Send a message to the person who requested a photo of the grave monument of John Steedman with the following comment:
I found in my sister's house in Mapperley original deeds for the sale of the land upon which her house was built in the early 1900s. The purchasers were John Steedman and James Tolley Grover. The house stands in Steedman Avenue and the land originally belonged to the Earl of Carnarvon, who, I believe, sold this land to help fund one of his archaeological expeditions to Egypt. I'm putting together a history of the house and its purchasers with the intention of donating these deeds and any information I've gleaned to the local history society or maybe the Nottingham Archives. I'm trying to gather as much information as I can and stumbled on your excellent site by accident. I'd be very grateful for this image. Thank you.Lesley Whitcombe
