I sent you a lot of information by e mail Derek on William and Mary or Elizabeth Nightingale and whether they or rather which was the mother of Ellen Nightingale. I sent you a 2 page attachment I think on the Allens and Nightingales.

If you want to know more i will trawl back and find it.

Ann (in Glos) quick reminder please....lol

Derek

ooh Derek, if you should trip over a Nightingale or two????

Hi Derek, if you get a moment can you look at the dreaded Meashams to find parents and siblings of Gilbert born 1777. I am not positive but I think his father was called Joahannes (spelling ? )edit..... sorry forgot my manners. PLEASE !!!!

Hi ginny..not necessarily a long shot.........he's probably buried in Dronfield parish Churchyard......If the burial records go as far as 1935. i'll have a look for you tomorrow

Derek

Hi Jaine..trouble is with Census records that Derby could equally well be Derbys..i.e. anywhere in Derbyshire......and don't forget that particularly early census records depend on who the recorders were talking to at the time......"......and where did your father come from.err..derby somewhere...and how old is he? ummmmm about 35 i think..."
And some of the early originals are devilishly difficult to read..whic applies to Parish Records too......

Derek

I'm off to Matlock Records Office again tomorrow afternoon....so hopefully can answer some of your outstanding enquiries..and any more you might post before about 11am tomorrow.

Derek

Hi Margaret..you don't upset me...I'll look for Glossop Records..don't worry

Derek

Oh, Derek, I am just so weary. Your rival, but you have no rivals, tells me that parish records are at Glossop, so even more convenient for me, they could be at Buxton. But nothing on line tells me that. You are probably right, just selected records.

Didn't mean to upset you.

Margaret,

Derek
Thankyou for looking for me, John Randall is on Radford Wharf, Stone, Staffs on the 1861 census as a boatman, still saying he comes from Derby.
Do you think it's possible that if his father was a boatman he was either-the only child born in the family in Derby, or thats he's under the impression that he was born there? ( even worse he might have had no teeth and it came out as Derby instead of Dudley!)
Anyway many thanks for your help.

Hi Margaret...........that may well be true....but I doubt they are as comprehensive or accessible as The County records Office....let me know.
And you have always been able to pruse old Newspapers if you have a library card......
.and i have no rivals!!!! lol

Derek

Hi Derek

A "rival" tells me they have all the Derbyshire Parish Records at Glossop Library, a godsend if it is true. He also tells me that if you have a DCC Library card you can access old newspapers, and he has already found my Saville Platt's report of his two criminal convictions in Manchester in the 1800s.

Love

Margaret

Hi Jaine......I've had a look around for you.......I don't have the Derby parish records.......there are no John Randalls/Randles born in derbyshire around 1835 on the BMD's..........I've had a look at the Censuses...and i can't find him either.........until 1871..when he is living in Tipton Staffs.having married a local girl and had four children..but he is a Labourer..and strangely enough his 14 yesr old son Samuel is a Boatman..if the family were were boat people they are likely to have not appeared on Census returns.
The onkly way I can really help you is next time i go to matlock Records Office and look at Derby Baptismal records..........

Derek

Hi Sadie...I'm sorry that you have not been getting any replies..lack of courtesy I'm guessing......Unfortunately anyone born in 1925 will neither be on any Census nor on any published Parish Records.
The only real chance is with your local Birth.Marriages and Deaths registers. Commonly known as BMD's.
You can try FreeBMD which free online.

Sorry..good luck.

Derek

Hi Derek,
My 3x Gt grandfather is persistant on the census's back till 1861 that he was born in Derby, Derbyshire.
His name is John Randall/Randle b1835 and was a boatman, he married a girl in Dudley in 1856 and his father was Richard Randle on the marriage cert.
I would be very grateful if you get a chance to have a look and put my mind at rest, i have been searching on and off for him for years!
Many many thanks,
Jaine

My mum said she had quite a few siblings, but the only names i have are - christine,doris,george,and robert. I am sorry that is the only info i have at the moment . Hope you can help me. I have put quite a few meesages on here, but never hear from any one!

Regards Sadie

Just in passing..I struggle to help with most of South Derbyshire becasu8e not many records have been made available on disc ro Fiche....Its these sort of enquiries that need a trip to matlock Records Office........to which I go as often as i can..so please be patient.

Derek

Wot, you are taking a day off?

Love and enjoy,

I have been told to tell everybody that I am watching cricket from the West Indies, and not giving you all my best attention right now..I have been told off! mea culpa!

Derek

Derek,

I would be so pleased if you could find a baptism for the following:

John (H) Pear or Pare or Wain. On 1881 census he is shown as born Alfreton c. 1870 and is living in Shirland.

(In 1908 he married under the name of John Wain, stated age 36, showing Jacob Wain as his father. I believe his mother is Sarah Pare or Pear.)


Thanks very much.

Elisabeth
