Hello Listers, I have been watching this list for a long time and wondered if anyone can help me. In 1841 Census, my ggg grandfather, Edmund MERCER, transcribed as Edward is listed as living with his family at Sower Butts Farm, Thornley. In 1851, he has moved to Delph Hole, Alston and Sower Butts Farm is no longer listed in any future census. My question is this: What happened to Sower Butts farm and are there any buildings left now? I live some distance away, but I am due to stay in the area from 25th Oct to 28th Oct 2015. If there was anything left, I would love to try and see it. Where exactly is Delph Hole, Alston? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Katharine
