Find Ancestors

Hello Robin Thank you for your time, trouble and advice, I will persevere! Christel

hello robin just to say thankyou for taking the time to look for me teresa

Teresa There is no one called Roddis in Notts 1871 and I cannot find them in Notts 1881 either.

Christel I think you will have to find out exactly where the birth took place in order to do a proper search of the census. I am searching copies of the actual census by surname and there are far too many Claytons to check the whole County. I have checked 1851 and 1861 Nottingham (city) and cannot find Richard or a Benjamin. There are members on this site with Nottinghamshire, Baptisms which should help you.

hello robin just seen your message and wondered if you can find time to look for a charlotte RODDIS, B 1863. that one would be a long shot as im finding her very difficult to find. also could you look up a harry RODDIS married to eliza i found them on the 1881 but cant find them anywhere on the 1891 or 1901 but i know they were in nottingham. any other info would be much much appreciated many thanks teresa

Hi Jean No trace Sutton or Kirkby. The only thing I can find is the marriage at Sutton.

Hi Robin Thanks for your kind offer. Could you please look for RICHARD CLAYTON on the 1861/1871. Born 1855/56. His father was BENJAMIN CLAYTON. The 1881 Census says he was born in Middx, but the 1901 Census says Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. I'm confused!! Yours in anticipation Christel

I cannot yet find a marriage for Jane Upton to a Smith. except one in 1841. Can you please e mail me direct for four pages of Uptons. Have you got 1861?

Hi again Robin Im looking for a George Upton on 1841 and/or 1851 census. On his daughters marriage certificate in July 1841 it states his profession as a shop keeper. I believe he would of been born or then living in East Bridgford. Im praying that you will find just one George Upton and daughter Jane. If you dont come across a George with Jane can you please list all George's and i will eliminate them as i research further. Just out of curiousity...is there many Smiths in East Bridgeford in 1841/1851....Jane's husbands name. Many thanks again Vicky

Hi Robin Can i trouble you again? Im looking for Henry Fewks and wife Mary nee Sharpe. From info you gave earlier Mary was widowed by 1861 and she was 52yrs old, so can you look for the pair of them before 1861. They married in Shelford in 1826 if thats any help. Thanks again Vicky

Thank you so much Robin -brilliant help. I have emailed you. Jackie

Hi Lucy No joy I am afraid. I have checked Peach Street and there is a Betsy Brown 37 Yrs With her Mother in Law Ann, 69 at No 3 and there is an Ann 15 Yrs lodging at No 1. I have checked the whole of that Piece and there are plenty of Browns but not your family.

Hi Robin, Hope you m ay be able to help...I'm trying to find James Henry Brown born 22/09/1870 in Peach St Nottingham. Parents are Frederick Brown & Mary nee Harriman. Not @ Peach St in 1871 census but James Henry Brown was at Leicester workhouse in 1881 census. Any Ideas?

Robin?!! Wow! thanks for all info. I'll be busy for a while following up all these new leads but I'll certainly get back to you at some point re. the photos if it's not too much trouble. Thanks again, Emma.
