Hey Tox........Google "Samuel Godley Waterloo Warrior"....its all there!! Samuel Godley son of Samuel....................job done!
(Forget any samuel being christened at the age of 10!)

Derek

Sorry Tox..yes..they are all Godleys..

Derek

Hi Derek, thanks for your help, on your answer there are names GODFREY and GODLEY should they all read Godley please.
I am at the moment helping my friend with Godleys in Whitwell, we have recently read about Waterloo Man in a family tree magazine and we are trying to figure out if our Samuel Godley is indeed the same Samuel Godley Waterloo Man born 1778,
I have a babtism of Samuel Godley 1788 and wondered if this Samuel was babtised when he was 10.
I will read your answer carefully and hope it comes up with the answer we are hopnig for.
Thank you again and we hope to some day visit Whitwell cemetery.
Regards
Tox

Hi again Chris.......I don't have the Kirk langley parish records...but i am a frequent visitor to the Records Office at matlock..so I'll check it out next time I go.
However the census records for 1871 1861.1851 show him born Mickleover c 1811..in 1871 he is a Nightwatchman....

I have records for Radbourne and for Mackworth, both places are nearer to Mickleover than Kirk Langley..so I'll have a look in those..otherwise its matlock records office!!

Derek

Hi Tox..........I don't know how much you already know; hopefully the following will be of some use to you:

Samuel Godfrey (1747-1812) married Ann Pacey(1754-1834) at Whitwell 08.01.1776

Their son SAMUEL GODFREY was baptised at Whitwell 20.07.1778

Both Stephen (30.06.1812) and his wife Ann (20.02.1834) are buried at Whitwell.

ANN PACEY(b1754) was the daughter of GEORGE PACEY(1720) and ANN PARKER(1716)

Samuel Godfrey(1747-1812) was one of six chilodren of:
STEPHEN GODLEY(1720-1808) who married MARTHA PATTINSON (1724 of Barlborough) at Barlborough 15.04.1745

Stephen was the son of ROBERT GODLEY(1691) and MARGARET BOURNE(1696) both of Barlborough.

There are loads of Godley Burials at Whitwell.....and i have all the Census details up to 1901 if you need any later information

All the best.

Derek

Hi Derek,

Thank you for your reply, I was really hoping he would be there, thanks again for looking.

Chris

Hi Derek, Thank you for your offer of help, I think I have posted this right.

I have a family in Whitwell Derbyshire, in particular Samuel Godley born 1778 with parents Samuel and Ann Godley, I was wondering if you could help find his babtism please, it would help me very much.

Thank you
Tox

Chris.....no John Dakin yet..too many of them!! but I have possible parents.....JOSEPH DAKIN married ELIZABETH MANSFIELD Kirk Langley 23.04.1792

Derek

Hi Derek,

I'm hoping you can find the baptism for John Dakin who I believe was born in Kirk Langley. Unfortunately I'm not sure of the year except it's between 1809-1813 depending on which record I look at. I know he married Elizabeth Potts on 17/9/1832 at Breedon on the Hill. He lived and died in Mickleover, Derby, his burial at the parish church on 6/10/1877.

Thanks for all the help you give on here

Chris

Thanks for that Derek, I will leave it at that then if you think that is OK. I will now go investigate another twig.

Once again, thanks heaps, I owe you one, love, Nina

Annina.Hi Nina.........I think you're pushing it a bit becasue there is no marruage for Francis and Jane..I have the two baptisma you mention Thomas 30.10.1674..and William 16.04.1676..parents Francis and Jane.

But I also have .Joseph..and Mary..baptised 29.04 1683..along with James 02.11.1690 and Robert 09.04.1693..........children of Francis and Jane....

So ..the options are these.....Francis re-married someone in another Parish very soon after his wif'e's burial (heartless bugger!)..and had two further children..or if he was so very virile .had four further children right up to 1693............he died in 1702........
or we have a totally different Francis................My own opinion is that you settle with what you've got and ignore the later children.......

Derek

Nina.I'm looking!! (After the Cricket!!)

Derek

Hi Derek Nina here, I forgot to say that I got my records at

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DBY/Eyam/RecordsBI.html..

Me again, Peter Blackwell and Ann Lomas were my gt gt grandparents and had at least six children, the youngest , Hannah, another one, was my gt Grandmother married to Walter Timm. Peter and wife moved to Sheffield for him to work in the coal mines.

Annina......I have sent you a PM....and asked for access to your tree....all you have to do is click on ALLOW above the message......
I have added some info to that last message i wrote.....don't knoiw if you';ve got it.

Derek

Thank you Dereck you are a whole sky full of stars.The pre 1837 records I found by googling Eyam Parish records and there they were,all free,I havn't been doing research for very long, only since feb this year, I tend to take note of other peoples records but buy certs for confirmation. All my life I have felt rootless as we lived apart from the rest of the family so this is wonderful. As for Plague survivers, well, we are a humungous family,If I knew how to do it, I would let you into my tree, if your roots are in Bakewell, we may even be related!!! Luv for now, Nina

Looking again.I am pretty sure that Samuel who married Hannah Bagshaw 1748 is the father of your Samuel who married Hannah Bagshaw 06.01.1796.......

You're a worthy competitor!! you must have some good records.....now going to check Eyam Burials!!

ADDITION..Peter Blackwell married Ann Lomas 30.08.1858..no children at Eyam
James blackwell married Hannah bennison 08.04.1833

James and Hannha had the folllowing children:

Ann 18.01.1835
Bessy 28.05.1837
Samuel 26.05.1839
James 29.07.1841

Derek

Hi Nina..yes it makes sense becasue i have all those records...as long as you can find positive links fron generstion to generation..........
Curious how often we get a Blackwell/Bagshaw`connection.

I am often cynical about how quickly some people all too eailsy jump to conclusions in order to "prove" their case........but in your case i think you have every right to be enthusiastic....this game is all about analysing co-incidences that keep croppoing up..and the blackwell Bagshaw link id one of them....and I think in this case they prove he point.

I live in Nottingham but my five generation back family are all Bakewell area...thus is have gathered loads of stuff that not only prove my heritage, but which latterly allow me to bev sure about the stuff i help others with.

Eyam is a case in point and i have a lot of stuff about the Plague.indeed i have all the people who died in the plague but those who survived....

Let me look at the records and I'll try to get you back as far as possible..

Like for instance:
Bridget blacklow married Abraham Bagshaw 27.10.1698

Francis Blackwell married Ellen Bagshaw 06.06.1667(Blackwall)

Francis blackwell married Mary Townsend 22.09.1734

more later

Derek

Nina again just noticed exactly what you wrote, my Samuel and Hannah are the second option,did you notice only 2 kids survived childhood?
I didn't notice the first couple, that is why I need another set of eyes.And someone who actually knows what they are doing.
