I have a marriage for John Slack and Sarah Smalley in Dec qtr 1852 registered at Mansfield, Wondered if anyone had access to marriage records that would give me any more information about them, eg ages, where born and possibly parents names as I haven't anything else to go on only that they are the parents of Mary Ann Slack born 1855 Blidworth. I have census info etc for Mary Ann when she married John Frogg but am trying to find information about her parents etc. Thank-you. Teresa.

Hi all.
Blidworth is in Notts quite close to Skegby and Nr Mansfield.
That looks like them in the 1861 so I will try and find further back now.
Thanks very much :-)

Hi.
Having been given 1841 census for John age 65 and Mary Slack age 45 and the 1841 census for Joseph Smalley age 30 and Ann age 30, I have looked through the IGI for a clue for their births but there are too many in Notts as I don't know where they came from . Could some-one look them up in a later census to see where they were born please.
Regards Teresa

Thanks Jan for the census. Spellings on some of these census are terrible aren't they, its a wonder people manage to conect with them at all!!
Never heard of thge name Shady before !!

brummiejan

brummiejan Report 10 May 2012 16:27

If you get Shady's birth cert it will show Ann's maiden name.
Loving these names, sound like something from Dickens!

Jonesey Report 10 May 2012 16:30

Teresa,

Nothing obvious showing for John and Mary Slack in the 1851 census. One thing to bear in mind is that in the 1841 census ages of people over 15 were rounded down to the next 5 or 0 below so the both could have been up to 4 years older than the census indicates.

There are numbers of John and Mary Slack deaths in Nottinghamshire 1841~1851 but as no ages were recorded in the index at that time it is not possible to say whether the John and Mary you are after was amongst them.

Teresa

Teresa Report 10 May 2012 16:52

Thank-you Jonesey,
I did think that John might have already passed away but was hopeful for Mary still being alive with some of the children still at home.
Can't win them all though.
Many thanks Teresa
