1868
London Gazette 1665-2018
England


The London Gazette is NOT a newspaper - FMP have indexed it incorrectly

The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record or Government gazettes of the British government, and the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom, in which certain statutory notices are required to be published.

Searching on the London Gazette, there's a petition to the Crown, publication date 15 Sept 1868, from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, putting forward "the following scheme for making better provision for the cure of souls in the new parish of Crakeshall, in the county of York, and in the diocese of Ripon".

There's a schedule of landowners as part of that, which includes a landowner "James Robson, now the Misses Robson". The occupier of two of the Robsons' properties is "Benjamin Race, now Byers Race" who occupied Penny Holme (meadow) and Penny Holme (pasture). The rent payable was 19s 6d for the meadow, and one guinea for the pasture.


I don't know if that's the entry suggested by FMP.

Could you put a link, as not appearing when I search?

Is 1868 the date of the alleged article - or the man’s birth year?

EDITED

Putting in his name and the year brings up a result as per the thread title, but my subscription doesn’t allow me to view the image

Hello, in the search results on findmypast in newspapers and magazines there is the above entry. Could someone please take a look to see what it says. Thank you.
