Jenny Levine (nee Player) writes:

"My branch of the family left Bishops Hull in the 1880s and immigrated to Canada. But I know many members of the family remained in the area.

Jacob Player and Ann (nee Betty) lived there for many years in the mid 1800's. He was a mason and Ann was a nurse. They had many children including my great grandfather who was the youngest. Jacob also had a brother named John and I believe a sister called Elizabeth.

I would love to correspond with anyone related to the Player or Betty families or who knew of them.

I also wonder if anyone is aware of where the Player's are buried."

• John and Joan Smith (married in Bishops Hull in 1802) or their descendants.

A lady from Portsmouth writes:

"I have recently uncovered a family link with Hannah and James Van Zandt of Netherclay House. James died in Bishops Hull in 1823 and Hannah in 1849. She was there in the 1841 census. Can anyone tell me anything else about them? For instance, do they have a stone in the Churchyard? I would be very grateful for any help."

A resident of Wellington New Road is seeking information about the Victorian Terraces near the Royal Crown on Wellington Road.

"I live on Wellington New Road in the Victorian Terraces on the Royal Crown Pub side.

The records I have relating to my property say that my side of Wellington New Road was once called Oak Terrace. I have noticed a plaque on the building face of the terraces across the road and it says Florence Terrace 1881.

I only have deeds to my house going back as far as 1902 to the present - 1902 being the date which Mr Frederick Ingram (Woolstapler) sold the three dwellings of No's 1, 2, and 3 New Road (housed with tennants next to the pub) to Mr Alfred Ingram (Engineer, London) for £450. By 1950 my house was now known as 2 Oak Terrace, New Road.

Do you by chance know if both sides were built around the same time? The houses on my side are classed as cottages due to low ceilings and flat fronts (so I was told). The others across the street are bay fronted and as the plaque says dated 1881.

I would be grateful if you had any information concerning the terraces on Wellington New Road - and old photos would be a bonus; I would be happy to pay for photo prints."
