 Northampton Mercury - 13 January 1844

 Sheep Stealing.—On Friday night the  5th instant, or early the following morning, an ewe sheep, the property of Mr. W. Green, of Kingsthorpe, was killed in a field in that parish.

 My grandfather, John Green, rented this farm from the Knightleys of Fawsley from January 1902 to end of June 1919. The land was in both Fawsley (223 acres) and Preston Capes (22 acres) parishes and I have now ascertained where the land was. I think I found all of it.

Between July 1900 and January 1902 he lived at Fawsley Wood Yard and rented land entirely in Fawsley Parish.

 Glebe Farm, Farthingstone was purchased by the Agnew family in January 1920 from the Church Commissioners. John Green my Grandfather, as a tenant of the Agnews, farmed here from about 1920 to 1936. The Blue Line on the Map outlines the land of the farm and the blue rectangle is where the farm house and farmyard were in 1920.

The total land area was 196 acres.

 This will helps explain who Aunts Bradshaw, Mawby and Cooke are in the letters written by Frances Green to her brother Abraham Walter in America. It is interesting in that it doesn't mention any sons of John. Details of John can be found in my family tree.
