Hi Kate, Hope your offer still stands! Looking for a Thomas Read (born around 1808) married to a Mary(born around 1813) Would have had a few children, George Jane Charles Thomas John Andrew Edith. All born and living in Dorset. There may be 2 Thomas Reads both married to a Mary, could I have both if possible. Thanks alot, Iris.

Cheers Kate A ha, found your May message anyway and have images for Button and May. I think the image for May says Hostler which may tie in with what you said. Need email addie though, please :)

Hi Jenny In Broughton I found just two families (well one family and one single man actually). Not William or Rebecca but I’ve saved them just in case you want them for later ref. The image references are 0629_0086 CLARK AND 0629_71 CLARK CLARK JAMES M 20 LINCOLNSHIRE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK ANN F 25 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK GEO M 1 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK HOWLGAH M 9 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK JAMES M 5 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK JANN F 3 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK JOHN M 25 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE CLARK WILLIAM M 8 LINCOLNSHIRE WRIGGLE HOUSE BROUGHTON LINCOLNSHIRE (ps: Wouldn’t you just love to live in Wriggle House LOL) I then did a general search in Lincolnshire and found two Rebeccas of about the right age: CLARK REBECA F 80 LINCOLNSHIRE BRIDGE ST CASTLETHORPE LINCOLNSHIRE Ref: 0629_97 CLARK – Rebecca is living with a Charles Clark who is 35. CLARK REBECCA F 80 LINCOLNSHIRE CAISTOR CAISTOR LINCOLNSHIRE Rebecca is living with Charles aged 30 a tailor. There is also another Clarke family on the same page. The head of this family is Robert aged 40 at cordwainer. With him are Ann 40, Edward 8, Mary 6, Frances 4, Thomas 3. Ref: 0630_63 CLARK Finally I did a general Lincolnshire search for Williams in the right age bracket: CLARK WILLIAM M 80 LINCOLNSHIRE GREAT GONERBY GRANTHAM GREAT GONERBY LINCOLNSHIRE Ref: 0618_202 CLARK – William appears to be living alone of independent means. CLARKE WILLIAM M 80 LINCOLNSHIRE TOYNTON ALL SAINTS TOYNTON ALL SAINTS LINCOLNSHIRE Ref: 0647_56 – Poor old William is alone and listed as Ag Lab at age of 80! I realise these are long shots but you never know….. Good Luck Kate PS: If you do want any/all images just PM me with your email addie and the ref numbers of the relevant images.

Hi Jim Thanks for the extra info. I don't mind doing a bit more digging at all but as with Janice I'll do it in the background whilst doing other stuff, so it might take a little while. I will let you know though, one way or the other. Cheers Kate :)

Hello again Janice Thanks for getting back to me. Yours will take a little time, so I'm working on it in the background. I'll let you know when I'm done. TTFN Kate:)

Hello Kate Many thanks for your kind offer. I know it's a long shot but I wondered if you can find a William Clark or his wife Rebecca Clark. She was born in Wootton around 1759 and he was born about the same time so they would have been in their 80s probably. I know when they married but not their ages then. He was born in either Broughton or Wrawby nr Brigg, Lincolnshire. This is an enormous brick wall but they might have still been alive then. Many thanks Jenny

Hello Kate,Eliza's father was Thomas Thompson and her mother Ann. She appears to have had at least three sisters - Elizabeth, Charlotte and Sarah. The villages around are Tupholme, Southrey, Horsington, Gautby, Stainfield, Stixwood and Potterhanworth. Of course I'm working out of a fairly modern atlas so the villages might not have existed in 1841. Thanks once again for your efforts, Janice.

Hi Kate 1841 Nottingham look up please Gedling area Thomas Shelton b 1808 Gedling Don't have anymore info on him as i've just found out he was married before, so am trying to find him with his 1st wife Thanks Bev

Thanks again Kate, I have two other surnames Samuel Stout b. c 1777 Mary Stout b.1775 (Nee' Chamberlain) Bestwood Park Bullwell (and family) and also wondered if there any Hepworths also in Bulwell please but don't worry about them if it's too nebulous!! Regards Jane

Hi Janice Don't mind at all :) Only one result came up for Thompson in Bucknall. THOMPSON NAOMI F 20 LINCOLNSHIRE BUCKNALL BUCKNALL LINCOLNSHIRE Naomi is listed as a dressmaker. The image ref is 0629_0118 THOMPSON. Please quote this in a PM with your email addie if you would like it. A general search of Lincolnshire brought up 1826 records LOL Do you know the names of any surronding parishes I could check to narrow it down or the names of any of her family members. Will happily check again for you if so. Cheers Kate :

Hello Georgina No Ridds came up in Little Ponton or Grantham I’m afraid. A general search of Lincolnshire brought up just one result: RIDDY THOMAS M 35 LINCOLNSHIRE EAST STREET NEW SLEAFORD LINCOLNSHIRE He was a basket maker Had a bit more luck with Unwin. Do you think this might be him with him family? These are the only Unwins I could find in Purleigh. Thomas Snr is listed as Ag Lab.

Cheers Kate:

Hi Kate, I hope you don't mind but could you look for a Thompson family in Bucknall Lincs. I think I've tracked Eliza's birth to this village and I'm hoping her family will be still there. Thanks, Janice.

Jim Do you know the names of any of the Widgery children? There are lots (apx 100) in Devon and Wm and Ann are 'Out of County' in the Glos census. Kate :)
