Hi,

A bit of information which might help you out with the Searson Houses query.

The Searson family owned several properties in Codnor. Searson House farm off Codnor Denby Lane had cottages attached to it which could well have been these houses. They are now part of the farm. The Rowarth family, who I believe are still farming there will proabably know.

I was born in a house opposite this farm lane
in 1961. The house,29 Denby Lane and the other houses in this yard had all belonged to the Searson family prior to this. Infact the farmer still collected rent from some tennants when I was a child. My father eventually purchased all of these properties which are amongst the oldest properties on the lane (older than the church) and have some interesting history associated with them.
