Farm name?

[Daft Bat]

Alfred GOODWIN was born on 31st March 1887 in Hampstead, London.

In the 1939 Register, he is in Bucklow, Cheshire, a widower working as a Shift manager for a paper Manufacturer.

However, I am having problems reading the actual address:


Is anyone able to help, please?

Many thanks

Not convinced - but Dubled Edge farm.
I am happy with Edge and that the first letter of the first word is a D, then 'u' it is the following bl[?] that troubles me, I think it does end ed

Me neither and I cannot find it by doing a search for farms in Bucklow in the 1940's although I can find Clay Lane Farm - not that that is much help!. I have looked for James W HIGGINSON in the Electoral Registers but the last entry I can find for him prior to the 1939 Register is in 1931 and he and wife Lydia are in Alderley Edge at that time. Sorry, Jan.

I can't find anything which fits in the papers, either searching for Edge Farm (in the hope that something would appear with a suitable word in front) the names of the other farms on the page, or for Goodwin or Higginson. I've searched the Cheshire RO catalogue but have come up with zilch. I looked at the Electoral Registers too. I suppose an e-mail to the Cheshire RO might bring forth an idea, there might be someone there who could shed a light on it.

I found all the neighbouring farms on the old OS map for Mobberley: Clay Lane, Blueball, Yew Tree and Paddock Hill but I suppose the one you need must have been too small to feature!

Thank you all for checking - it is much appreciated.

Excellent idea! I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks all.

Bit late to the party, as yesterday was a very long childcare day, but it's Dubbed Edge Farm, Knutsford Road, Mobberley.

I had a sneaking feeling you would know the answer

Brilliant! Thank you!

The chap who filled in the return in 1939 did have shocking handwriting, though.

This is one of the things that I love about this forum - local knowledge.
