Find Ancestors

Hi Wendy

Thank you so much. I didn't expect such a rapid reply.

Was in Lichfield R O 3 weeks ago checking out some other ancestors, and came across a 1912 record for William & his wife Maria

.Unless you were already looking for something else in this particular ledger, this record would be easily missed. They were married over 40 years, no children, so no "direct" descendants . I didn't expect to find that William had a younger brother though.

I can't quite peg down one of our William with a grandfather named Peter.
Am wondering if Dorothy is the one shown living Ashby de la Zouch in 1841 in the household of Thomas Orme, who looks old enough to be Dorothy's grandfather, ? Peter's father.

There is also an older Dorothy ( who may be grandma) that younger Dorothy name after.

And the biggest surprise, Dorothy's 2nd child Joseph, who also reached adulthood and married.

I need to do more research, our Orme did tend to cross the county borders between Staffs/Notts/Dys. Thanks for the offer, will take you up on it if necessary.

Hi Wendy

Do you have anything please for a marriage in 1832 Basford- possibly at the beginning of November

Samuel Robinson to Sarah Bull

Thanks

Kath

hi Kath,

Yes it was at St Leodegarius Church Basford on 4 Nov 1832 I'll have a look at the witnesses next time I'm in the archives.

How are you getting on with your Ormes?

Wendy

Hi Wendy

Thanks, witnesses would be good, and if fathers are named that will be brilliant..

I'm helping someone overseas with this one, but I have Robinson from Notts in my line as well, so will be interested to see where it goes.

Still sorting out the Orme,

Kath

Hi Wendy,

I would appreciate it if you could check the parish record for the baptism of Jane Chappel(l) at the archives.

The NFHS disc shows 4 Jun 1846 at St Lawrence, Norwell but I am hoping this may be a typo and should be 1836.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

Yes I'll do that for you hoping to go over the next day or two. Nottingham Archives is closing on the 18th of this month for building works and refurbishment and won't be open again until next spring.

Wendy

Hi,

Nottingham Archives is closing on the 18th Oct for Building works and refurbishments and won't be open again until next spring.

If anyone would like a look up before the 18th please post here.

Hi John,

Have checked parish records for the christening of Jane Chappell and it was 4 June 1846 daughter of Thomas & Rebecca. I also checked from 1830 to 1846 in case there was another Jane but there wasn't one.
Did find some more children of Thomas & Rebecca but you most likely already have them but in case you don't they are:

Esther and Ann both 17 Feb 1838
William 23 April 1839
Esther 29 March 1841
Mary 27 Aug 1843.

Hello Wendy,
is it possible for you to trace where my grandfather was buried.? At a loss myself. He was Arthur Thomas Wilkins 1861-24th.Nov.1928. Was resident at 45 Halls Rd Stapleford Notts when he died but I cannot find record of where he was buried. Would be great if you could, thanks Veronica.

Hi Veronica,

The records for Stapleford at Nottingham archives don't go up to 1928 soI am unable to have a look for you.

He may be buried in the Cemetery at Stapleford and I think the records are held by Bramcote council, you could try contact them:

Thankyou for trying Wendy, had asked these without any luck as his wife was found here.. Maybe it was a paupers burial for him? Not sure how I can find that but will persivere.

Hi Wendy

Do you have any details please, for a William W Wilson born c 1813 Hawksworth Nottingham. Occ Shoemaker

Many thanks as always
Kath

Eureka!! many thanks Wendy. cemetery came back to me. He was buried in a grave unpurchased along with other unrelated people. Guess this is what we call a paupers grave? Anyhow, now sorted. Veronica

Hi Veronica,

Wow that's great.

Wendy

hi Natasha,

Sorry not been able to find anything on William H James birth so I think it would be best for you to send for his birth certificate possable birth Dec Qtr 1862 Nottingham.

Wendy

P.S
By the way my daughter had her baby on 19 Aug he weighed 9lbs 8oz.

Hi Wendy

I had seen that Baptism with parents names, and also a marriage in the Norwich area in 1809 which may be the parents.

I was hoping there might be a little nugget of info that confirms this is my man , and his Mum & Dad did marry in Norwich. There are just too many Wilson

Pleased to hear the baby arrived safely

Thank you

Kath
