Get the feeling, this will have to be another trip to the library .. that Samuel Sandiford ... was he born around 1807 ?
Dont know when he was born, not really bothered,
I put the name of the landlord in then you could'nt start bitching and say I'd made it up.
Wonder where the name Mandock came from .. doesn't appear to refer to any streets/areas/well known figures in the area ?

Why should every thing be named after a so called well known figure.

Propably uttered the name after drinking too much cockroach pee, remember its got female hormones in it, a few slugs of that stuff and you start to talk daft.

Now, now ... would I question the King .. hang on your every word ... thought you were giving me a clue to try and find him in the 1841 census .. which I think I have. Still, was too much to ask I suppose.

Female hormones ... really ...

Believe the cockroach though is the only creature that will survive a nuclear disaster ....

Mandock - found googling
The Tinga Tinga House, Instyle Corp.
Mandock literally means frog in Indian. This names comes from the fact that the sound produced by the instrument resembles the croaking of a frog. It is used at festivals to get people into a festive spirit.
Performance
Holding the handle and swinging the body round causes sound waves to be produced which echo off the skin thus producing a loud sound.
Placing a finger on the body while swinging it, shaking the handle from side to side, opening and closing the fingers on the hand holding the handle can all produce different sounds.
When the sound produced falls in quality, you should apply more pine oil to the axle.
..so it is some form of musical instrument

Thanks Margaret ... did google myself, but didn't come up with that one.
No matter what Retlaw says ... must have had some sort of meaning somewhere along the line.

You've got your mind in a loop again, why go for the 1841 census.
Heres one for you, say these words in reverse order
without sounding like a drunken Irishman
Hooked, Beef, Oil, Whale.

So that is your next quest. Where was it.

Did try to 'ged on wid id it' this afternoon . 2 1/2 hours in the library.
The Samuel Sandiford I though may have been the one turned out to be a calico printer living in Abbey Street, unless he was doubling up as an Innkeeper !!
Looked through all the trade directors over ???? years .. but guess a bit like yellow pages, only in there if you decide you want to advertise ?

Ged off wi thi, id dornt tek thad long tu luk thru
trade directories fur Acc in theghteen underds.

I were in Library this afternoon as well, but you would'nt see me, I was in the storeroom looking at stuff you would'nt get to see.

And don't start huffing and puffing about priviliges,
I've seen 3 librarians and countless staff retire from the library over the past 40 odd years, and contibuted a lot of historical info and photos, I've got from various public record offices around the country.

Not huffing and puffing about privileges, but is there any way I can find the Mandrock Inn/Clay Inn without sharing the storeroom with you ?

I wouldn't share my last Rolo with you.
You will find the answers in local studies
if you know where to look and what to
look at.
Its no good pestering the young ladies at the desk
either, they can only suggest possible sources.
The librarian that would know where its likely to be is off ill.

If you think about where some of the other questions and answers have been found, yu might be getting warm.

Rotten Ba****d are'nt I.
