I am trying to find more information about my Pick ancestors who lived in Marton cum Grafton. (I think Marton Cottage). My great great grandmother Elizabeth Pick married a Thomas Houfe of Allerton in 1857. Her father was William Pick and I think her mother was Hannah Pick. I have copies of the relevant census entries but haven't got anything further back. Any more information would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for a fabulous site. It is very interesting.

Your photos of Nineveh and the information was lovely to see. My GGGGG Grandfather was Matthew Taylor and GGGG Grandfather was John Campey. I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday reading the whole site. Thank you for all your work.

I live in Australia (so a visit to you would take a little planning), so I really appreciate all the detail on the site. John Campey and Ann Taylor's son John Taylor Campey moved with his wife and family to Australia in 1852.

Would it be possible to be in contact with anyone who may have some more information about these families or the situations in which they lived and worked in Marton cum Grafton.
Regards Louise

My grandfather George May was born in the Shoulder Of Mutton on 26th June 1912, his parents were Arthur Charles May born 1st April 1873 and Edith Hawkridge born 1st April1886, I dont know if they were married in the Village. I have been told that this pub was in the May family for many years but we dont have anyother information. If anyone has any information they can share about the May family in Marton or Grafton please let me know.
Thank you, Tracy

Before Arthur and Edith had the pub it was owned in 1891 by George Armytage Bowler and Elizabeth Bowler and in 1901 by Elizabeth Bowler who was widowed in 1896. Elizabeth was Edith's step mother from her second marriage which was to Christopher Hawkridge. Edith lived with George and Elizabeth when they had the Shoulder of Mutton. My Great Grandfather was Elizabeth's son Herbert Bowler who later changed his name to Hawkridge.
