The articles for the neighbouring villages of Ambaston and Thulston contain next to no information other than the Domesday Book excerpt and footnotes repeated from this page. Given that they are little more than hamlets there is probably not a lot more to say about them either. Therefore as both are within the civil parish of Elvaston I reckon it would be logical to merge them here. Jellyman (talk) 17:35, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree, I don't think there would be much expansion of either of the two pages, and with the small amount of content at present a merge sounds like the best option. Regards, Schumi555 18:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Do help your self. The only plys point at present is that each appears on a different geotag, but as you say there is little different and an Elvaston parish article might be more successful. (Oh and be careful of the pics as they may get lost as you merge). Victuallers (talk) 22:37, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Thulston , Derbyshire

Does anybody know about a property called 'Rose Cottage'? My ancestors lived there until 1947 and although I have walked most of the village, I have not been able to locate it. I have been told that some properties were demolished a few years ago, where 4 newer houses are now situated on Yew Tree Lane.Ian Bower (talk) 13:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Elvaston Parish Website

Hello, Would it be possible to include a link to the recently created Elvaston Parish website at the end of the Elvaston article? The web address is www.elvaston-pc.org.uk . The website, created by the Parish Council, is non-commercial and carries a more detailed history of the parish. Richard Strand Rstrand (talk) 16:48, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

A parish link seems reasonable. The best way to do this is to use it as a reference. If you look at existing <ref> tags then you should see how to do it. However and either way an external link seems fine as long as it doesnt look like an advert e.g. The Elvaston Parish Site - the best sun bathing location north of Barcelona :-) If you have a pet historian then by all means set him/her loose o9n this (and the Elvaston Castle and Harrington articles.)
