Find Ancestors

I have a Louisa Player (1858-1931) married to Jerome Moon. I have them all census's but what I need help with is trying to find a connection between her and Players Cigarettes. My mother in law is adamant there is a connection! I know her parents are Samuel Player (1833-1901) and Sarah Creamer (born 1837). Am doing this for my husbands great aunt for xmas so any information would be fantatsic. Thank you!

John Player founded his tobacco company in the mid-19th century in Nottingham. It was later expanded into a thriving cigarette manufactory (based at the Castle Tobacco Factories in Radford, Nottingham - just west of the city centre) and run by his sons, John Dane Player and William Goodacre Player.

Thank you! Yes I've googled it and come up with this information before. I just can't find a link between them and us! But the family are adamant the are related and will not believe me! Thank you so far1

Dee I believe from lookiing at the Samuel you highlighted he died young and at sea?

wonder why you began another thread on this family - GR do not allow more than one posting on the same person/family

Sorry I am new to genes, thought because it was me going further back than what I discovered in this post that was ok??? So am I only able to do one post at at time? Because obviously posts get old and down the list so no-one can see?

When I say new I mean new to posting as have only just updated my account :(

Victoria - Just post a reply on your older thread and that will bring it back to the front page - if you have seen threads with a reply that ony has "nudge" or "n" on it then that reply has been added to bring it back to the front page.

Thank you will do it that way from now on, someone did a nudge or me yesterday, didnt really understand then but do now. Thanks so much, sorry for confusion.
