Find Ancestors

in 1841 there were 6 families listed in Stonebroom. how can i find out the names of all the 6 families living in the villiage around 1841

It doesn't show as a place in it's own right in an 1841 address search but is shown as combined with Shirland. There are 22 residences in Shirland so you would need to know which houses were acutally in Broomhead as they are not differentiated.

i know the names of 3 houses, Astra, these are
Pasture House,
Stonebroom House,
Stonebroom Farm,
also found out since my post, that Thomas & Mary Whetton lived at Stonebroom House, in 1841

Stonebroom is a village in the district of North East Derbyshire in England.

Stonebroom lies to the east of the A61 between Alfreton and Clay Cross. It has a Primary and Nursery school and two churches, one Church of England and one Methodist. Five households are listed for Stonebroom in the 1841 Census (Shirland Parish) with a sixth listed separately under Pasture House which is part of the village. A directory from 1846 does not mention Stonebroom but one from 1857 acknowledges it and only gives the names of four farmer resident there. A directory from 1895 describes it as 'a considerable village - it is a typical colliery village, and has sprung into existence in recent years'.

Around 1900 houses were built for colliery workers and were called 'the blocks'. These were blocks of eight terraced houses with 160 dwellings. They were condemned before 1939 but still there in 1947 and described by the Derbyshire Times as "The Black Hole of Derbyshire". In 1950 they were demolished but the area of wasteland was known as The Blocks by the locals. From the 1970s new housing and industrial estates were built on the land. Meanwhile a massive housing estate had already been established in the "upper" area of Stonebroom.

The village is linear and was formed from two hamlets, early maps show them as Upper Stone and Lower Stone. The School playing field was once the site of a quarry, this is still called Quarry Lane. It is probable that the name Stonebroom was derived from this quarry which provided stone, it is said that the field behind the quarry was full of broom, which gave one possible explanation for the unusual village name. Another report states that the Roman 'Stan Brom' means quarry.

well hope I haven't overloaded you - those are just some of the different surnames in Stonebroom in the 1800's - could be more but I got a bit cross eyed after a while - there are 41879087 people on th census in Stonebroom

I have never thought of doing a search before with just the name of the village, didn't know it could be done, so I have sure leanred something this evening - or should I say morning!!!!

Here we go. It's much easier with a name to work on. These families are listed as living in Stonehouse Shirland in 1841. The image is very faint and I think it says Stonebroom and not Stonehouse which is why it didn't show in an address search.

Too right Astra - much easier than the way I did it!!! may I ask how you did it that way please

Ann

I used the 1841 address search on Find my Past Ann. Makes life so much easier. Once Terence had given us the name Whetton and I had located that family in the census then the rest were easy to find.

Ann of Green Gables, your amazing thankyou very much for the time and effort which you must have put in, Astra again thank you too, you've both been a great help.

Slartibartfast thanks for the point in the right direction, i dont have access to Ancestry, i know its available at local libraries (no Charge) but i dont get much chance to go to our library, which is a shame really,

thanks again to all
Terry

Hi Terry,

I don't know if you are looking for any particular family, but I have quite a few Holland ancestors born and living in Shirland, Clay Cross and Stonebroom in the last half of the 1800's. Let me know if these are of any interest to you.

Regards Sue

Hello Sue

are you any relation to the Holland's of Burton-on-Trent? my grand-daughter is a Holland (Kara Faye)

answer to your question,, i will be interested, what i'm doing is trying to get together as much as i can about our village "Stonebroom". Its really a newish village as you can gather with this thread, it was first mention around 1841, would like to take it through to present day, bit of a task, LOL
been doing my family tree aswell, but stuck with that now around 1615 but keep going back to try now and again. any help would be a big help

Thanks Terry
