fond of her grandparents as her mother died 3 days after she was born and Henry & Amy PARKER brought her up in Essex. I did go to Ampthill Library this afternoon but only really had time to flick through a few books. Any help at all would be much appreciated. Regards Pearl --------------------------------- Yahoo!
