Find Ancestors

hello robin. i'm new to family history. this is the first time i have used a message board. could you please find anything on lewis longdon in the 1841/51/61/71 censuses. he was born in kimberley in 1837/8. his father was abraham. many thanks. sian.

Hi Robin could you look for a Birth of William Hyde 1885/86 i can't seem to find one all i know from his marriage cert is that his fathers name was william hyde a lacemaker hope this is enough info Bev

Hi Robin Helen here. Have e-mailed you direct Helen

Sheila Sorry I have nothing on Rutland It is probably with Leics

Tricia There is a Thomas Baxter christened at Mansfield 9.11.1787, parents William/Martha. That is the nearest I can find. I have e mailed you separately. The surname is in Mansfield in the 17.C.

Jaqueline My records are mostly pre 1900. You will need to use 1837 on line for the records you require.

Hi Robin, I am trying to find birth details of Margaret Bacon born 1972 I believe in Nottingham, I only have sparse details, her mother was also Margaret and her father was James Bacon if that is any help, Thankyou for any help you can give me I would also like marriage cert of James Bacon and Margaret (Surname not known) in Derby or Nottingham area. He was 28 on the 1901 census and she was 27, the two children were 5 and 6 so my guess is it would have been around the 1990's Jackie

Could you help with my Baxter line? Thought I had Emailed you direct but maybe not. On 1841 census I have the following people:- Thomas 56 (1785), Anne 50 (1791), William 26(1815) , John 17 (1824) and Samuel 14 (1827). Mansfield, Notts Any information on any of them except Samuel would be great. If you are extremely busy just try Thomas. Many thanks, Tricia

Thank you so much Robin. I don't know of any siblings at the moment, so that's something else to work on. My main objective at the moment are the Claytons, so will see if anyone has any Derbyshire records! Thank you again Christel

Christel These are for Nottingham St Mary, Elizabeth Burton, Christenings 22.6.1806 Joseph/Elizabeth 20.6.1807 Samuel/Ann 26.9.1809 William/Sarah 11.10.1809 Joseph/Ann If you know of any siblings that should find the parents

Hi Robin I just joined Ancestry, and on the 1871 Census found a Benjamin Clayton (62) and Elizabeth (61) living in Islington. Elizabeth born in Nottingham :) Benjamin born in Derbyshire :( Could you check those Elizabeth Burton christenings again for me and see if there's one around 1810 please. I'm sure that 1828 marriage IS theirs, they would have been 18 and 19. Thank you soooooooo much Christel

Brilliant Robin. Not sure about the Hardwicks but the Wraggs are mine. Thankyou. Russell

Russell Some of this may fit. 1861 Notts. Piece 2424 ( Shirebrook Derbys is Folio 8-17) Folio 7, 36 Cottages, Pleasley,(Notts) Elizabeth Hardwick. 18, head, un Married, Factory Hand b Pleasley. Thomas, 5 Brother. Piece 2424 Folio 15, 105 Cottages, Shirebrook William Wragg, 63 , Labourer, b Heath, Mary 63 b Eakring.

Thankyou very much Robin. The two families are correct. The 1st marriage is correct but John Wragg married Mary Ann Coupe on 12th May 1845. I was hoping that Joseph Hardwick would be living near as his and Elizabeth Wraggs first child was born in 1863 in Mansfield Woodhouse, possibly illegitimate. Joseph was illegitimate also, his mother was Elizabeth Hardwick and I know very little about that line. Thankyou again Robin

Hello Robin, I wonder if you could look some WRAGGs and HARDWICKs in Mansfield Woodhouse in 1861 for me.

Russell

thanx for your time and effort anyway ...caz

Robin I think you could be on to something there, I just had a look at Richard's BC again, and it could be Bu(r)ton!! It would make them a bit old though, unless Elizabeth was much younger than Benjamin (b1794). I'll have a look through my notes again but I have to go out right now, if I may I'll get back to you tomorrow. Thank you so so much Christel

Christel I nearly missed this one as it is listed as Burtonand perhaps the marriage is too early. Benjamin Clayton married Elizabeth Burton at Nottingham St Marys Church 18th July 1828. There are the following christenings at the same church to a Benjamin and Elizabeth. 21.12.1828 Frances, 1.6.1830 Benjamin,10.10.1832 William Charles. There is a christening at the Mansfield, 11.4.1794 Benjamin with parents James and Betty Clayton. The two Benjamin christenings are the only two listed in the county at any time. There are ony three references to Bunton and none are an Elizabeth.There are a number of possible christenings for Elizabeth Burton depending on any dates you have. I cannot find any of the family on the 1841 Census

Hi Robin You have tried to help me once before looking for Richard Clayton, you couldn't because as I have since found out he was born in Greenwich!! I'm now looking for his parents whom I suspect may have been born and married in Notts. BENJAMIN CLAYTON and ELIZABETH BUNTON. I don't know what years, but in 1855 they were married and living in Greenwich and Richard was born that year. I would be grateful for any help you can give Many thanks Christel
