Thanks Sharon and Derek, nice to know you are helping me. I found the Ault Hucknall county thing confusing Derek, not being from that area and going on the census records (on some William had said Derbyshire and on some Nottinghamshire), is it closer to the border of the two?
Bye for now
Regards Karen.
Oh just remembered have either of you come across anyone with records of Staffordshire/Worcestershire (another border quandery), my other source of great trouble is on the other side of the family a gt gt--- grandfather born in 1828, can find no birth details, know his fathers name, but mother elusive, got some info once on a possible, but found that going by the remaining children she would have been well over 60 when last one was born, again wondering if his father married twice. Anyhows that is my next quest.
Bye

Hi karen......unfortunately no William Smith baptised Ault Hucknall......just a suggestion.....you say Ault Hucknall Nottinghamshire.......It's actually in Derbyshire........Hucknall is in Notts.

Hi Sharon,
Haven't had time yet to look at the parents of Fred Blackburn, hopefully will tomorrow. Would be interesting to find buriel details for William Smiths parents Benjamin and Mary or any of the Gelsthorpes, also maybe other children who died young. Thanks for the remarriage details of Emma, she didn't wait too long before finding a new man didn't she? If you have anything to add to the message I have left for Derek feel free.
Thanks again, time for an early night for once.
Bye for now, good wishes Karen.

Here I am Again Derek and Sharon,
Derek, me interest in Ault Hucknall stems from when I first began to look for my gt gt grandfather William Smith (the one Sharon has been searching for), on the 1901 census he states his place of birth as Ault Hucknall Notts and I calculated it to be 1840/41. In other census records he says Pleasley Hill and Mansfield, I don't know how far apart these places are and if they were at one time in just one registration district. I have never been able to put him with his family as he seems to have gone into apprenticeship at a very early age away from that area. Between us we (hopefully) have pinned his parents down as Benjamin Smith (1818) and Mary Gelsthorpe (1823), Sharon has unearthed siblings and marriages for two of them and of course I would be interested to know all there is about any of them. I found a marriage for Benjamin Smith (hopefully brother of William) to a Sarah Ann Hinchliffe as I had a feeling that their daughter Eliza Annie born February 1882 married Richard Cook July 1913 at Pleasley, the interest in this connection is that I am trying to prove or disprove that Benjamins and Williams sister (the one Sharon found marriages for) is the Aunt Emma referred to in later years by Richard as no Emmas seem to appear on Richards direct side, that is unless anyone can find one??
Think thats enough to be going on with, hope it helps, Thanks Karen

Hello Derek,
Nice of you to get in touch and offer your help, as you can see Sharon has been doing a great job for me, but if you can add any more info on any of the family members or off-shutes from the records you have that would be a bonus, as you can see the Smith family have been giving me grief for years - what a name to juggle with, but as I can now pin them down to the Pleasley/Ault Hucknall/Teversall area I feel at last I am getting there.
Just remembered folks, when I found details of "my William Smith's" death in 1914, I found that he had a sister who had died in Nottingham Asylum, no other details, name or year unfortunately, thought I would throw that one into the pot as well!
If you would like any more details from me Derek, let me know and I'll dig up all the family info I can.
Thanks again, Regards Karen.

Sharon, Again a big thank you for the marriage info of Emma and Rosa, had a look at the census records, can find Emma and Harry in 1891 but not 1901 and Rosa and Fred in 1901 but not 1891, did you see them in the other years and I'm just being dense?
Any other info turned up? Do you have buriel records too?
A second cousin I "found" thanks to Genes has been on the Smith trail for even longer than I have, and she had recollection of someone known as "Aunt Emma", so will pass on your info in the hope that the married names ring a bell.
Cheers Karen.

Hi Again Sharon,
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to search for me, I do believe that at long last I have tracked down my SMITH family. I shall send off for the marriage cert of Benjamin and Mary Gelsthorpe and the birth cert of William (1840), they've proved to be a slippery lot to trace, but I am feeling much more positive with your info. You are a treasure, I'll let you know the outcome of my certificates.
Thanks again, good wishes Karen.
P.S. Isn't it annoying when things get in the way of our research, as in work, housework etc, could easily do this all day!!

Gerald Report 26 Feb 2009 20:47

Thanks everyone and especially Sharon, think I am favouring the birth for William as the 26 7 1840 as my possible one, looks like they just got married in time! By any chance is there any record of the names of Benjamin Smith and Mary Gelsthorpe's parents with the marriage record.
Thanks for the siblings details too, yes I had Benjamin 1852 as one of the children, any sign of a Mary Ann 1843?
If I don't get any closer will have to send for the 1840 Birth cert ( to add to my collection) just for the fun of it, William has been a thorn in my side for so long now, every now and then I put him to one side and go on to someone else, but he is always lurking there in the background, niggling away at me.
Anyone else found any info to add to Sharon's, is Derek still out there?
Any info on the Gelsthorpe line anyone?
Will keep a look out for more replies, thanks again. Karen.
