What did these occupations mean in 1911? Is there any way I can find a news agent in Metherington in 1911?Jan

Hi Jan A Hawker = someone selling goods place to place , door to door or in the street Newsagent = someone selling newspapers, periodicals & magazines Who are you trying to find in 1911? There is the census but also trade directories and newspapers If you are struggling to find someone why not post the details ?

Hi again I assume you mean Metheringham? as I can't find a Metherington I had a quick look to see what directories are available on Ancestry The nearest is a 1913 Kellys for Lincolnshire Checking the traders in Metheringham I see no newsagent specific, but there could be someone who also did it as part of another trade, some sort of shop for example It is possible whoever covered Metheringham traded from another location If you have a name I can see what they were doing in 1913 if anything It may be of interest to some to know what Directories Ancestry have on Lincolnshire , as follows Searching for Lincolnshire gets 1826 White's History and Directory 1829 Pigot's Directory 1841 Pigot's Directory 1842 White's History, Gazetteer and Directory 1849 Post Office Directory 1850 Slater's Directory 1856 White's History, Gazetteer and Directory of Lincolnshire 1863 Morris' Directory and Gazetteer 1867 Directory of Lincoln 1872 White's Directory 1876 Kelly's Directory 1882 White's Directory 1892 Kelly's Directory 1895 White's Directory of Grimsby and Neighbourhood 1896 Grimsby and Cleethorpes Directory 1898 of Grimsby and Cleethorpes 1900 Kelly's Directory 1902 Grimsby and Cleethorpes Directory 1906-7 Grimsby and Cleethorpes Directory 1910-11 Grimsby and Cleethorpes Directory 1913 Kelly's Directory 1919 Kelly's Directory 1922 Kelly's Directory 1922-3 Grimsby and Cleethorpes Directory 1926 Kelly's Directory 1930 Kelly's Directory 1935-6 Grimsby and Cleethorpes District Directory 1946 Kelly's Directory of Lincoln and Neighbourhood Dawson's Directory of Grimsby, 1877 and Grimsby and Cleethorpes Directory, 1871 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > What did these occupations mean in 1911?

Thank you Nivard, you are right - I did mean Metheringham, just got confused as Ancestry had in one reference as Metherington. I found a great little website about Metheringham, Blankney and a couple of other small villages. The man I am looking for regarding being a news agent is William Pacey b abt 1870 Glandford Brigg - he is in Metheringham in 1901 and 1911 - living in Hall Yard with parents and a brother and 2 sister. The other man is Tom Pacey (William's brother) he's the one listed as a Hawker.

Hi again I see your family in 1911 Tom PACEY appears in the 1913 Kellys as a Hawker but no sign of a William PACEY in the area, news agent or otherwise There are a couple of William PACEYs in Kellys but as Farmers Your man could be working for another person who shipped in the papers for him to distribute or sell and therefore would not appear in the directories In fairness to Ancestry the Metherington appears quite a few times and those I checked were transcribed correctly but were most likely a mistake on the part of the enumerator transcribing schedules, those I checked were in other Counties and the further from home the less likely the enumerator would have heard of small place names in other Counties In 1901 Tom is a licensed hawker and William a general labourer on an estate Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Thank you Nivard, you are right - I did mean Metheringham, just got confused as Ancestry had in > one reference as Metherington.
