Find Ancestors

Hi Nancy No trace Bulwell but these may come in handy as it is an unusual name in Nottm. Horsman Albert Edward. 61,Goldsmith Street Mrs Clara 6 Ferry Road Percy Holmes 5 Stratford Terrace.

Hi Christine Electoral Rolls are usually at Main Libraries and Archives for that area.

Thank you Robin Chris

Hi Beverley This is the spelling on the Notts Marriage Index. John Davies married Eliza Bellhinger, Nottm St Paul 15.4.1870

Good evening, Robin, The bad penny turns up again! I only ever have problems. My grt grt grandfather Samuel Baxter married a lady called Mary Henson. Mary was born c.1824 and on every census her birthplace is given as Mansfield, Notts but guess what - I can't find that birth in Mansfield. On the marriage certificate of 1848 she married Samuel in the parish of North Wingfield, Derbyshire and residence was given as Pilsley. Her father was given as Thomas Henson but can't find his birth in Notts,either. Do you have any Derbyshire records which may shed light on this situation. (thought you may have tired of Notts weekend). Alternatively you may feel free to tell me to take a walk! Regards, Tricia P.S. One of the marriage witnesses was Elizabeth Henson - possibly Mum?

Hi robin i have the marriage cert for john and eliza, that's where i got fathers names but cannot find them anywhere before 1881. thank-you for all your help and effort i will just have to keep trying. but i will check through what you have found for me already regards Bev

Hi Beverley I Have checked Davis/Davies in Nottingham 1861 Pieces 2453 to 2469. I have found only one James as follows Piece 2457, Folio 26 Balloon Court. James Davies, Head, Mar, 56 , Collier B Brinsley, Derbys, Frances Wife 46 B Whitwick, Leics Mary 13, Thomas, 10, George 8, and Sarah Plant 15 months (Nurse Child) This looks like the one I gave you in 1851. No trace on John The only John W I can find is Piece 2553 Folio 120 89 Sherwood Street, Sherwood John W Davis, Head, Mar 39yrs, Warehouseman, Charlotte Widow 73 Yrs Hose Keeper. Charlotte Dau 9 Yrs. All born Nottm.

Hi Robin i think that james could be the one as i had a look for him in 1881 he must of died before then but have found frances with some children still in ballon court. Thank-you so much for your time now all i have to do is find out there correct birth places as they keep changing from leics to nottingham. hope it was'nt to stressful for you Regards Bev

Hi Rosemary The only christening I can find is a Ann Harvey, 3.2.1828 at Newark to Joseph and Mary. Joseph is a butcher.

Hi Patricia No luck I am afraid. I have tried everything I can think of in Notts/Derbyshire but I cannot find a reference to them. Henson is an uncommon name in the Mansfield area.

Hello Robin it's me again could i please ask for another census look-up Thomas oliver b 1840 aslockton parents william oliver born aslockton elizabeth oliver born hawksworth. i would like to know if he had any more siblings. could you also look for Mary Cleuro b 1848 plumtree her fathers name was thomas. the spelling of cleuro could be different. thomas and mary married in 1868 plumtree. thank you so much for all the help you have given me over the past few days Regards Bev

Robin Can you please provide any additional details in respect of William HURST b 30.03.1823 in Gedling, his parents details would be most helpful. Many thanks Jon

Hi Beverley Here is what I have so far. Notts Marriage Index A William Oliver married Elizabeth Marsden at Whatton 11.11.1839. I cannot trace any Christenings. Notts census 1841 Piece 854 Folio 9 Aslockton William Oliver, 50 Yrs ,Miller, Mary 50 yrs, William 25 Yrs Miller, Elizabeth 20 Yrs, Thomas 1. All are born in Notts As the are on the same Folio they are probably living adjacent as both Williams are marked as Head. I assume that they are working together as well. In Hawksworth Piece 853 Folio 4 There is one family spelt Marsdon William 60 AL, Elizabeth 53, Thomas 10, Harriett 8. These may connect with Elizabeth Oliver. There are references to Olivers in the Hawksworth area back to 1690 (If you get that far.!) I will do some more digging later.

Notts 1861 Piece 2484 Folio 61 Aslockton (No address) William Oliver, Head, 46 Yrs Ag Lab Elizabeth Wife 44Yrs Rebecca, 10,Charles 7, Sarah 3. All born Aslockton except Elizabeth b Hawksworth Cleuro.... Notts Christening Index Ann Cleuro 31.10.1858 Plumtree, Parents Thomas (Labourer)/Ann Notts Marriage Index Ann Cleuro/Thomas Brown Plumtree, 7.10.1866 Mary Cleuro/Thomas Oliver, Plumtree 19.7.1868 Notts 1841 Census Willoughby On The Wolds Thomas Clurowe 45 Ag Lab, Mary 40, Ann 8, William 5 All born Notts. These are the nearest I can find. There are Clulows in Nottm. A Henry Cluloe 20 yrs in Hickling Pastures, and a William Cluro 15 Yrs in Keyworth.

Jon The date you gave is the christening date William Hurst, 30.3.1823, Gedling Parents John/Mary These may be siblings born to parents of same name and place John 18.3.1827. Isaac 1.6.1828 Notts marriage Index A John Hurst married Mary Marshall at Gedling 17.11.1822. There is also a marriage at Gedling for a William Hurst to Mary Ann Ladkin 25.5.1857.

Hi Beverley 1920 Directory Nottingham Only one shown... George Crawford, 175 Middle Furlong Road, Nottingham. 1930s Marriages will be via 1837 On line

Hello Robin thank-you very much for the info maybe now i can get further back on my research. Kind Regards Bev

Hi, could you please look for a Thomas and Beryl Taylor for me, believe they were in the Notts area c1895 and earlier.Thomas was an engineer, either roads or railway and they had eight children, the order is not known but their names were; Harold, William, Lawrence, Thomas, Hilda, Elsie, Hattie and Ellen. I know that none of their births were registered so I'm a bit stuck. Thanking you for your time. Sarah

Rob Many thanks for your time and the wealth of information. Much appreciated Jon

Sarah I cannot find anything on my Indexes and they do not seem to be there in 1901. Have you found them 1881/91?
