Find Ancestors

Hi Derek

(I sent you this post via PM sometime ago because I couldn't work out how to send attachments to this message board !! I finally did decipher Hannah's surname as KIDDY)

I wrote:

I came across a will yesterday on FindMyPast for a Samuel STREET (wife Hannah) of Belper Lane End - attached.

I think Samuel & Hannah may be the parents of my Henry STREET.

Samuel and Hannah had 7 children all born at Belper Lane End and christened at Duffield:
John c. 1740
Anne c. 1742
Samuel c. 1745
Ellen c. 1748
Thomas c. 1750
Henry c. 25 April 1753 ( ? my Henry STREET)
Hannah c. 1755

I found the marriage record for Samuel & Hannah but I cannot decipher Hannah's maiden surname - attached. Help please !!!

What do you think of my theory ? The time frame fits ?

My Henry STREET was living at Wignall when he married Sarah BENNETT in 1777. It seems that they had 2 children at Horsley (Samuel & Thomas) before moving to Cromford.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers for now
Chrissy :-D :-D

Hello Christine..thanks for your PM....I have replied to you there, and have explained that It is more beneficial for everybody to actually communicate in an open forum such as my Thread..I hope you find your way back..
Ok.ALPHEUS THACKER is an old mate of mine..in a manner of speaking!

He was baptised in Aston on Trent 23.06.1776..son of John Thacker and Mary..two different indexes attest to the mother as being Mary..but there is no certainty as to who she was....
I have a marriage of john Thacker to a MARY BURGIN 19.08.1771 at Wilne..which I offer as a possibility
Alpheus married MARY EGGLESTON 22.02.1803 at Aston on Trent......the 1841 Census has Alpheus and Mary..with their son Arthur as yet unmarried....and shows Mary as NOT born in County.
I therefore offer a likely source for MARY EGGLESTON baptised Keyworth Notts 22.05.1784...an Independent Non conformist...
Arthur THACKER born 1815 married SARAH HILL 20.09.1851 at Elvaston..where he and most of his siblings were born.
As I have told you..Elvaston/Wilne/Shardlow/Ambaston are all covered by a postage stamp..and Aston on Trent is a few miles away.
Ib case you don't have them, here are the children of Alpheus and mary:
Mary 27.04.1806 -- 25.07.1806
Mary Ann 14.03.1809 -1868 (died in Cumberland)
Elizabeth 11.03.1809 -- 09.04.1809
William 10.09.1811
Richard 22.01.1813 -- 07.11.1813
Arthur 22'04.1815 -1882
Eliza 23.12.1818 -- 09.12.1820. Baptised 05.01.1819

Not a very happy story!!

JOHN THACKER 21.06.1744 Aston on Trent son of John and Dorothy is an obvious candidate as the father of ALPHEUS.....but there are several others.

Any further help I can give..just shout.

Derek

Thanks Chrissie, and the same to you and yours x

derek

Happy New Year to you too Derek xx

Happy New Year, Derek xxxx

thanks Derek,Think you are right with James Poxon and Hannah Baxter,and ive now got James with his Daughter FannyMorgan (Poxon) in the 1901 census. :-)

Hello Jennifer..thank you for your PM..as i have said in my reply, you must try and stay with the Thread rather than using PM.
Your problem is that Diseworth is in Leicestershire, not Derbyshire....no problem to me because I now it well, and at least one of the diseworth POXONS i have researched before.
HANNAH born c 1834..married SAMUEL POXON at Diseworth 30.11.1853.
Samuel died n 1914........I suggest this is the correct marriage because, in accordance with your information, their daughter Ann was born Diseworth 1867..along wiith five other childrem
Harriet 1854../ Fanny 1858.../ John 1861.../ Thomas1868.../ Samson 1872.....the gaps indicate there may have been others.
have records for Diseworth...will get back to you with more details if you require them

Derek.

Hmm......I cnnot find a marriage in BMD for Samuel and Hannah...but I HAVE found an 1853 marriage for JAMES POXON at Shardlow to HANNAH BAXTER..which seems to fit with their children......although Hannah appears without a husband in 1871..they are all on the 1861 and 1881.....more later

And all best wishes to you Derek.
I'm sure i might find something for you to help with in 2017 !

I missed Christmas unfortunately, but I'd like to wish all my many buddies on here a very Happy New year for 2017
Derek .

Ho hum.......

Hi Derek thanks for letting me know.

I do have the additional info you provided but I'm sure there willl be something else I need help with.

Hello Chrissie...my Barlow Pr's don't actually go as far as 1903..but I have plenty of other stuff that is relevant..which you may or may not already have.
Ivy Kingston was born March 1903 and probably baptised in April....one of four children of Harry Kingston and Mary nee Key.
Harry Kingston of Sheffield married Mary Key 17.02.1890..Mary died in 1907 aged 37..and in 1911 IVY KINGSTON is living with her Maternal Grandparents....
WILLIAM KEY born 1843 died 1918..married BETSEY NEEDHAM in 1868..and had six children of which only three were alive in 1911.

nice to hear from you again..........keep it coming!!

Hi Derek,

Do you have the parish records of Barlow?

I am looking for the baptism of Ivy Kingston who was born on 18/3/1903 at Newgate Barlow, daughter of Harry and Mary.

Hope you are keeping well.

Chrissie.

Same here Derek, don't you dare leave us <3

Hear Hear - Thanks Derek for your helping hand :-)

I second what Brian has said.

I'd be more than happy to pay your subscription so that you'd stay. You have been an invaluable help to me in my research and hope that will continue.

I have no doubt that everyone you have helped is really appreciative.

WOW....thank you Brian............such comments as yours make all the hard work very much worthwhile..actually its not hard work..it's rewarding in itself to solve problems..but it's doubly good to be apppreciated....thanks again.....
Derek.

Derek just seen that you have had operation. I do hope you are well on the way to a full recovery, take care <3

Derek,
Just read your message:
Quote; Was just looking at the number of entries and replies on this Thread........seems a pity to lose that sort of record..............so sod it, i'm staying xxx

Need I say and I think I say for everyone you have helped and will help in the future, we are all gratefully relieved.
Sometimes it goes quiet as like I have been, you have sent us on a path and we need to dig further for ourselves or the path has lead us out of Derbyshire for a while. I still have a lot of information from Derbyshire I need but I am having trouble confirming which Bostock family is mine. Rest assured I will return to you for more information as soon as I am sure about my roots.
Your kind and generous help is much needed and sought after. I feel sure there are many of us would even pay for your subscription just to keep you here with us. You have become our friend and in many cases our saviour.
Stay for ever please!

God Bless You.
Brian

Hi Aaron..sorry its taken so long to get back to you, but have been digging very deeply into this..and I am convinced that it is MARGARET MAY WATSON you're looking for.for whom there is a full history.

Derek.
