Trying to locate any next of kin to Lillian Turner, now deceased that lived on Bridge Street, Long Eaton, England, which is near Nottingham. She passed after 1975.

Have bit of an unusual request:

She bought a burial plot in 1975 for her neighbor, Michael Fitzgerald, and since she has passed, someone that is her next of kin has to give permission for a gravestone to be placed on Michael Fitzgerald's grave.

WINKS in Blyth

Liz Davies — 12 Nov 2000 12:00:00 GMT

I'm trying to find the baptisms of Richard Winks and Elizabeth Moore, who married in Blyth, Notts in 1804 and then moved to Lincolnshire, finally settling in Keelby.

MITCHELL in Nottinghamshire

mlscpa_1 — 12 May 2008 12:45:10 GMT

Does anyone trace back to an ancestor with the surname Mitchell in Nottinghamshire, most likely in South or North Collingham? I am specifically looking for children of Samuel Mitchell (wife unknown as yet) who were born between 1809 and roughly 1830. He is supposed to have fathered some 15(!) children. I have found two of them in the US so far, in different states, but definitely his daughters.

I am also looking for Mitchells born in South Collingham between 1780 and 1795, parents Richard Mitchell and Sarah Harvey. I am pretty sure on the Harvey, having found a marriage record that fits perfectly. These children's names were: Sarah (most likely died young), Elizabeth, William, Richard, Samuel (my line), Ann, Sarah (yes again which led to the assumption that the first one died early).

One last request is that I am looking for anyone with a Ridall from the same area in their family tree.

Any help is much appreciated, and I will be happy to help you if I can.

descendants of Thomas MARSHALL and Sarah SPICK, married in 1865 in Southwell, Notts.

paulmarshall971 — 10 May 2008 6:59:49 GMT

Looking for any information regarding the descendants of Thomas MARSHALL and Sarah SPICK, who were married in 1865 in Southwell, Notts.

They had 8 children born between 1865 and 1889. It has been said that Thomas and Sarah may have died in a house fire at a farm in Stapleford, some time around 1895 - can anyone verify this ?

The family were in Bramcote in 1891.

The 2 youngest children, Alice & James, were adopted by the eldest son, John and his wife, Dinah HERBERT.

I think the gtgranddaughter of Alice posted a message on this board some years ago and I have been trying to get in touch but without success.

The second son, Francis, was my gtgrandfather and he moved to Chesterfield and married Sarah Hannah HAYES IN 1893.

I can find no trace of the other 4 children after 1891 ...

Any help appreciated,

Thank you,

Paul Marshall

Suicide in Nottinghamshire 1968?

topmarxcats — 18 Apr 2008 10:43:41 GMT

In 1968 the body of a man was found on the Railway lines in Nottinghamshire.

He had walked up to I think the next village.
The gossip says that his clothes were found folded at the side of the track and he was naked. There were also I believe rumours of murder.

There was a short piece in the newspaper about his death.
His family refuse to speak of it.

Is there any way I can find if he took his own life or was it an accident.

Francis & Sarah GLOVER nee WELLS - burial records of All Saints Church, Misterton, Notts.

christineasimpson — 2 Apr 2008 7:45:44 GMT

Hi

I wonder if anyone has access to the burial records of All Saints Church, Misterton, Notts. or can tell me where I can access them.

I have found a baptism for a Francis Glover, parents Francis and Sarah, at Misterton, Notts, on 24 Sep 1826 (IGI). Francis and Sarah Wells married at Clarborough, Notts, in 1823. I can find no trace of any of the family on the 1841 or 1851 census. However, their other son, George, a Waterman, I think born 1828 Hillmorton, Warks (IGI and he gives his birthplace as Coventry in later census), married in Misterton in 1864.

I presume the parents and their son, Francis, died before the 1841 Census.

Regards
Christine

FARMER family of Sutton in Ashfield 1914

john1sk8unisscbc0l8tfhcd9avie4ksl — 24 Mar 2008 10:28:48 GMT

I am trying to trace a Thomas Farmer and associated family who would have had connections with Sutton in Ashfield in 1914. In particular with number 1 Lord Street in the town at that time. Thomas Farmer was an informant present at time of death on a death certificate, he could have been a neighbour, a doctor or possible employer of the deceased person. Lord Street has long since been demolished.

Would be very interested to hear from anyone researching Farmers in the area or if anyone has pictures or photos of the Lord Street area circa 1914.

Thanks John

SHACKLOCK in North Notts

shacklock — 6 Mar 2008 1:52:24 GMT

Hello

This is the first time I've posted to the boards, though I've been investigating for a while!

I'm trying to find my husbands 4g grandfather James Shacklock in the 1851 census.

I have him in 1841 in Harworth Notts,
James age 50, shepherd
Ann age 30
Thomas age 50, labourer (possibly a brother?)

and also in the 1861 and 1871 censuses, still in Harworth
in 1861
James head 75 widower Ag Lab born Notts Deacols (?spelling)
Thomas son 52 single Ag Lab born Notts Blyth
Elizabeth dau 49 single born Notts Blyth

and in 1871
James head 85 widower shepherd born Clayworth Notts
Elizabeth dau 59 single housekeeper born Blyth Notts.

