    3. Hi Lynne It appears that Derby Hall was an area or terrace of houses, rather than a single building In 1851 there are the following enumerated Basin Navigation Inn Bugsworth Hall (2 x dwellings) Bugsworth cottages (3 x dwellings) Derby Hall (8 x dwellings) Top Moore Waterside The 8 dwellings enumerated Derby Hall are three unoccupied, of the others they are mostly labourers, lime kiln workers etc, the most qualified being a letter carrier I would hazard a guess Derby Hall may be the row next to the church Unfortunately the census on findmypast does not have the enumeration description easily available which may help to determine the location in relation to other named places (first page of an enumeration section) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 22/07/2016 00:39, Lynne Simpson via wrote: > Hello the list > > > > I am deep into writing up my own Derbyshire history and I would really > appreciate some help. > > > > My 3xg grandfather James had a brother Moses who was born at Derby Hall when > his father was schoolmaster in Bugsworth.
