Interesting web site Brian. But I am wondering why the Roebuck pub on Carlton Road is not mentioned and if anyone else can remember it. The pub, just around the corner from where I lived in Hyde Terrace, Lowdham Street, was a favourite haunt of my parents and grandparents, my father was not a drinker but would accompany them. I remember being bored and belligerent standing in it's back gardens, if you could call them that, on many occasions. A few years ago my cousin gave me an old Nottingham Post copy of a "My Past" or something like that, with a picture of the Roebuck in it with the caption "does anyone know what this pub's name was".

Emmanuel and Harriett were living in Shirland, Derbyshire in later censuses, which Jenny had found, and the surname is MARRIOTT, so it was just a case of Emmanuel not being able to spell his own name correctly. Not too bad really when very many at that time couldn't even write. Emmanuel MARROITT was born in Farnsfield, Notts. Harriett was living with her grandparents on the 1851 census in South Wingfield, Derbyshire, and was born in Wessington, Derbyshire. Both villages are roughly between Matlock and Alfreton. Selston is just on the Nottinghamshire side of the border with Derbyshire, so not too far away. I have found a possibility for her on the 1841 census as a female servant in Chesterfield with the rounded up age of 15. There is a David WALTERS, farmer, on the 1851 census, living in Stonebroom, Derbys, which is not far away from Wessington, where Harriett was born. Could this be the mysterious "father"? Jenny will now have to switch her requests to the Derbyshire, Rootsweb list. WALTERS is one of those surnames that gets regularly mis-transcribed, so always look for WATTERS, WOTTERS, WATERS and other variations.

Emmanuel MARRIOTT age 21, bachelor, profession F.W.K. (frame work knitter), residence at time of marriage, Selston. No fathers name or profession entered. Harriett TURNER, age 22, spinster. No rank or profession shown. Residence at time of marriage, Selston. Father's name and surname, David WALTERS. Rank or profession, Farmer. Groom signed Emmanuel MARRATT; Bride, Harriett TURNER. Witnesses; James WILSON, who signed, and Frances BAXTER who made her mark. I can scan a copy of the register I have and email it to you directly. There is obviously some research to be done to determine if he was a MARRIOTT or MARRATT - perhaps he just couldn't spell. But why is her father's surname different to hers? You will need to check previous censuses. All capitalisation done by me for clarification.

OK, most of the ones that have gone were not ancient pubs, and they were not as important as some other buildings but they did form part of the lives of many people and so should be remembered. Another of the more modern pubs to have closed recently and apparently on the verge of demolition, is "The Flying Bedstead" in Hucknall. Albeit a fairly ugly mid-1950s building, this pub is one whose name celebrates a part of Nottinghamshire history. For those who don't know, let me explain. The world famous aero engine makers, Rolls Royce, have a factory in Hucknall, and it was here that development work took place on the first vertical lift and landing aircraft. Rolls Royce built a contraption (can't think of a better word for it) to test the unique engines needed to enable vertical lift and then convert it to normal lateral flying. The engines were mounted on a frame which resembled an old iron bedstead, and the sobriquet "Flying Bedstead" was established. This test work was the foundation for the development of the world famous and unique Harrier "jump jet". So although the pub building itself was of little consequence, the name and its position close to the Rolls Royce factory was. I wonder if someone saved the old pub sign?

I received a response this morning which stated they were closed due to the Information Commissioner's decision based on a complaint it received about Powys County Council's closure of such records. The decision can be read at http://www.ico.org.uk/~/media/documents/decisionnotices/2011/fs_50314844.ash x Whilst I think the review is flawed in a couple of areas and the justification used is in my opinion being over sensitive I feel the commissioner has no choice based on present legislation.

Hi Carol , Not being much of a drinker and now being some 300 miles away , I am not 100% certain about all the pubs names . Are you sure it was called the Roebuck ? There used to be a Roebucks pub on Mansfield Road , that went through a few name changes , eventually to become Bobby Browns . Just to add to the confusion there is now a newish Roebucks pub in St. James street in the City that is part of the Wetherspoons chain . I'm not entirely sure where Hyde Terrace was but there is a closed down pub called The White Lion on Carlton Rd that is under plans to become a block of flats . http://stonebridgeregeneration.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/st-anns-pub-to-be-transformed-into-flats.html There is also this picture of the demolition of your old street here : http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/old/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM013996&pos=136&action=zoom&id=65442 David ________________________________ From: "CAROLEBELL48@aol.com" <CAROLEBELL48@aol.com> To: nottsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, September 6, 2013 7:31 PM Subject: Re: [NTT] NOTTSGEN Digest, Vol 6, Issue 200 Interesting web site Brian.

I can't believe five new babies being buried within a week. Was there an epidemic in 1958?

I received a response this morning which stated they were closed due to the Information Commissioner's decision based on a complaint it received about Powys County Council's closure of such records. The decision can be read at http://www.ico.org.uk/~/media/documents/decisionnotices/2011/fs_50314844.ash x Whilst I think the review is flawed in a couple of areas and the justification used is in my opinion being over sensitive I feel the commissioner has no choice based on present legislation.