He was christened 11 Apr 1785 in Clayworth, married Ann Hill 13 Jul 1807 in Blyth and died Dec quarter 1874 age 90 (ref Worksop 7b 23). It looks as though Ann died before 1837 though I have not found any records for that.

Given that he is in the same place in 1841 and 1861, can anyone give me any pointers about how to find him in 1851?

Look forward to any ideas! Thanks in advance

Stanley and Lillie Goat ne Renshaw married 1899 (registered Chesterfield). They had seven children that I have found, all births registered in East Retford: Agnes Hannah c1900, George William 1901, Edith 1903, Stanley 1905, Lily 1914 plus two daughters born 1911 and 1915 who were registered simply as female. What were their names? Are there any descendants of the family out there?

Stanley's maternal grandfather Thomas Ellingham was the brother of my 3x Great Grandfather John.

Pete_Smee — 6 Mar 2008 2:49:50 GMT

I have "inherited" smome information from another researcher and she shows Marriages in Hodsock, from what I can tell there is not and was not a Church in the Village. I presume Marriages would have taken place been at Blyth or Carlton-in-Lindrick?

Could any one confirm if a Church or chapel existed at Hodsock 1720-80?

William Harris, b 1852 Old Bradford, Nottingham married Frances Christina Craghill

bcoug — 3 Mar 2008 5:24:40 GMT

Looking for more information on William who married in Liverpool, 1875 and appears to have been living in that area beginning with the 1871 census; worked as a groom or coachman. He was a widower in Toxteth Park in 1901 census and may have died there in 1906. Had at least these children: Joseph 1876, Frances 1880, Rosina Eliz 1882, Annie Krebs Harris 1884, Jessie 1886, Emma 1888. Seems daug Rosina married Albert E. Simon, no other spouses known yet. Can anyone identify his parents? confirm his children? Krebs was the maiden name of Frances Christina's mother.

MARTIN family of Mansfield, Notts.

StephenAndrews1963 — 23 Aug 2007 4:22:32 GMT

Have been away from the boards for a while, but decided to repost a request for information.

I am interested in the Martin and Lemon families who lived in Mansfield from the 1920's onwards.

My Great Grandfather George Lambert MARTIN practised as a dentist on the Bull farm Estate (1926 Shaftesbury Avenue, 1927 Ruskin Road) moving by 1940 to Chesterfield Road North. His wife was called Annie. He died in Forest Town in 1967.

My grandfather (the son of the above) was Randolph Lambert MARTIN, he was a lorry/coach driver who died in 1973 in Mansfield. He married Doris Gwendoline LEMON the daughter of Arthur Ernest LEMON, a grocer of King Street, Mansfield.
Randolph Lambert MARTIN prior to 1961 lived in Big Barn Lane and after 1961 in King Street.

My father Arthur Lambert MARTIN was born in 1930 in Mansfield. He married twice, the second time to my mother Pamela ARROWSMITH from New Houghton. He spent some of his military service in Detmold, Germany. He was also the licensee of the Rifleman public house in Sutton-in-Ashfield. He died in Mansfield in 1985.

Does anyone have a connection with this family? Does anyone remember them that could provide me with more information?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me, and my siblings, find out where we came from. George Hawksley is my great-grandfather. I just learned of him and would like to know more. He left England and came to the USA when he was 7. He had 2 brothers, William and Alfred and a sister Eliza.
I am not sure if they were born in England or the USA.
The obituary I have does not mention his parents and my grandfather- his son- died in 1974. My grandmother, his daughter-in-law, is in ill health and can not speak so I can not get any information from her.

Thank you for any help you can be.

David HEARNE found dead in River Trent in April 1948 buried nottingham

inthepast1960 — 15 Sep 2007 8:43:39 GMT

I am trying to establish the death details of my paternal grandfather David Hearne.
Through research I have established that a man named David hearne was found in the river trent on 16th april 1948, aged 57.
From what I can gather from my late father, his dad may have left the london area, where abouts for he did not know.
On the death certificate it stated that a post mortem and inquest were carried out.
Further enquiries led to finding out that he was buried in a public grave in northern cemetery in nottingham.
I have tried unsuccessfully to get information on the inquest/post mortem to establish what had happened, and also to try and establish if there was any suggestion that he was from the london area, ie something in the way of identity papers.
I cannot fathom out how they established his age without having nok come forward, they do not know his dob.
I have been to nottingham library and looked through some papers from the period but could find nothing mentioned.
So currently I am hitting a brick wall with my research, any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Selston parish records - PENDLETON look up?

julieafraser — 15 Dec 2007 11:17:06 GMT

If anyone has access to the Selston Parish Records, I would be very grateful if they could check a baptism entry for me.

According to the IGI, on 17 Sept 1820 Mary Anne Pendleton was baptised in Selston, the daughter of George Pendleton and Catharine. My research suggests that she should have been the daughter of George Pendleton and Jane (nee Wilkes).

If somebody could check the Selston records to confirm the mother's name, that would be very helpful.

Best wishes,
David Sharp
