Hi Joan, we are a bit backward in some things in darkest Lincolnshire, but well worth a visit if you should find yourself in the area at all. The wolds, of which Louth is a part is as beautiful as any other part of the country including the Cotswold's, so don'r be put off by the silly talk of it is all flat, not a bit of it. As for the Shops act, there was a period in the early 1970, when a hugh effort was made to bring the Regulations up to date for the benefit of the workers in several businesses/occupations, and I was part of that effort to give workers a better working life, That is what the Health and Safety Act of 1975 was all about, even though it was soon abused by the vested interests of the day.

Hello: The give away is that the parents and their 5-6 year old daughter both baptise their offspring on the same day at St. Mary, Wrawby. There is NO other Hannah Markham I can see fitting the bill here. It is possible Hannah Markham was not 5 years old at the time of being impregnated. Feel free to comment. Cheers - Bart. === Thomas Markham + Mary Laming/Lamming had: .. Hannah Markham, bp:30-11-1787 St. Mary, Wrawby. She had: ..... Robert Clark Markham, bp:06-02-1793 St. Mary, Wrawby. br:27-02-1793 St. Mary, Wrawby. On the 06-02-1793 Hannah Markham has her son baptised the exact same day her parents baptise their son John Markham. Hannah is about 5 years 2 months and 8 days old from her baptismal date. Hannah is quite likely to have been born in 1787, but not before 1786. Hannah is maybe 4 years 5 months old, to 6 years old, when she got pregnant. Hannah's son dies aged 21 days old. At the age of 25 years old, Hannah m1:13-12-1813 St. Mary, Wrawby, to William Mundey. .. John Markham, bp:06-02-1793 St. Mary, Wrawby. m:1814 to Sarah Hall. ===

Some shops still have half day closing still in some smaller country villages, e.g. Haydon Bridge and also Rothbury, Northumberland.

My grandfather Robert William Atkinson was a shellfish merchant in Hull from1885. Mussels and oysters were a popular snack especially at pub closing time. In 1907 he became bankrupt and in defence stated "loss through closing shops at 11 p.m. (enforced by Chief Constable)".

Greetings! When I was stationed at Burtonwood Army Depot in the late 1970s (US Army at RAF Burtonwood - odd combination, eh?) Warrington had half day closing on Wednesday and late night open on Thursday (or vice versa, been a long time). It always frustrated me when I had staff duty on the night before half day closing because we would have the next day off after being on duty for 24 hours and I couldn't do any necessary shopping. Today, I'd give my eye teeth to have a half day closing! I do remember asking about it and, as Nivard said, I was told it was the law. Funny, the law required the half day off then folks took it away with late closing. No wonder the practice died out. Really, what was the point? Regards, Susan Reynolds Kentucky USA

Once upon a time shops opened Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings Hardly anything opened on a Sunday, off licence for a couple of hours maybe Each village had a half day closing, Wednesday or Thursday usually Neighbouring villages often had alternate half days, so if one villages shops were closed on Wednesday the next villages were still open and vice versa I believe the origins of half day closing was from legislation, ie the shops act to allow shop workers a half day off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shops_Act_1911 I am more surprised to hear that Louth or anywhere still has early closing, it died out decades ago in most places I know of Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 03/06/2018 16:15, Joan Van Daalen wrote: > Can anyone tell me the origins of early closing on Thursdays, as in Louth? > Quite a surprise when we visited recently. > > > > Joan
