Etton - not Etton

February 7, 2010 · 0 comments

As an Etton resident, I was interested in the letter from a Chris Ward, enquiring about his/her ancestor, George Landamore, who had lived at 43, Main Street, Etton, back in the 1890s.

There is no Main Street in Etton of course, neither is there a number 43. I live at 30, Main Road and I am the last-but-one house as you drive “out of town”. Looking at the 1901 census (on the Ancestry website), I found George Landamore living in Etton, Yorkshire.

I have emailed Chris, to point out that enlisting the help of the residents of Etton in Cambs, is not going to produce any results for somebody who had lived in Etton, Yorks.

Regards, Mike Heath
