Derek.

Hello Derek,

Thank you for your kind offer. I am hoping you can help me. My ggg grandfather John Walker was christened in All Saints, Derby in 1802 his parents were John and Anne. Could you please look for John Walker snr marriage to Anne?
I have not been able to find my ggg grandfather in the 1841 census nor after 1871. In the 1861 census he was a watchmaker employing 10 men living in Lambeth. In the 1871 census he was living in Sussex and occupation was gentleman.
Anything that you can find for me will be appreciated.

Liz

Do you have anything which relates to Rolleston Hall?
My Grandmother visited there in 1930 I believe to visit her brother Sidney Borrill and would love to be able to prove the connection. He mayhave been a gardener there, as he was a gardener when living at home with his parents.
Regards

Bruce

hi derek
further to the info lorraine has given you i also sent for the birth certificate of mary ann aldridge tamworth 1838 just in case but that was wrong as well
thanks derek sharon

Hi Derek,

Did you have any success looking for the information I asked for William Wilkinson and Catherine Noton

Thanks Sandra

Hello Sandra..the short answer is no..nothing at all..I think they might be from Notts not Derbys....and i don't have many Notts resources.

Derek.

Hi Derek,

I don't think they were from Nottinghamshire. Catherine was baptised in Bakewell, and I have her family going back a few generations. Also, there is an extracted record on the www.familySearch.org website giving the date of marriage as 14 Oct 1790 Bakewell. I know this website is not totally reliable but I would have expected some reference as it is an extracted record.

Sandra

Sandra........my apologies.....misread your message..was looking for Catherine Norton................

In fact the Bakewell PRS give the marriage of Catherine NORTON to William Wilkinson 14.10.1790..........

There is a baptism of CATHERINE NOTON daughter of Richard and Mary baptised 05.06.1768..............but although William Wilkinson is described as Of Bakewell..he was not born or baptised there.......

My own family has come to a complete stop for exactly the same reason.both 3x great grandparents where married in Ashford in the Water near bakewell.both described as "of this parish"..but neither was born there.

Derek.

Hi Derek,

Thank you for your reply. Were there any witnesses that might throw light on where William came from? The baptism which you found is my Catherine and as I stated I can take that line back a few generations. Unfortunately, with Wilkinson being quite a common name William is not so easy to find!!

Sandra

Hi Derek

I'm looking for relatives in Alstonefield and have just found out this is on the derbyshire/staffordshire border. Do you have any records for Alstonefield?

Hilary

Hi Derek

I found this record on Family Search for Barnett Evans marriage to Martha Needham 3 April 1831, in Duffield, Derby.
I wondered if it was possible to locate it and find some info on parents of the couple and maybe Marthas birth.(Barnett was born in Kent)

Hope you can help

Thanks and regards

Maggie

Hi Sandra..unfortunately the witnesses were not recorded..it was a bit hit and miss in those days.

Derek.

hello Hilary.......I don't have the records..but there are ways and means !! let me know what you need......

Derek.

Hello Maggie.........this is a maze!!..You may or may not know that the parish of Duffield includes a whole host of hamlets ,villages and chapelries.........like for instance Belper Heage Milford etc etc.....
I do have Records of most of these places as well as indexes.....and the only MARTHA NEEDHAM that fits all the criteria was in fact born in Belper..in the Parish of Duffield 10.04.1811..and baptised 02.05.1811..she married BARNETT EVANS at Duffield 03.04.1831

Martha was one of several children born to WILLIAM NEEDHAM (b.Duffield 14.03 1763) and REBECCA (nee Statham) who were married at Duffield 10.01.1791.

Their children..all baptised at the Independent Church of belper and heage (in the Parish of Belper) were.

William 19.04.1796..bapt. 02.05.1796
Elizabeth 08.03.1798 bapt 28.03.1798
Francis 15.12.1799 bapt. 31.12.1799
Mary 14.07.1801 bapt.04.08.1801
Rhoda 16.04.1803 bapt. 20.04.1803
George 15.03.1805 bapt.04.04.1805
Hannah 06.02.1807. bapt. 13.02.1807
Joseph 30.10.1809. bapt. 22.11.1809

and MARTHA 10.04.1811 bapt. 02.05.1811

Barnett and Martha moved around a lot..both eventually dying in Bethnal green london..if you don't have their history on the Censusues..let me know

all the` best.

Hi Derek

I'm looking for a birth for Larnces/Lawrence Cooper born abt 1786 Allstonfield. I found some parish records for Allstonfield on line but the volume I needed was missing.

Manny thanks

Hilary

Derek thank you, this is brilliant !

I have the census records and the deaths in Bethnal Green, but I appreciate your offer

thanks again and regards

Maggie

Hi again Derek, through your earlier help I have been able to locate Rebecca Stathams parents marriage 27th May 1767 in Duffield.They are Richard Statham ad Ellen(Hellen) Halkins. There is no further info on their births, so wondered if your records went that far back.
I would appreciate any further help you could give me

Thanks and regards

Maggie

Hi Derek,
Can you please see if you can find the birth of Edward Cope abt 1842 Spondon. His parents names would be a help too and also his marriage to Rachel ???? I don't know the year for that but first child born about 1864 I think.

Thank you

Hi Gooner..........Hooray!! not the dreaded Meashams!!...and double hooray cos i have the Spondon information!!............

JOSEPH COPE married RACHEL JERRAM 27.08.1832 at Spondon....they were very prolific..having at least NINE children through to Walter in 1852..

one of these children was EDWARD COPE baptised 17.10.1841..who married RACHEL FAIRBAINES?FAIRBARNES...in Derby in 1863..not sure where,,but not at Spondon.......RACHEL was the dughter of Frederick and Ann..who agin had millions of sprogs.......

Edward and Rachel also enjoyed the days before telly......up to about 1880....

details of children on request..........much of this is also on the Census Records..so if you want addresses occupations or any marriages of said sprogs......dial 999!!! lol

Derek.
