The Martins of Marlpool Lane
posted on: 2/8/2006 7:08:38 AM

A query received by email:

"Recently I have found that both my Grand Parents were born in Marlpool Lane in the 1840s: Thomas Martin 1844 & Eliza Hardy 1846. I know that place still exists.

My G/F & most of his brothers worked as miners as did other Martins living in Marlpool Lane.

Would it be possible to ascertain which mine they worked at?"

Quite a few emails have been swapped with the original enquirer. Marlpool Lane appears to have been Breach Road.

Eliza Hardy lived next door to the White Lion - can anyone with access to the 1861 census work out whether it was the Ilkeston Road side of the pub or the Langley side.

Thomas Martin's address was 13 schedules away from the White Lion. Again, can anyone help work out where that house may have been.

The cottages that were either side of the pub have been demolished for some years now, but it is not impossible that the other one may still be standing, as there are some old properties on Breach Road still.

The 1861 Census enumerators walk seems to have been
Marlpool Mill
Marlpool Lane
Langley
Laceyfields Road
So the Hardy's and the Martins lived the Langley side of the White Lion
