Thanks Robin. You're a star. This is the first info I have that Elizabeth Harris (Hallam) didn't come from Nottinghamshire - and the first mention of daughter Hannah. Helen |

Hi Robin. I've followed up Elizabeth Harris' birth in Bottesford and found her parents and her siblings via IGI, but I'm sitting here in disbelief as her mother is a Clark - the 6th Clark/e line I've got, including Clark's marrying Clarkes. I married a Smith and he's the only one in the family! Thanks again Helen |

Hello, again. Remember the missing Samuel Baxter and Mary?? Well, Barbara Bateson checked the 1871 census and this is what she found - 1871 - Pauper lunatic asylum Snenton, Nottingham Samuel Baxter 45 married, lunatic, labourer born Mansfield Notts. Makes you feel like crying! It must be him. And it does explain why I keep finding Mary and her son in Derybshire with no sign of him. Maybe she called herself widow to save face. So he could well be in this institution in 1851 and 1861 - what do you think? And how can he be a stonemason, married with a son one minute and a lunatic the next? I suppose the term lunatic covered a multitude of things in those days including nervous breakdowns - no funny pills. Go on,Robin, make me feel a bit better about it, please. Tricia |

Thanks, Robin, They are always out there somewhere - I guess I'll never know what happened to him - must have been relatively ok to have got married. Hope I can trace more details of Mary - she must have had a pretty bad time. Cheers, Tricia |
