Find Ancestors

Hi Wendy/Lorraine........its your old mate Derek.....I need a favour, on behalf someone I'm trying to help. Would be very grateful for any ideas:

MARIA SISON married HENRY ATKINSON at St. Leodigarius Old Basford Nottingham in 1877.

She was born 1858..apparently in Ilkeston..Henry apparently born 1858 Baford.

The marriage certificate gives Edwin Sison as father........as far as i can see, he doesn't exist..and i have various alternatives.

Mt correspondent is desperate to find her birth ( i have the BMD entry for 1858, which being a Civil registration gives Basford District,,,,which as you know included Ilkeston)

I have the full Ilkeston PR's...........no sign.....

Anything you can find on either of these two pre 1858..would be worth a very good grovelling thank you!!

Derek xx

hi wendy
thank you so much
all the best lorraine

Hi Sharon,

Sorry not much help.

Lorriane,

Just looked on my burial CD and Henry Selby 20 Aug 1884 aged 67yrs and Leah Selby 23 Jan 1889 aged 70yrs both in Lambley Church Yard , dont know if its the same grave and who else is in it I'll look in the Monumental books at the archives to see if they have a grave stone.
If you have many burials in Lambley it might be worth you look at
www.lambleychurchyardproject.co.uk
where you can buy a book on the monuments of Lambley.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you so much for all the info you've found for me. Now that you've seen the actual records for yourself I will change a couple of the marriage dates given from those on your disc
Marshall John Fells 14/8/1841 instead of 4/8/1841
William Fells 10/4/1852 instead of 19/4/1852

I will take you up on your offer of further look ups thank you, will get back to you.

Chris

Hi Sharon,

lorraine

Hi Lorraine,

Burial records for All Hollows only go up to 1901 at the archives and there is no way of knowing who else is in the grave, maybe if you got in touch with the church they may be able to tell you.
However in one of the Monumental inscriptions books at the archives I found the following:
Shrewsbury, Arthur born 11 April 1856 died 19 may 1903 for 28 years a member of the Notts County Cricket XI.

Hi Chris,

I've had a look at the marriage of Harriet Fells and George Jackson at Willow, it seems there was a mix up with the date as on their marriage it doesn't say the year but as you know there are always 2 marriages to a page in the parish books and the one above Harriet's marriage is dated 14 Jan 1847 then Harriet's and George's is dated 26 Oct (no year) and then the next marriage after is dated 2 March 1847. I was that busy looking at the dates and forgot to put down all the details Harriet's father is down as John and witness were James Lucas and Ann Heans?? (it was hard to read.
Christening's of Lucinda 9 July 1848 and Mary Elizabeth 8 Sept 1850 daughters of George & Harriet Jackson at Edwinstowe.
Marriage of John Fells and Lucy Wordsworth wittness were Leisy (again hard to read) Wordsworth and William Simpson.

Marriage 10 April 1852 Edwinstowe
William Fells Full Age Bac Sawyer of High Melton Yorkshire father John Fells Labourer
Mary Kirk Full age spinster, servant of Edwinstowe father George Kirk Sawyer. Witness's Henry Fells and Elizabeth Latham.

30 Jan 1845 Edwinstowe
Stephen Kelk Full Age Hawker of Normanton Father Stephen Kelk Labourer
Eliza Fells full age of Edwinstowe father John Fells Labourer
witness's George Page and Mary ???

5 April 1840 Edwinstowe
William Taylor Full Age Labourer of Elkesley father Thomas Taylor Labourer
Ann Fells minor of Edwinstowe father John Fells Labourer
witness's George Page and Harriet Fells

14 Aug 1841 Cotgrave
Marshall John Fells 26yrs a Groom of Kelham father John Fells
Mary r26 yrs of Cotgrave father John Armstrong
witness's William Walker and Thomas Brown.

Hope this all helps and let me know if you would like me to do some more on the Fells for you.

Wendy

hi wendy

thank you
lorraine

Hi Wendy,

Wow thank you that was quick. Thank you very much for the extra info you found for me regarding John and Lucy's children. When you are at the archives, would you mind looking at John and Lucys marriage record, not sure if it was too early for fathers names to be recorded but if it is, would be interested to know who the witnesses were.

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

Hi Wendy,

Could you please see if you can find a baptism for a Lucy/Lucinder Jackson born c1848 at Edwinstowe, Nottingham. Her parents were George and Harriet.

Also would you be able to confirm her mums baptism, Harriet Wells. A submitted entry on the IGI has her baptism as 31/8/1823 at Edwinstowe, parents being John Fells and Lucy Wordsworth.

Would you also be able to check the marriage for Harriet Wells and George Jackson which took place in the Southwell reg district in Dec q 1846, hopefully this would confirm the baptism I've found for George is correct and his fathers name was John.

Thank you

Chris

Hi Alan,

I've had a look for a christening for John Durdy at Clayworth or Everton but could not find anything on a Durdy family.

Sorry

Could you possible verify his D.O. B. and if possible who is ancestors were?

Many Thanks,
