There is a Jane Pitt in my family tree but she married into the Pitt family, so couldn't be her... best of luck

If his mother was an unmarried Pitt he might be related to me, because of my Pitt family roots, they were bedstead makers, some females I can't find a marriage for. Hilo is an unusual name, wonder if it's his real name. Hilo is Hawaian. I think the birth certificate would help. People did have a...

the 1871 census should have all the inmates listed.

My grandfather was born near there, in 1889. Doubt it was a shop then. I think he was at number 61.

I feel a huge wave of blandness heading towards the brick arches and canal walks, and mural scrubbing explosions. This could be the ultimate ruin of real creativity, gentrification with a gently conservative nod to the graffiti, just enough to turn it into a family friendly Peaky Blinders theme...

I wish google street view went back to 1871, it does go back 12 years so we have to thank them for that. It's hard to picture an area now with garden full of mattresses and faded wheely bins to imagine the front gardens shiny and new and full of snapdragons and hollyhocks. I found a great uncle...

I was told that the graves nearest the railing caved in and were grassed over some time in the twentieth century I believe. My uncle told me that he drove past in the 1960's and the family stone was visible then.

I used to live at 44 Hatfield Rd. The buildings to the right of the bus stop are newish and presumably used to be the factory.

Well my great grandfather was Thomas Pitt, son of William Pitt. Thomas had a brother called William too. He was born in 1850, and died in 1893. Thomas's brother William had a son called William in 1876. Thomas's son William was born around 1891 and died in 8th July1955. He was born in Junction...

Was William Pitt's father a William Pitt whose father was William Pitt? If so we are distantly relaled.
