Derek, I am even more rubbish on a computer, but I am scared to death of losing you. Will try to find your nudge on Records Board.

Hello MM..I may be good at this genealogy lark..but I'm rubbish on a computer..have no idea how to give you the link. Just log on to the Records office Board and scroll down till you find "Derbyshire Parish Records" with my name alongside it..I'll nudge it up now..so it will be on today's page.

Derek.

hello everybody..still around, but mainly on my other thread.....on which I am still helping my very first correspondent from way back in 2008.....Since my resources and my skills have vastly increased since then..i wondered if any more of my older "clients" who may not have been served as well as they might be now...should get in touch and benefit from my increased knowledge!!

Hello Margaret..nice to hear from you..yes i am still here, but I concentrate now on my "Derbyshire Parish Records" Thread on the Records Office board.
I wanted to delete this thread, but there is so much good stuff on it that it would be criminal.

Robert has contacted me on that thread and i am trying manfully to find stuff for him..but he is going to be a very lucky Robert if he thinks he's going to get a lot before 1600!!

Happy New year to you too Margaret xx

Are you still with us Derek.

Blooming Heck, Rachel and her Margerison's have reappeared.

Only I've been trying to direct Robert to you, and other people have been quoting a different thread. So can you just reply, Derek, that you are still here, or give us another thread if not.

Happy New Year. Hope the snow didn't ruin your life - for once we were okay here.

Is your tent at Matlock still habitable? I found three hot water bottles this week, do you want any?

Love

Margaret

Hello Brenda. I'm sure Derek won't mind me chipping in, but his real passion is parish registers, and this is a modern enquiry.

The only marriage I can find of a John T Goddard to an Alice Needham is in the June Qtr 1915 in Spilsby, Lincolnshire. I did also check for a marriage to an Alice by a different surname in case she had been previously married, but none has come up. I also checked for children called Goddard with a mother's maiden name Needham, but there are none in Lincolnshire. The marriage reference is 7a/1680.

I have found at least 3 brothers for Vincent Reginald, with a possible 4th and 5th brother, EDIT no, they are not siblings, but I will send you that information by private message as they could still be living.

Hi Derek

Very interesting information you have found!!!! Was it possible Elizabeths husband died? Or maybe she was a bigamist!!!!!!

I don't think they immigrated, but I can't be 100% sure and I can't ask my grandfather as he is no longer with us. I will ask other relations to see if I can find anything out

But if you find anything that would help I would be very grateful

Hello Emily..this is a strange one..because the only thing i have found Census-wise at the moment is SAMUEL STONE bapt 24.02.1828..living in 1841 (with the Henshaw family) in the same street as his parents and their other children.!!!...maybe this was only for census night..but its very odd...I'll look further into this.

SAMUEL STONE baptised 24.02.1828 was the son of ROBERT STONE and HANNAH nee WALL.who married at Weston 30.05.1848

Samuel married HANNAH EATON 30.05.1848....but as yet no sign of him on Census..di they emigrate?????

As for HENRY STONE..no sign of his birth....but his marriage is interesting.........
As you say he married Elizabeth martin..but in fact he didn't!!

ELIZABETH MARTIN was baptised at Kirk Hallam Derbys 12.09.1847 daughter of William and Mary Martin..and she marriedJAMES FRENCH 16.06.1867 at Kirk Hallam.......TWO YEARS LATER!! 06.07.1869 the same girl, with the same parents married HENRY STONE!!

That's all i have for now..any thoughts??

Derek.

HI Derek,

Wondered if it would be possible for you to do couple of census look ups for me,

The first is for Samuel Stone i dont have his exact year of birth i believe it was approx 1826 and his wifes name was Hannah born c1822 both at weston-on-trent, they married in 1848, i would be grateful for any census's that you can find them on.

and the second is for Henry Stone b. 1849 weston on trent and his wife was elizabeth martin b 1851 married 1869 again any census's that you can find them on would be a great help and much appreciated.

Hope this isnt asking too much and thanks again.

regards Emily

Hello Marissa..........difficulty is that Beighton is right on the border with Yorkshire.......the Mossborough Sheffield Rotherham Area......I have been unsble to find what you're looking for as yet because i don't have the Beighton Parish records.......and I don't have records for South Yorkshire..but I have found some bits and pieces that you don't have.

Although i can't find the Birth if WILLIAM WALLER..the son of Joseph and Elizabeth....I have found him in 1841 married to an Elizabeth, with two children Elizabeth and Thomas.......

In 1841 also.JOSEPH WALLER is living with his wife Elizabeth and the two children Joseph 24.12.1820 and Elizabeth 22.10.1826..both are baptisms.not births......this is at rotherham

I can tell you that Joseph's daughter Elizabeth married a William Woodhead (fifteen years older than she) and in 1851 they are at Catcliffe land Joseph senior is living with them (father i9n law).and there is a "stepson" Thomas Waller aged 5...this probably means Thomas was batised (as Waller) before Elizabeth married Mr Woodhead....

In 1861 old Joseph is living alone in Catcliffe aged c66...a widower..

I do have the Beighton marriage records for the period till 1812.......and from them it is possible to give you a few possible hints........

Thomas Waller married Esther hewitt 31.05.1789.......their sons Valentine and Geroge were born 1813 and 1815 respectively.......since the marriage is the only one in the right time=scale..it seems reasonable that they had other children at Beighton..one of them might have been Joseph in c1794/5/6

Hope this is of some help......will keep looking.

Derek.
