Greetings, The crucial element in locating which Lofthouse/Loftus you need is whether you are searching for a place in the old West Riding or the old North Riding. According to Baines' Directory of 1822-3, there is only one Lofthouse in the North Riding, 9 miles from Guisborough, in the wapentake and liberty of Guisborough; the church is dedicated to St. Leonard, and the village was at the time largely dependent on the alum works for employment, woth a population of 1178. On the other hand there are 3 places named Lofthouse in the pre-1974 West Riding of Yorkshire: - Lofthouse, parish of Rothwell. wapentake of Agbrigg (near Wakefield); Lofthouse, parish of Harewood, wapentake of Skyrack (near Harewood, between Harrogate & Leeds); Lofthouse, parish of Kirkby Malzeard, wapentake of Claro (near Ripon). (Note that Ripon was until the boundary changes in 1974 classed as the West Riding.) Best wishes, Roz

I was very confused about the Loftus, Lofthouse situation myself. My grandfather is stated as living in Lofthouse in the 1881 census and his birth certificate says Lofthouse. I know that it is the present day Loftus because of the numerous references that I have to other areas around there eg. Saltburn, Easington, Guisborough etc. However, according to the 1840 Pigot & Co`s British Atlas, Counties of England, today`s Loftus near the coast was known as Lofthouse and spelled as such. Todays`s Lofthouse near Ripon cannot even been located in that atlas of 1840 therefore does one assume it did not exist then or was a former village later renamed Lofthouse. If anyone lives near present day Lofthouse (near Ripon), it sure would be interesting to know the history of the name and when the place came into existence! Marlene

The Loftus near the east coast was known as Lofthouse during the 1800s and appears as such on some censuses etc. I know this as I, too spent my childhood near Loftus and my ancestors appear on censuses as living at Lofthouse.

Hello Joanne, Thank you for your reply to my request. We don't have such postcodes here in New Zealand Street number and name and town suffices, although I am aware that some places do require them to be used. I shall have a look at the site you suggest and see what I can find, otherwise I'll take the chance and write to the address I have been given and hope. Recently, I have written two letters on "spec" and received very friendly and helpful replies. I am getting closer to finding living people with whom I share the same ancestry.

Peter, Thank you for your reply. Here in New Zealand we don't use postal codes to any great extent - street name and number and town are all that is necessary. In some places I have read that the postal code is necessary, hence my enquiry. If I had thought a but more, I would have realised that "zip" code is the American terminology, too. I think I will try the address I have been given, with my return address on the back and if it comes back to me, then so be it.

Why not log on to the website for uk postcodes? You have to register but it is free and all you do is enter the address and it will provide you with a postal code for anywhere in the UK.

Hello List, I have a picture of army officers and sergeants, I think is of the Royal Engineers regiment. My grandfather is one of them. Please does anyone know how to find out about the regiment and the enlisted men of WW2. Grandfather lived in Stockton on Tees, would the regiment be based near there.? Regards Joyce in Australia

Hi Ailsa, actually NZ does have postal codes, you will see them on your bank statement & power bill. However they are only required to be used in bulk mailing, which is why corporates use them, NZ Post appearently has very advanced optical character readers that negate need for postal codes for mail sorting. Hint, in those sites (particularly North American ones), that require you to put in a zip code, you can either put in the real one or make one up, it does not matter.

Joyce My gt-grandfather served in the RE at the turn of the 19th/20th century. He was billeted at Bright Street Barracks in Middlesbrough for at least a year until he eventually moved out. I'm not sure when he did so but it seems to have been connected with his marriage. Bright Street still exists but is to the east of the town centre right at the top of Marton Road and hence on the wrong side of town from the Stockton point of view. His August 1899 marriage certificate shows him as a private living at the barracks but by 1901 (census) he was a corporal living at Colne Street in Middlesbrough with his wife and daughter. He was still living in Middlesbrough and still in the RE (now a Sergeant) when his second daughter was born in 1907. It does seem therefore that the RE had a permanent base or presence in the area.

Hi Alison If you type in part of the address into the address search option of www.old-maps.co.uk you can find the full address including post code as a result. "The Address search is a powerful facility which will allow you to quickly locate any modern day British address. Simply select the Address option, enter an address into the search box and submit your search. When entering your address, you should separate each item of the address (e.g. house number, road, town, postcode etc) with a comma (,). You may use any standard abbreviations such as Rd (Road), St (Street) or Ave (Avenue). Searches are NOT case sensitive - any combination of upper or lower case letters is permitted. " EG doing an address search on Castle Museum brings up various addresses as a result. Select the one you want eg the York one and the full address will be displayed. In this case - Castle Museum 5 Alexandra Court James Street York North Yorkshire YO10 3DP Good Luck Sarah Spink
