Bath Street is between the Promenade and Lord Street. It is more central to town than Dukes Folly, being that (the Guest House) is a few minutes away from the Cenotaph.
The Dukes Hotel is probably alot larger than the Guest house.

Link for The Norwood - http://www.thenorwood.com/
A little more central but both are close to Lord Street, shops, bus stops etc
I have looked and if you click - where are we - there is a small map. On the left of the map - Lord Street is a blue i that is about where The Dukes Folly is

Wow, thanks Steve.
Yes, his first wife was Elizabeth Johnson, she died young in 1831, possibly in childbirth - they had three children - Jane, (1827),John (1829) and Robert (1831). He then married Jane Kenyon and they had three children together - Martha, Margaret and Betsey.
thanks for the pic.
Cheers, Bobbie

On the left of the map - Lord Street is a blue i that is about where The Dukes Folly is
The blue i on the map is The Tourist Information Office on the junction of Lord Street/Eastbank Street, where the Library is (the Reference Section is very useful for local information) - Duke Street is further south off Lord Street; I would think Duke's Folly would be quieter than Bath Street but either hotel would be very central.

There are locations in our database so far for 3 Henry's and a John. Unfortunately there is no transcription for any of these, nor is there a location for Hannah.
I could make either the Thursday or the Friday, but Friday is better.

Dotty - I am doing the coffee for the mums at the Mums and Tots group at the URC from 10am to about 11.30am Friday, so I am half-way to St Cuthbert's anyway. If you want to arrange to meet with Bobbie before that time, I will just come and join you as soon as I'm free.
How does that sound?

Sounds good to me - you pick a place to meet for lunch on Friday, the 30th and let me know. I'll be there.
Cheers, Bobbie
PS the Hannal Halsall I mentioned was married to a Mawdesley so it would be Hannah Mawdesley's that grave that I would be looking. Thomas Halsall would be her father and so his grave also.

PS
Don't forget I will be on foot so it should be someplace that I can get to from the Norwood Guest House in a reasonable amount of time, especially is the weather happens to be inclement.
Cheers, Bobbie

The only entry in the Burial Register I have found for a Hannah Mawdsley/Mawdesley is a 9 year old from Crowlands in 1888.
The Rev John Mawdesley is buried in St Cuthbert's but I don't know whereabouts. The only inscription I have so far for a John Mawdesley is for one who died in 1907, the husband of Clara.
I have inscriptions for 2 thomas Halsall's - the first one died April 24th 1889 aged 27 and the onther one died May 19th 1962 aged 88.
So the only one I could locate for you is Henry Mawdesley died 1847.
The most logical place to look for John and Hannah would be Duke Street Cemetery but you do need a year of death for the staff at the Crematorium to check the registers.

Lord Street is so long! But I'm sure Bobbie has some idea where things are now.
