Another thought what about Sarahs siblings. The name Chamberlain carried through a lot of her descendants perhaps hers was an important family
Barbara

Thankyou Mary,
it was Janet who sent me a copy of this intrigueing letter. I have gone abit further with the Hinds but proving it all is so difficult. to prove I have refered back to your tree a few times, a good reference point.
Best wishes Barbara

Hello all you busy researchers you certainly have found out a lot.

What sent me to ask for help were these notes from a letter.

"Aunt Polly also told me we were very wealthy then one morning we got up

and were told that they were poor. My Grandma blamed the

Chamberlains who took the work machines, the work people and there

families to America they were the first lacemakers to go there. Aunt Polly

went over twice to visit them which was quite an achievement nearly a hundred years ago.and she travelled firstclass to America."

The lady who wrote the letter was born in 1908 and died more than 20 years ago. Fascinating reading but is it true?
Thankyou for all time that you all have taken

Regards Barbara

Mary, do you or Janet know who it was that Polly went to visit?

We have ruled out most of the family - could it have been a neighbour, friend, employer? I've run out of ideas.

can`t find father and son Adolphus and Adolphus in 1881 ,but they both died in Nottingham.

Adolphus junior had married in 1875.

George E C Hind married 1890...but not to a Chamberlain....and is with her in 1911 and also B in law and M in law.

John E Hind marriage more difficult to pinpoint, he`s the only one i can`t account for.

what about this one?? obviously don`t know who married who, but in right area..

Nicky

I`m getting really confused with this.

Madmeg your correct, she does say them....but.....if the family name was Hind why did Babaras original post ask about the chamberlain family who went to America?

If its none of the girls, Maria, Frances or Mary ann {polly] ...none of them married a chamberlain

then it has to be one of the boys, who maybe married in to the Chamberlain family {a distant cousin??} the only connection with Chamberlain that we know of is Sarah Chamberlain who married william Hind and would have been their grandmother,

going to check out all the sons marriages.


Nicky

Dear Barbara,
According to Janet's tree "Aunty Polly" was Mary Ann Hind b.1862 Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Please see my tree for further help.

Mary

Of course, now I've re-read that, I realise there is also

John H Hind 1861
Washington W Hind 1863
George E C Hind 1865

that I forgot about.

Not quite right, Nicky:

"I found some notes written by my Aunt concerning her Grandmothers sister Aunt Polly. I do not know which sister is Polly as she had 5 born about the 1850's. Their surname was Hind. The note read Aunt Polly went twice to America first class to visit them."

She doesn't say who "them" were.

Looking back at Babaras original posting it says Aunt polly went to visit her sister, could that be Maria E born a few years before Mary Ann?

Is this Marias marriage?

COOPE Arthur Nottingham 7b 495
HIND Maria Emma Nottingham 7b 495
Shacklock Annie Nottingham 7b 495
STRONG Robert Nottingham 7b 495

Looks like she married Arthur Coope and then promptly died......guess she didn`t go to the USA!!

Name: Maria Emma Coope
Birth: abt 1857
Death: Mar 1884 - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire




Nicky

This was my thinking Nicky. Polly is most like Mary, 1862, so who did she marry?

Marriages Dec 1889 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hill William Mansfield 7b 172
Hind Mary Ann Mansfield 7b 172

So it could be a member of the Hill family.

Not having any luck in finding them.

Hi Madmeg..

this is like looking for a needle in a haystack...I`ve just been looking at the incoming passenger lists on Ancestry....many many Chamberlains....far too many to pinpoint the correct people without having more to go on.

And as you say ...what if they wern`t Chamberlains???

Anne of green Gables found some information on Chamberlain Mallet and Co. Lace Manfactureres, but if you look at the information it seems that it covers 1834-1844...........so maybe we are looking at the wrong generation.


nicky

We don't know it was the Chamberlains who went to America.

It wasn't any of the Hind sons:

Adolphus d 1894, William 1874, Richard 1907, Augustus 1891.

(Unless there are some we don't know about).

Adolphus (Frances's father) married Mira Smith, so it might have a Smith who went to America. Frances herself married David King, so it might have been a King. Or maybe one of Frances's own children.

Nah, they are all colliers.

You were asking wether the families posted by Anne in 1881 census would still be around in 1891.

I`ve taken a look and

Robert Chamberlain died in 1883 and Mary his wife remarried in 1886 to Thomas Boot, they are on the 1891 census with her 4 children by Robert .......Anne, Emma, John, and Robert.

Thomas Hind and his family are there in 1891, mistranscribed as Hand, he is still a Lacemaker and also Innkeeper.

As for George and Charlotte Chamberlain....... looks like Charlotte died in 1886 and I found a George Chamberlain on his own in 1891 who I think may be him, his daughter Sylvia seems to have married in 1882

So this rules out any of those from the 1881 census going to America before 1891.

Passenger lists for people leaving UK start at 1890 on Findmypast, it may be worth asking for a look-up for the Chamberlain surname bound for America. I only have 1911 now on Fmp so can`t look for you.

Nottingham was a big lace-making centre.

There's a tree on Ancestry by David King, with this family. He seems to have several Adolphuses and other repeats, but only one Mary. He doesn't have any of them going to America. He's taken the Hind family back further.

Frances Mira Hind b 1851 married William King.

The tree has loads of photos.

This is them in 1871:

Mmm thank you Ann of green gables I will have to have a good look at all this

The family seems to be quite involved with lace. I wonder if they all show on

the 1891 and 1901 census, that may prove if and when they went to America.

That is if this is the family that did. Is there any way to check shipping

records for this time frame. I t seems odd that it was mentioned in the letter

about 2 separate first class trips to America. There must have been some money there.
Thank you Ann
Barbara
