Find Ancestors

Good evening, Robin, The bad penny turns up again! I only ever have problems. My grt grt grandfather Samuel Baxter married a lady called Mary Henson. Mary was born c.1824 and on every census her birthplace is given as Mansfield, Notts but guess what - I can't find that birth in Mansfield. On the marriage certificate of 1848 she married Samuel in the parish of North Wingfield, Derbyshire and residence was given as Pilsley. Her father was given as Thomas Henson but can't find his birth in Notts,either. Do you have any Derbyshire records which may shed light on this situation. (thought you may have tired of Notts weekend). Alternatively you may feel free to tell me to take a walk! Regards, Tricia P.S. One of the marriage witnesses was Elizabeth Henson - possibly Mum?

Hi Beverley This is the spelling on the Notts Marriage Index. John Davies married Eliza Bellhinger, Nottm St Paul 15.4.1870

Thank you Robin Chris

Hi Christine Electoral Rolls are usually at Main Libraries and Archives for that area.

Hi Nancy No trace Bulwell but these may come in handy as it is an unusual name in Nottm. Horsman Albert Edward. 61,Goldsmith Street Mrs Clara 6 Ferry Road Percy Holmes 5 Stratford Terrace.

Thanks Robin. How do I get to see an electoral role please? Cheers Chris

Christine Sorry still no trace. I think you will need an electoral roll.

SORRRRRRYYYYY - It's me again. My Husband Graham has just informed me that he thinks that they lived on Merchant Street in later years. I think that is more of a main road. Could I be a REAL nuisance and ask if you could look for Harry Smith on Merchant Street please. Thanks Chris

Thanks very much Robin - I knew that you had looked for something for me - Thank you for your time. Cheers Chris

thank you Robin for taking the trouble to look. linda

Beverley I have e mailed you with a couple of possibles.

Linda Please see above message. Listed are the head of household only, not the family. The only Scott listed in Bulwell is Charles King Scott , 112 St Albans Road,

Christine I have looked previously and Kett Street is not listed.Every Street is listed until the city outskirts when only the main ones are listed seperately. Sorry.

Hi Robin - I have just seen your message and I wonder if I am too late to ask. When you were kind enough to look for Harry Smith and Martha Smith in Bulwell for me previously, did you mean that you had looked in 1920? If not could I PLEASE PLEASE ask if you could do that for me now. By 1920 they should have a 16 yr old daughter Lilian May and an 11 yr old son named Thomas Harry and possibly a son Jack (older) may have left home. Would love to know where they were living and with what children etc. Thank you - Chris Smith p.s. in 1909 I have them living at 27 Kett Street in Bulwell. p.p.s. It is their ages that I am particularly interested in so that I have a better chance of finding their marriage. Thanks again Chris

Hi Robin, could i ask for another favour please. could you look for Lily Scott living in Bulwell in 1920, if you find her could you see who she was living with. thanks. linda

Beverley Where are they living in 1881. I need to narrow down the area they were born if possible. Is it Nottm City?

Hello Robin could you please look on your census for 1861 John Davis/ Davies born nottingham c1840 on 1881 his age is given as 38 he died somewhere between 1881/1891. i know he had a brother Thomas not sure when he was born age in 1891 is 41 and in 1901 age is 49 there father was called james sorry it's not much to go on but thats all info i have. also could you look in your directories for John william davis wife rose/rosetta living in nottingham. thank-you for this very kind offer of help Regards Bev
