With regard to your other question about life in Hertford, are you familiar with www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk ? Select places in the menu at left and navigate to the Hertford page which lists a wealth of books to consult. In addition there is A Brief History of Hertford you can find by searching on Google. I found it quite informative when interested in the Butcherley Green area.

Hi, I am new to this list and have just started looking for my family in Hertford. I am looking for any information on a William Henry Oram born in 1805 in Stowey, Somerset. He married a Charlotte Hickman Busby in 1827 in Stepney, London. On the 1851 census he is living in St Andrews Street, Hertford with his wife and family Emily b 1833, William b. 1835, Thomas b. 1837, Edward b. 1840, Charlotte Anne b. 1841 and Frederick b. 1845. All the children were born in Hertford. Cannot find them on the 1841 census? William also had another son Henry Busby b. 1829 (not quite sure where, birth different on each census) Does anyone on this list have any info on this family. I am also trying to find what life was like in Hertford at the time this family was there. William was a Solicitors General Clerk. Where may he have worked there? Any help!! Thanks Gail

I noticed that the Militia Lists for men who served 1761-2 mention three Chief Constables in Dacorum Hundred: Thomas Hallam, William Franklin and Thomas Lake. A list of parishes follows each name.

If you put "meadow cottage kimpton uk" into google maps, it comes up with a building in High St, Kimpton, and has a street view image as well.

Hi Becky, It certainly comes up on Google Maps as: Meadow Cottage, High St, Kimpton, Hitchin, Hertfordshire SG4 8RA. It is just west of The White Horse. In Street View a house in the approximate vicinity has an oval sign to the right of the front door with two words that are indistinct but of the right length to be Meadow Cottage.The Kimpton Village site has an account of the Moss Home during WW2 at http://www.kimptonvillage.tsohost.co.uk/war.htm Good hunting.

I took a look at John Isaac House. He died in 1849 (buried at Wheathampstead) and his widow Ann is found 1851 in Paddington with her daughter Ann who was blind (seeking treatment in nearby Harley Street?). One wonders if the job as chief constable was passed on to Thomas House, the son who took over Grove Farm (1851 census), or his other son John (John Isaac in parish baptisms) who was a farmer and brewer in Harpenden (1841 and 1851 census). With your interest in pubs it is noteworthy that members of the House family were publicans in Wheathampstead, too. Probably they included the Isaac House who was father of John Isaac the elder. Keep up the good work.

Hi Nick, So nice to hear from you... Well, I thought they were supposed to be Leics too, but am trying to cover all bases... :-) And, the will of Thomas, of whom, I spoke, below says he is from Herts....So, if nothing else, I hoping to rule out as many as possible, and maybe make some connections.

The only orphanage I've heard of in Harpenden was the National Children's Home on Ambrose Lane. It's huge, still standing, and now occupied by Youth With A Mission and, I believe, a charity that runs Mercy Ships to Africa. Here's a link to its history page http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/data/answers/who-was-who/who-harpenden-orphanage-dell.htm A friend tells me there's a little children's cemetary up there. >From there it is around a fifteen minute walk to Manland Avenue where there is currently a school. It looks like it was built in the 1960s but I don't know whether there was one there before that. Perhaps your mother lived at the orphanage but went to school in Manland. Between the NCH and Manland School there's also St George's secondary school which, looking at the buildings, would have been around in your mother's time. Good luck with your search Elaine Saunders www.completetext.com

There was a school there in the 1940s and '50s, I think on Manland Avenue itself -- Manland School, which relatives of mine attended at one time -- a hop, skip and jump from where I grew up on Station Road. Don't know about the orphanage -- though I remember a National Children's Home nearby in the same decades. I think it may have been on Westfield Avenue .....?
