Hi all, My ex neighbours have just moved into a new house on Kiln Road, Thundersley. It is just over a 100 years old and apparently it was called 'Rushmere'. Can anyone find any information on the house? Was it listed in the 1901 census? Would appreciate any help at all as it would be nice to have some background to the history of the house. Thanks in advance, Diana
100 years ago would make it built in 1908 which is 7 years after the 1901 census ----- Original Message ----- From: <Dianadiluca@aol.com> To: <> Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 10:55 PM Subject: Re: [Ess] Rushmere - Kiln Road - Thundersley > > > Hi all, > > My ex neighbours have just moved into a new house on Kiln Road, > Thundersley. > It is just over a 100 years old and apparently it was called 'Rushmere'. > > Can anyone find any information on the house?

A trip to the local library to look at the relevant Kelly's Directory may help as house names are often listed in the years before houses were numbered. They may also have (depending on your library) large scale Ordnance Survey maps which may help pinpoint the position of the house relative to roads etc so that you can then map the information on the 1901 census to it.
