Thank you al very much but I wonder if anyone can gain information on My great great grandfather, the elusive Mr Etheridge. I believe that they did travel a lot as rumour has it that the Etheridge family were gypsies at some point , I believe something to do with birds but my elderly aunts maybe wrong

Thank you again
Carole

I was hoping that the record on FMP from Notts marriages might give names of Father's but unfortunately not.

OR - IF Wendy is due to go into the Notts Archives, she might be able to look up the details for you if you give her the details from the Notts marriages transcript I posted i.e. names, date, place of marriage. Have a look at her thread and provide a link to this one for her.

A tree on Ancestry has this for John - but you do need to confirm it all yourself, not all trees are 100% reliable !!

<<<<<Original has Laura Frances

Married 24 years , 6 children born alive 1 has died

Same tree shows Laura in 1861 as already posted here earlier, the marriage, and the 1901/1911 census. It has her death as March 1929, Birkenhead.

No details of her parents other than names as already posted.

John Henry Etheridge and Sarah (John Junior's parents) are shown to be in Lambeth 1881/1891. No details on his parents. Barbara's parents Richard Fairbanks 1806 - ? and Barbara Ann Willmore 1811 - ? They married 1831 St Mary, Lambeth.

But this is why you have to check yourself - Richard born 1806 is listed as son of Richard b 1798 and Barbara Fairbank b 1808 !!!!!!!!!!! Probably mixed 2 generations up here, too many Richard and Barbaras)
