Hi Patricia Christening Index Samuel Baxter,20.9.1826, Mansfield. Parents, Thomas (Abode, "Bottoms", occupation, Stonemason)/Anne Possible siblings christened to parents of same name at Mansfield. John 24.5.1815,Mary 24.8.1817,Sarah 27.6.1821,Henry 20.4.1823,William 9.6.1824. Notts Census 1841 Piece 859 Folio 3-15 Thomas 56 Wood Sawyer, Ann 50, John 26, Brush Maker,William 17, Wood Sawyer, Samuel 14, Stone mason. All born Notts I have checked Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse 1861, but cannot find them,neither can I find any Baxters in Mansfield on the Burial Index. 1861 in Mansfield Reuben 45/Mary 38 +2 Mary, 72 Widow, living alone James 62/Martha 65. I am waiting for the 1851 Notts Census which may sort this out when it arrives. If there is anything else you can think of , please get back.

Thanks, Robin, Seems odd but I'll keep trying. Always did have a problem family. Just a thought - could you check 1861 census for Samuel Baxter born 1827 Mansfield to see what it says about Mary and any children. I know Samuel had died by 1881 but I don't know when. If he doesn't appear could you check under Mary Baxter born 1824, Mansfield, Notts. I know Mary ended up living in Derbyshire after he died but the mystery over birth place is rather strange. Once again, many thanks for help - it is much appreciated. Tricia

Sarah Post a seperate message for the 1891 Census and someone with access to Ancestry will check them for you

Lo Robin, cannot find any of them on 1881 and dont have access to 1891 so cant check there. Any advice greatfully recieved - have come to two dead ends on both sides of my tree for the time being. Many thanks for your time and help. Bestest wishes. Sarah

Beverley Oliver I have mailed you. If you need any particular Burials checked, please get back.

Sarah I cannot find anything on my Indexes and they do not seem to be there in 1901. Have you found them 1881/91?

Rob Many thanks for your time and the wealth of information. Much appreciated Jon

Hi, could you please look for a Thomas and Beryl Taylor for me, believe they were in the Notts area c1895 and earlier.Thomas was an engineer, either roads or railway and they had eight children, the order is not known but their names were; Harold, William, Lawrence, Thomas, Hilda, Elsie, Hattie and Ellen. I know that none of their births were registered so I'm a bit stuck. Thanking you for your time. Sarah

Hello Robin thank-you very much for the info maybe now i can get further back on my research. Kind Regards Bev

Hi Beverley 1920 Directory Nottingham Only one shown... George Crawford, 175 Middle Furlong Road, Nottingham. 1930s Marriages will be via 1837 On line

Jon The date you gave is the christening date William Hurst, 30.3.1823, Gedling Parents John/Mary These may be siblings born to parents of same name and place John 18.3.1827. Isaac 1.6.1828 Notts marriage Index A John Hurst married Mary Marshall at Gedling 17.11.1822. There is also a marriage at Gedling for a William Hurst to Mary Ann Ladkin 25.5.1857.

Notts 1861 Piece 2484 Folio 61 Aslockton (No address) William Oliver, Head, 46 Yrs Ag Lab Elizabeth Wife 44Yrs Rebecca, 10,Charles 7, Sarah 3. All born Aslockton except Elizabeth b Hawksworth Cleuro.... Notts Christening Index Ann Cleuro 31.10.1858 Plumtree, Parents Thomas (Labourer)/Ann Notts Marriage Index Ann Cleuro/Thomas Brown Plumtree, 7.10.1866 Mary Cleuro/Thomas Oliver, Plumtree 19.7.1868 Notts 1841 Census Willoughby On The Wolds Thomas Clurowe 45 Ag Lab, Mary 40, Ann 8, William 5 All born Notts. These are the nearest I can find. There are Clulows in Nottm. A Henry Cluloe 20 yrs in Hickling Pastures, and a William Cluro 15 Yrs in Keyworth.

Hi Beverley Here is what I have so far. Notts Marriage Index A William Oliver married Elizabeth Marsden at Whatton 11.11.1839. I cannot trace any Christenings. Notts census 1841 Piece 854 Folio 9 Aslockton William Oliver, 50 Yrs ,Miller, Mary 50 yrs, William 25 Yrs Miller, Elizabeth 20 Yrs, Thomas 1. All are born in Notts As the are on the same Folio they are probably living adjacent as both Williams are marked as Head. I assume that they are working together as well. In Hawksworth Piece 853 Folio 4 There is one family spelt Marsdon William 60 AL, Elizabeth 53, Thomas 10, Harriett 8. These may connect with Elizabeth Oliver. There are references to Olivers in the Hawksworth area back to 1690 (If you get that far.!) I will do some more digging later.

Robin Can you please provide any additional details in respect of William HURST b 30.03.1823 in Gedling, his parents details would be most helpful. Many thanks Jon

Hello Robin it's me again could i please ask for another census look-up Thomas oliver b 1840 aslockton parents william oliver born aslockton elizabeth oliver born hawksworth. i would like to know if he had any more siblings. could you also look for Mary Cleuro b 1848 plumtree her fathers name was thomas. the spelling of cleuro could be different. thomas and mary married in 1868 plumtree. thank you so much for all the help you have given me over the past few days Regards Bev

Hi Patricia No luck I am afraid. I have tried everything I can think of in Notts/Derbyshire but I cannot find a reference to them. Henson is an uncommon name in the Mansfield area.

Hi Rosemary The only christening I can find is a Ann Harvey, 3.2.1828 at Newark to Joseph and Mary. Joseph is a butcher.

Hi Robin i think that james could be the one as i had a look for him in 1881 he must of died before then but have found frances with some children still in ballon court. Thank-you so much for your time now all i have to do is find out there correct birth places as they keep changing from leics to nottingham. hope it was'nt to stressful for you Regards Bev
