Green Wheel Dam Loxley

[hernethehunter 0]

would appreciate any help or pointers regarding a search I am doing about my wifes ancestors, in 1884 a 4 year old child drowned in the dam, Martha ann flint, according to the reports she either fell in the feeder stream or the dam at the bottom of their garden because of no fencing, my problem is it was between census and in 81 they lived in channing st and by 91 they were in dore. I have looked on a few blurred maps and can see no housing, any info would be very welcome

Hi hernethehunter - welcome to the Forum!  An 1892 map shows a few cottages near the Green Wheel dams - here is a link to a scan. https://i.postimg.cc/P5FPCFCs/Green-Wheel-2.jpg

If I can just jump in, I'm fascinated by old maps of this area. Do you have links to anymore?

 

Sorry OP, I don't mean to hi jack your thread.
