Find Ancestors

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

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

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

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

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.

Hiya Robin,If you have time could you see if you can find a birth/Christening of a Thomas Orton Hickling in 1892.The family were living in Radford,Notts in 1891.His parents names are Alfred William and Betty(dont know her surname) Thanks in advance Anna

Hi Rosemary I cannot find Soloman 1861 in Southwell or Rolleston areas, Pieces 2470/2472. I assume that he is still single and will be working on a farm somewhere. I will do a bit more checking in the area.

Anna No trace on my Indexes for Christening or Marriage. Thomas is on Free BMD Sept Q 1891 Nottingham 7b 298

Thanks Robin, This is getting quite interesting. My great grandfather was born in 1852 so I suspect that inbetween then and 1861 Samuel has 'disappeared' and Mary has re-located to Derbyshire with son. I doubt if they had any other children - will you post a message when you get 1851?? Many thanks, Tricia

Hi Robin. Are you still doing look-ups. You've looked up this family for me before. I'm still trying to pin down Daniel and Elizabeth Harris. You found them on the '41 census for me at Cotgrave, but I have no more sightings of them. Their son Francis is still in Cotgrave in 1881. Son William married in Tideswell in 1862, but he wasn't there in '61. Also, any Hallams in the West Bridgford area? Can yuo help me again please. Thanks Helen

A Daniel Harris/Elizabeth Hallam, Married West Bridgford 16.10.1828. I also found this christening at Arnold 4.6.1809 which may fit. Daniel Harris,Parents James/Mary. If the Hallams you are looking for are Elizabeths parents, you will need Leics
