    1. [NTT] Scarcliffe Lanes and PARSONS research
    2. Jack Richards
    3. I refer to a recent posting as to the location of Scarcliffe Lanes and one reply. Yes, it is a specific location within the village of Scarcliffe (the outskirts) and is in fact nowadays the country road between Hillstown and Langwith which now has the road number as A632. When I write Hillstown - actually I mean that Scarcliffe Lanes really starts at the junction / cross roads with the main Scarcliffe to Clowne road and when I say Langwith - that is correct but when Scarcliffe Lanes approach the area of Langwith the road divides - one going to Upper Langwith and one to Nether (my word) Langwith. This is an open country road (lane) no buildings thereon - if you look at my web site and find the chapter Crashed aircraft - Halifax LK remembered you will see an image of Scarcliffe Grange - this photo was taken circa 1950s by a person standing more or less on the now A632. Also you may find bits and pieces about Scarcliffe on my web site - Scarcliffe Lanes would be even more rural (isolated) in the period of research mentioned. Also mention is made of the name PARSONS - I looked at my notes and can find 3 baptisms 1853,1858 and 1859, 3 marriages 1767,1803 and 1906, also 2 burials Ann PARSNS 29.12.1840 age n/k and Mary Ann PARSONS age 3yrs on 19.02.1841. I found Basil PARSONS born 26.05.1931 starting Scarcliffe village school on the 24 May 1937 - his father was Albert ?? (writing very feint) no 262 in the school admittance register. Possibly too late for your research. Jack Richards www.richardsbygonetimes.co.uk
