Hi trying to find info on wife's G/father Thomas Reginald Dorman, died 21st April 1936, he was a private chauffer living at Thornfield Lodge, Rossett Drive, Pannal, Harrogate, Yorkshire. Just wondered as he was living in the lodge what the house would have been called. Can't find any old streetmaps with it on. Any help would be appreciated. Ray

But as a private chauffeur he could have had several employers

I thought a lodge would have the name of the big house ie Thornfield House

The 1936 electoral roll lists his address as Thornfield Cottage, Rossett Drive. Same in 1935, 34 and 33.

Hi Shirley

Never thought of him as working for several people, makes him out to be a taxi driver.

Unfortunately Rossett Drive has changed considerably, according to the electoral register he lived at the lodge 1933-36 his death, can't find any mention of a Thornfield house, never mind it's not the most important thing on my to do list, will come back to it in future.

Thanks

Ray

If the correct address was Thornfield COTTAGE, as per the ER's, there was no 'house'

Hi Jcqueline

I have his death certificate and it says he was 38yrs old and living at Thornfield Lodge, will have to look into it.

Thankyou
