Hi Derek
Do you have records for Belper, by any chance? Am looking for a Constance Archer b 1905.
Her mother was Annie Archer nee Unsworth, on her marriage cert. 1927 Constances states father as Samuel but Annie separated from him on 1901 census (can't find find them on 1911 census) It's a long shot that this could be the Constance I'm looking for.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Derek

I'm back on the trail of Twiggs and Sleighs, after a break on another family. You gave me John Twigg marrying Judith Sleigh, 29.6.1785 at Sterndale, and their children. I have found a Judith Sleigh ch Oct 1762 at Hartington, parents Henry Sleigh and Mary (believed Naden, married 30 Dec 1751 Hartington. You said (a while ago now) that you had a family for Judith Sleigh and lots of Twiggs, so any more info that you have much appreciated.

Derek Report 21 May 2009 19:35

Hi Margaret..just a quickie for now. i'm off out for an hoour,so will be back later........Most of the Sleighs..loads of them..came from Hartington. A few,,and the Twiggs came from East Sterndale..might be fun trying to link up all the Sleighs,if I can!! I think it might double your Tree..and the Sleighs of hartington were SLIGHS in the 17th century.....

Later.

Good morning Margaret........

OK;....HENRY SLEIGH married MARY NADEN 20.12.1751

I'm trying to get back before these two, but unless henry was 37 when he married and Mary was only 14..I've got to look further.

Henry and Mary had three children:

JOSEPH 19.01.1754
JOHN 10.02.1757
JUDITH 06.10.1762 (married John Twigg 29.06.1785)

Joseph married MARY SKIDMORE 21.09.1778 and had two children:

ELIZABETH 08.11.1778
ANN 04.06.1780

Joseph died 16.06.1781, and mary Skidmore doed a Pauper 06.06.1792

Mary Naden died 22.12.1775..and Henry starved to death out on the moors 13.01.1793.

You might think I've mixed the two Mary's up, but Mary died 1775 is listed as "wife of Henry".

In case you haven't got them, the children of JOHN TWIGG and JUDITH SLEIGH were as follows:

Samuel 18.02.1787
William 30.08.1789
Mary 08.07.1792 (died 07.03.1793)
Elizabeth 07.01.1797
Joseph 23.11.1800
Mary 14.01.1803
Benjamin 27.10.1805

Depending on how far you want to go..I do have the next generation of some of these children

More later

Thanks Derek. You had already given me the children of John and Judith. I don't think I need any more info on them going forwards.

Re Henry Sleigh and Mary Naden, there is another Henry Sleigh b 1717 married to Elizabeth Critchlow (according to another Genes member)., with 8 children. I did toy with him having married twice - Mary second - but some of his children with Elizabeth were born after he married Mary, so it's a different fella.

Hi Margaret..there is also another henry born Hartington 1716......and I have a Mary (Maria) Naden born about the same time in Hope.....

Hi Derek, Mad meg told me about you. Thinks you will be able to help. I am trying to trace back pre 1837 my family in the Hayfield, Chapple en le Frith areas.

I have been to the Mormon family history centre and their records did not really help a lot. What I hope you can help me with is this: Are there any CDs on the market that cover this area. I was thinking of Bishops transcripts and church records. I'm not even sure what parish I need to be looking at. Have you any advice for me.

Look foreard to hearing from you,

Joan
