I have a William Bott in my line, from around Polesworth (we presume). I don't know if Tanworth is close. What year was this? Mine was born about 1759. Let me know.

Hi Listers, I have joined this List today & am trying to find descendants of William Fletcher b abt 1859 in Coventry with a mother named Jane Fletcher On the 1891 census I have two possiblities. 1 William Fletcher, with a wife Sarah, & 4 children. Civil parish ST Michael & ST John. 2. William Fletcher, with a wife Rebecca, no children shown but one Mary Porter living with them. Civil parish ST Alkmund. Ecclesiastical parish. ST Anne. There may be more I have not heard of. The mother Jane Fletcher lived in Mickleton until about the mid 70's. Would love to find a relation. Thankyou.

While "a" Thomas WHITCROFT, aged 35, died in Atherstone Registration District in 1932 Mar ¼ [6d 811] even if you bought the certificate it may not tell you what you're wanting to know. However, if the death was registered by the Coroner this would give a strong presumption of an Accidental Death. That at least will give you a date for a newspaper lookup, which might tell you appreciably more. *BUT* by no means all mining deaths were reported in the press - it was only if there'd been multiple fatalities would there've been any heavy reporting...

If WW2 is anything to go by, in order to make sufficient munitions in time of war, factories used for other purposes in peacetime would have been converted. The whole engineering firm where my father worked in London was shipped to the north of England, where they made munitions in a disused cotton mill. The mill was on the maps but, as someone else said, it is most unlikely Ordnance Survey would have issued up to date maps during the war labelling the munitions works for the benefit of the enemy. Maps become secret documents in wartime (and they remained so in many places during the Cold War - whole cities in the Soviet Union did not appear on any map). MAR in France.

A few mining accident websites ... http://www.dmm.org.uk/reports/index.htm http://www.staffspasttrack.org.uk/exhibit/coal/disasters/disasters.htm http://wkweb5.cableinet.co.uk/ian.winstanley/index.htm Apologies if they don't cover the region or dates you require - I have no experience of using them - just remember seeing them on other lists. They may have links to other sites which may prove more useful. Good luck Heather Q Irene Faulkes wrote: > Thomas WHITCROFT died in an accident at Ansley Colliery in 1932.

I have been told that an ancestor of mine, Thomas WHITCROFT died in an accident at Ansley Colliery in 1932. I have checked online resources and found nothing. Does anyone have any details/information about this accident? Many Thanks.

Hi Lynne & Gwyn, Yes, piont taken but i'm hoping there may be a researcher who has found the answer some other way. While serching the web I found a figure of 400, 000 Munitions workers, mostly female for WWI. There has to be references that have been released via the '50 year' rule. Thanks for your input, Regards Beryl

Thanks Ann, The 'Old Maps' site was linked to the OS site but it gone from the updated site. The OS are producing their own, it may be they have another company producing them: as I found Cassini Historical Maps, 1830s -1835 on the OS site. As yet i've been unable to find the 'old maps' site regards, Beryl ----- Original Message ----- From: "A P L" <annepaling@hotmail.com> To: <beryl.allcoat@ntlworld.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 11:59 AM Subject: RE: [WAR] Local History - 1916 Munitions Factories > > > Have you tried "Old Maps"? > > Coventry Archives have photos of the factory in Coventry but I have lost > the link - sorry! > > Anne Paling > SHEFFIELD, U.K. > > > > >>From: "Beryl Allcoat" <beryl.allcoat@ntlworld.com> >>To: "WARWICK Rootsweb" <Warwick@rootsweb.com> >>Subject: [WAR] Local History - 1916 Munitions Factories >>Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 11:02:27 +0100 >> >>Hi, >> >>Would anyone know where in 1916 in the Coventry and Nuneaton area (may be >>Hinckley), the Munitions Factories were located? >> >>I have looked in through the Godfrey Edition maps but none of these span >>the time scale 1914-1919 >> >>Beryl > >

Does she have a second christian name? There are ten born in Warwickshire between 1880 and 1900, two of those in Birmingham. Maybe someone could do a lookup on the 1901 census for you and find her with her father. Colin.

Hello everyone, Is anyone researching the above names with connections to those I have recently found shown below. Any Jarvis names from 1700 onwards in and around Shipston on Stour. Mary Holtom who married Richard Jarvis 1825 at Tredington. Ann Rymill who married Emanuel Jarvis 1809 at Shipston on Stour. Hannah Grinnal mother of Ann Jarvis baptised 1791 at Oxhill, (father Emanuel Jarvis) I am also seeking information on the family and records of a William Buller who was training cordwainer apprentices at Armscott near Tredington in the 1700s. Any help or guidance much appreciated. Regards to all. Colin Jarvis.

Hi, Would anyone know where in 1916 in the Coventry and Nuneaton area (may be Hinckley), the Munitions Factories were located? I have looked in through the Godfrey Edition maps but none of these span the time scale 1914-1919 Beryl

Hi Beryl, I'm pretty sure that munitions factories would not be marked on any maps of the time! Lynne.
