Thanks Ann,
Not encountered Derek, would be grateful if you could "nudge" his thread for me. How do you do that and what does it mean, seen it in messages before but I am in the dark???
Regards Karen.

Karen have you enlisted the help of Derek who has some derbyshire records? I will see if I can nudge his thread up for you.

Have been searching for one of my ancestors for 3 years, with the help of you great lot at Genes managed to locate his death records, but his birth still eludes me, have obtained lots of certificates but to no avail. Following up clues I have come accross with lots of recurring family names I feel I am almost there, would love to prove/disprove my lates idea. This is what I would like help with:
WILLIAM SMITH BORN 1841ish (yes I know what a name) I know from his marriage cert that his father was Benjamin, latest idea is, mother maybe Mary Gelsthorpe (various spellings), born and living in Teversall Derby/Notts married Benjamin Smith 1840? Possible siblings for William Mary Ann, Esther, Eliza, Benjamin, Elizabeth John George and others. There is a great connection with Pleasley/Ault Hucknall and that area. Father Benjamin could have been born in Oxfordshire - clutching at straws here.
Any help would be great. Thanks Karen (wife of Gerald)
