Children of Robert and Catherine?

I don't have a Robert and Catherine.
Nor anyone that fits into your dates.

Margaret

I suspected they weren't and said as much..just thought there might be a link becasue she was a Bramwell..All the best..enjoy the wedding.

Derek

Hi Derek

The CD I have is Tideswell Parish Registers from Val Neal. Money well spent.

Apparently Robert Brightmore and Catherine Bramwell ARE related - he is brother of my friend's Thomas Brightmore b 1800 and she is sister of our Robert 1797 and Mary Bramwell 1801. Two brothers married two sisters.

Can you confirm the following:

Thomas Brightmore m Ann Mycock 22/8/1779

Kids Robert 1782, James 1785 (died ?), Grace 1787 (died 6/10/1789), Ann 1789, Elizabeth 1791, Grace 1795, James 1797, Thomas 1880, Emma 1803.

Also:

Thomas Brightmore ch 23/3/1758, James same date, Mary 1755, kids of Ralph and Grace.

Thanks.

Not a lot more to bother you about on this family, you'll be glad to know!

Love

Margaret

Hi Derek, still having bother sorting these dreaded Meashams and I was wondering if you know of a CD that I could buy which would cover Repton bmds. Thanks

Madmeg............Hi Margaret.............Can confirm everything you have asked.but no mention of James Brightmore dying.......

Thomas brightmore marriec Ann Mycock 22.08.1779

A couple of children you missed..... RALPH BRIGHTMORE bapt 19.11.1779....buried 15.02.1785

MARY BRIGHTMORE bapt. 24.06.1793

of your list..Grace bapt.1787 buried 06.11.1789
and EMMA batised 21.08.1803..buried 15.10.1803

I have the same Val neal disc that you have..perhaps i'm useing a different format to you.........but i assure you everyhting i have given you is dead accurate.

Derek

La Gooner........Hi again....I don't think such a CD exists..and the early Meashams are unreadable cos as you know I went to Matlock for you......but I haven't given up

Derek

Thanks Derek I have got several names I would love to try and link as you know. I also think that the spelling changed several times and there are quite a few variations of it. It is a shame there is no way I can find them from down here but thats just the way of things. Many thanks again for all your help .

HI Derek, I assumed James b 1785 died, cos there is a second James b 1797. Ooh so good to have you confirm all this.

Best wishes

Margaret

Gooner.....I can list all the repton Marriages including anything from Meakin to Measham, from 1578-1837 if thats a help..but is only the marriages...........Good luck tonight! I see your favourite man is captain!!...but probably not playing tonight.

Derek

Sorry Derek only just picked this up as had to dash off out urgently yesterday. Thanks for the offer marriages would perhaps be a help towards sorting this lot out and I would love to receive them. Thanks for the good luck I actually forgot to record game so missed it Grrrrrrrrr. But hey ho we won.

Hi again Derek. do you have access to derby court records at all. I believe I have found a couple of the Meashams on derbycourts site but I am not sure if there are any more. One was accused of stealing a Drugget (rug) !!! found not guilty

Hi Derek, another little mystery. Joseph Brightmore b 1829 married Ann Robinson who died in 1876. He then married Hannah Oldfield b 1839 Tideswell, in Salford (don't ask, but I am pretty sure it is right) in Sep 1877, and they had a daughter Selina b Tideswell 1880.

It is the origins of Hannah I am concerned about. In 1841, 1851 and 1861 she is with her apparently widowed mother Selina (with various incorrect spellings), which would seem right as Hannah named her child Selina. There is also brother Samuel age 9 in 1841.

I can find a Henry Oldfield marrying Selina Mellor 16/5/1826. Son of Henry and Selina, Samuel ch 12/11/1826, d 25/2/1827, and another son Samuel ch 18 Sep 1831, child of Henry and Cicely (not Selina). The only plausible Hannah is ch 1/2/1839, daughter of Cicely, no father given, but the CD notes "wife of Henry".

Do you have any evidence that Cicely is Selina?

Margaret

Hi Margaret......a starting point is..Hannah Oldield bapstised 02.01.1839 daughter of Ciciley.............no husband mentioned.......bear witn me.it's late and I'm on the Scotch.......Doesn't do my professional credibility too much good admitting that..but what the hell.....those of you whoi have been around a while trust me.........
Tideswell baptisms only go to 1841.......
Derek

Hi Derek

No father on IGI but there is a "note" on the CD to say she is wife of Henry.

Margaret

PS Been out on the wine!

To all my loyal fans......lol.......off to Scotland tonight......will be away for a week......unless there is a signal in the Highlands........love you all xx

Derek

Enjoy the Scotch up there - where else would you go?

Margaret

Oh, that is brilliant Derek. I have this family I have been trying to find for ages. Alan Finlay, born Tannochbrae, brother Angus Cameron, b about 1932. I believe the two men were doctors. Angus Cameron's mother Janet was the daughter of Hamish McLeod of McLeod, born Ayrshire, and they bred Highland cattle and grew raspberries.

I do hope you can find them for me.

Wotch the Scotch.

Margaret

Oh blast it Derek...you could have looked up my Crombie's,Thompsons,
Collins and Stewarts!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Have a smashing time...but hurry back..

Any help appreciated.

Kathleen

Hi Kathleen....was it actually IN Chesterfield or the Chesterfield area??..There are a large number of Tattersall's in the area.
