Something to get stuck into though, I still got no hits for that, had to search manually.

Hawthorne Dene/Dean/Deene is very likely to be 87 Hoole Rd, at least that was the address of William Morris Roberts, 1901 census.

Brilliant. Well done.

Here is a bit more of interest on William Morris Roberts. The last post made December 2015. Might be interesting if he should know anything about the walking Stick. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be returned to the family ?

Thanks for your last post too granny. All very interesting. Will register and do a post in answer to the last one and see if a link can be established between Dinah and jessie Jones. Will consider your suggestion seriously too after looking further into connections.

Well well whoever would have thought we would have got this far .Do you think its the same chap, granny? Bert? DD ? Greenwood?
Im a bit thrown that the carving is done in the initial of the middle name , but I suppose if it wasnt a formal presentation ,a perhaps more commonly used middle name would be quite normal.

Excellent work Venice & Bert

91 is the building immediately east of All Saints, assuming 89 is All Saints itself makes 87 immediately west. This is confirmed by 85 being the next one along.

87 was called "Shrublands" and has been demolished in more recent times.

Quote
"Shrubland," Hoole-road; three sitting and seven bedrooms, gardens, stabling


The church owned a lot of the land on the south side of Hoole Road in area.

All Saints Church, address is vicarage Road, Hoole.

Shrublands 1945 was a nursing home for having babies. On the corner of Hamilton Street.

All Saint's Church was built in 1867....the land must have belonged to another if we look at some of the details on this.

Commercial travellers AGAIN ! (I hope it wasn't a naughty place) shocked

Can take hardly any credit DD. Results mostly down to bert granny and yourself . Im an ignoramus when it comes to how to go about digging out the info for things like this . You lot are the expert seekers and finders. I wonder if we will ever find why M Roberts was given this stick and why it had the 2x2's !
Thanks again everyone. Will let you know if any more comes of it.

Known as 'The North Wales Travellers'. That might be where the cane comes into play , possibly some sort of society.

Bert might be able to get the remainder of this article. Give an insight as to what Shrublands was used for.(maybe)


chair was taken by Mr Robert Evans, Shrublands. Chester, the doyen of the North Wales travellers. The vice-chair was ocoupied by onr townsman. Mr Lewis Hartley, and Messrs J. O. Morris, Rees Watkins, J. Evans, and J. G. Hughes, were amongst, those preeent. After the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman proposed the health of Mr E. H. Owen, and invited those present to speak to the toast. Testimony was…

The North Wales Chronicle and Advertiser for the…

6th May 1893 (Welsh Newspapers online)

Also William Morris Roberts was also listed at the same address (i.e.Shrublands) on the following. Under Chester W.M.Roberts but I don't know what for.

Enjoyed it Venice. Wishing you well in your continued searching.
