Find Ancestors

SO nice to see you back on here!

I'm pleased you have all that lovely new info to sort through - let us know how you get on.

Take care,

EvieBeavie & Dea

Firstly I want to thank you both for being so kind after Dad's death and for all the information you very kindly gave me.

Just to let you know I am now in touch with another GR member who appears to have a wealth of information on the Dinnington Fisher's, all of which has come from Parish records!. He has very kindly sent me copies of just about everything including wills.

I will let you know what's what when I have finished going through his many emails!

Thanks again for all your help, I know Dad would have wanted me to continue with searching out the ancestors, we had such fun doing it together.

Hi to all who have helped on this thread so far - I have just received an e-mail from Spiral (Cheryl) with apologies for not returning to the thread.

I will not post all personal details but just to say that she has suffered a very close family bereavement and is not able to continue with this just at the moment.

She has asked me to pass on her thanks to everyone for all the hard work they have done and promises to come back to us when she feels able.

Best regards to all,

Dea x

P.S. - Evie, I am sending a pm.

Hi Spiral,

Have I found a good website for you ????????

http://www.sheffieldrecordsonline.org.uk/

Let me know what you think - I am sure you will find it useful.

Evie - Re-read!!

'No sleep' is NOT Good !!

10 hours sleep is what is needed!

I will have the same!

Will be back tomorrow - see you then.
Dea Xxx

Hee. I read that as

Evie -- No! Sleep is not good!

... some desperate attempt to dissuade me from wandering off. ;)

Food is better than sleep at the moment. Food, then sleep. I can't remember the name of what I'm going to eat just now, but I shall eat it with Belgian bread and much butter. Polish sausage that comes in a coil ... google google ... oh yes, kielbasa. I'll forget it again now, but I'll remember it in the morning. Low-fat low-sodium yummy. Food! Oh, and a shower. Probably more needed than sleep ...

Have fun!

EVIE -No sleep is not good - Grannie Dea is telling you!!

Take heed from that and have a good night's sleep (10 hours at least by my standards!!) - We NEED you back on this case tomorrow!

Dea Xxx

You couldn't keep me busy with something a whole lot more interesting than dead people right now. No sleep, again ...

I say throw 'em up in the air and see where they land.

But I think you do have the makings of the flesh on the bones I was mumbling over, there.

Just posting this for now - Hope you can follow it - I DID get further but am going out soon - I will try to find the rest asap.

Hope it helps (If nothing else it will keep you and Evie busy for a while !!!)

Dea Xxx

Just one more installment before I go - got to give Evie something to 'chew on' !!

I also found the Hudson link - witness on the cert - I am just going to 'mumble' this all out for now,
I will have to find you the references again later and check I have remembered correctly....

I found a William Hudson (I believe it was 1841 census) - aged 72 and living with a Joseph Fisher aged 35
in Fisher Lane, Attercliffe. (Joseph was a butcher). - I believe the witness at the wedding was probably
this William,s son, rather that him ?

Next door to them, also on Fisher Lane was John Fisher - a farmer, aged 73.

There was a marriage I found of a John Fisher to Ruth Hudson and they had at least 2 children -
1 was Joseph and the other was George Hudson Fisher.

I believe John Fisher (the farmer above) had 4 sons - there was a John who was probably the one who
married Ruth, and he also had a William (who could possibly be yours)?

Unfortunately there are 2 or 3 lots of Fishers in the same vicinity - all obviously related - I had, just about
got them seperated but I need to go back now and get all the info again and re-sort it!!

I am off for a 'cuppa' now (need to 'unstress' myself before my Doctors' appointment - tee hee!) -
I REALLY DO HATE this stupid Vista System!!!!! (Rant over!!...)

Will get you the rest of the info again asap.

Best regards,

Dea x

Thank you Evie,

I usually do save quite often but I was 'on a roll' with one page open for the Aves and another for the Hudsons+ Fishers' - I got so 'involved' I didn't think, then B****** Vista just closed my screen and logged everything off - I was SSSooo cross!!!!!!!

Anyway when I come back I will look at that 'automatic update' setting again (XP was so wonderful !!) - One of the annoying things about Vista is that you can set something to do what YOU want but it will actually change the settings back and not tell you !! GGrrrrr!

Dea x

One thing I can remember - I was following the Aves name which Evie was interested in from 1841.

Marriages Jun 1843

***AVES Lydia Sheffield 22 397
***Crownshaw Matthew Sheffield 22 397
.....................

Traced them to 1851 - This shows that the AVES name is in fact probably correct and that the family, or at
least Lydia came from Essex

I'm not sure if the Aves are relevant but it is useful to know where they came from?

Spiral ... "Chasing Dead People" vs. chasing a dead pig, or whatever they make those round objects out of now ... chasing dead spheroid refined petrochemicals ..

I know which one I'll take.

You can't.

Do whatever you have to do to set the *(&#)%^ thing to NO AUTOMATIC UPDATES. Somehow, mine (XP) still manages to set itself to automatic updates sometimes. I usually get the countdown - I am going to turn myself off in 10, 9, 8, ... and I get the chance to say NO. But I have to say it every three minutes until I voluntarily shut it down. If I go pee, and miss the countdown, I'm outa luck. You remember the first season of Lost?

Lost, that is what it is. But you gotta get rid of the auto thing -- no auto download (it grinds you to a halt while it's doing it), no automatic install.

And the other lesson: save, save, save. Never mind notebook. Open a Word document, save it every couple of minutes. Document X-a, Document X-b, and so on. You can delete them all when you're done.

Take it from somebody who has had too many computers eat too many hours of work.

So. We're waaaaiting.

I DON'T believe it !!!!!!!!

I have just spent a couple of hours on this and found LOADS of interesting info - cut + pasted it into note book to sort and send to you and what happens - Bl******yy Vista decides to update itself - turns my computer off without a 'by your leave' and the LOT has disappeared.

I can remember a lot of it so I will have to find it all over again!!!

It will take a while - will be back later !

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Dea x

P.S. - Anyone happen to know how I can get it back??

EvieBeavie

I quite agree, chasing ancestors is so much more fun than work of any sort.

My hubby can't understand it, hence why he is watching the footy (now i think that is a waste of time!), he calls it "Chasing Dead People" and just can't understand my fasination with the family tree- heathen!!

Thanks again for you help, you really have been wonderful

Spiral

Well, without all of us, I'd have to do work.

Which I must do now, actually, having been dumped with an urgency for tomorrow noon and not having started the thing I've had all along for the same time ... but this is so much more fun ...

Dea and Evie Beave

I agree, that cert is a must, hopefully it will shed some more light on Bill the supposed Blacksmith.

Thanks again to both of you , you have been brilliant! I don't know how you both do it sometimes.

I think the chap that has some Fisher's in his tree is worth a quick email too, if he says he has just copied it from the IGI, well I at least know not to trust his info.

Will definately call back in with the cert infoo when I get it.

Thanks again, don't know what I would do without you!

Spiral

We definately need that Newbould cert - I had a couple of ideas that didn't match but the extra info has further convinced me.

Let us know the details as soon as you receive it! - It looks even more likely now that Evie is correct.

I will keep looking in the meanwhile.

EvieBeavie

No I had no luck with a John Fisher in the 1841, that's why I posted to see if anyone else had any ideas. Those Aves are looking more and more likely to me. Today we would find it quite shocking to marry so quickly after the death of a spouse, but in those days, both parties needed someone to support them, I suppose Love didn't really come into it.

It just seems to fit doesn't it- can't find John or Susanna under the name of Fisher, but can find an Aves in the same area, John goes onto to marry Charlotte, same area again.
