Hi Derek, Do you by any chance have Repton death records for years 1833 until about 1845 ? I would love to find the record of Gilbert's wife Mary Ann Measham (nee Parker) between this dates. That would prove that he was married twice and also that Gilbert and Mary Ann were the parents of Thomas Horatio Frederick . Thats quite an impressive handle isn't it LOL.

Thanks.

Hi Gooner.....I'll look it up tomorrow for you
Derek

Thanks Derek, much appreciated.

EDIT>> Thomas Horatio is listed on the medical directory and Trade directory on Ancestry but be blowed if I can see him. Have you by any chance got those records. Many thanks.

(EDIT..just seen your message about another marriage in market bosworth??? so he was either married three times or we have two different Gilberts in repton....
Derek

Jonathan.i took your enquiry with me today but just didn't have time to do it justice..Bear with me.
Just letting you know I haven't ignored you.

Derek

Derek I think I am muddling my Gilberts lol. I will enter new info and get it sorted properly. Thank you so much for all that I really do appreciate it. I am probably realated to all the Meashams as they were by all counts prolific breeders.

Hi Arsenal.......open up your tree to me and i will probably be able to help you a lot.

Derek

Ok Derek, now got Thomas Horatios wifes maiden name. just off to look for his children. I will open it for you

Derek

Do you have access to Glossop records?

Don't worry, I don't have such knotty problems there as the Needhams of Tideswell!

Margaret

Hi Margaret..have to go to matlock for the Glossop records.......but hit me with what you need to know and i'll start my nest list with you.

Derek

Hi Derek, well, it is actually a burial I am looking for. James Stokes, died between 1848 and 1851, I assume in Glossop. I won't go through the whole sorry tale, I will leave it at that. His father was William Stokes, his widow was Elizabeth (Betty) and he would have been about 30 or younger when he died.

Being even more exciting, I might have a C of E priest in the family. One William Goddard, born about 1706 in Glossop. supposedly son of John Goddard, per the Glossop Parish Church Website (All Saints). He was educated at Oxford, and returned to Glossop as priest of Glossop Parish Church from 1728 to I am not sure what. I tried Crockfords Directory but their records do not go back that far, and they told me to try Matlock.

He supposedly married Elizabeth Grogat. My relative is their son Joseph born 1742, who married Sarah and they had a daughter Betty, born about 1765 who married John Ratcliffe. They in turn had a daughter Betty junior born 26 May 1804.

I am now seeing the value of what you do, i.e. visiting the records office almost weekly to look up one or two things. In contrast with my mega list of 100 relatives to find in half a day. Not possible eh?

I am aware that I am dominating your threat and there are lots of other people who need your help and who live miles away, so leave me till the end. I will get to Matlock again in a better and more organised frame of mind.

Thanks for everything

Margaret

Derek,

I would be so pleased if you could find a baptism for the following:

John (H) Pear or Pare or Wain. On 1881 census he is shown as born Alfreton c. 1870 and is living in Shirland.

(In 1908 he married under the name of John Wain, stated age 36, showing Jacob Wain as his father. I believe his mother is Sarah Pare or Pear.)


Thanks very much.

Elisabeth

I have been told to tell everybody that I am watching cricket from the West Indies, and not giving you all my best attention right now..I have been told off! mea culpa!

Derek

Wot, you are taking a day off?

Love and enjoy,

Just in passing..I struggle to help with most of South Derbyshire becasu8e not many records have been made available on disc ro Fiche....Its these sort of enquiries that need a trip to matlock Records Office........to which I go as often as i can..so please be patient.

Derek

Hi hope you can help me. Iam trying to find any info on of my nan and her family. She was born lilian taylor 5/09/1925 in derbyshire. My mum said she had quite a few siblings, but the only names i have are - christine,doris,george,and robert. I am sorry that is the only info i have at the moment . Hope you can help me. I have put quite a few meesages on here, but never hear from any one!

Regards Sadie

Hi Derek,
My 3x Gt grandfather is persistant on the census's back till 1861 that he was born in Derby, Derbyshire.
His name is John Randall/Randle b1835 and was a boatman, he married a girl in Dudley in 1856 and his father was Richard Randle on the marriage cert.
I would be very grateful if you get a chance to have a look and put my mind at rest, i have been searching on and off for him for years!
Many many thanks,
Jaine

Hi Sadie...I'm sorry that you have not been getting any replies..lack of courtesy I'm guessing......Unfortunately anyone born in 1925 will neither be on any Census nor on any published Parish Records.
The only real chance is with your local Birth.Marriages and Deaths registers. Commonly known as BMD's.
You can try FreeBMD which free online.

Sorry..good luck.

Derek
