Foxholes Farm

[daveberrisford]

I`m trying to find out when Foxholes Farm, (on the Weston Coyney to Cellarhead Rd) went from being farmed by my great great grandfather, James Berrisford(born 1842) who was still living there in the 1911 census, to being farmed by the Walters family. I recently visited the farm which is now derelict and spoke to the owner of the farms barns who runs his paint business from there. He told me that a Billy Walters was evicted from the farmhouse in the mid 1980`s due to debt. If anyone has any information it would be most appreciated.

Hi Dave,

Looks like another relative has turned up. Please take a look at the website Guestbook.

Regards,

Steve.

Thanks Steve, I will e-mail him and share the info I have. Regarding Foxholes Farm, If James Berrisford did own it or rent it, he left sometime between 1911(census) and 1926 when he died at Meir Lane( I`ll have to get hold of an old map to find out where that is !!)

Regards

Dave
