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.

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?

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

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.

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!
