Help with marriage & baptisms in Glossop area
« on: Monday 15 June 09 07:40 UTC (UK) »

I have Benjamin Thorp (c.1805) and Elizabeth Alsop (c.1810) m. 13 Nov 1827 in Glossop, Derbyshire (taken from IGI)..... but no more information? Huh Which church? Their father's? etc

On the 41 - 61 censuses they are living in Glossop and both appear to have been born in New Mills area.

Can anyone find their marriage? Or possibly a baptism for them? I seem to have come to a brick wall.

This is them in 1841:

Class: HO107; Piece 185; Folio: 45; Page: 9

In 1851:

Class: HO107; Piece: 2152; Folio: 11; Page: 14;

In 1861:

Class: RG9; Piece: 2549; Folio: 61; Page: 24

In 1871 (no Benjamin):

Class: RG10; Piece: 3640; Folio: 23; Page: 37;

Many Thanks

If you click on the reference for the IGI entry at FamilySearch (film number 0498084) it says the information was taken from the Bishop's transcripts for Glossop, 1664-1845  Church of England. Parish Church of Glossop (Derbyshire). That is what I would expect - the church is All Saints, Glossop.

I see that FamilySearch also comes up with an entry in the Pedigree Resource File for the marriage (which includes extra information for Benjamin) but gives ASHTON as Elizabeth's surname.

You could arrange to see the film at your nearest LDS Family History Centre but, from my experience of other entries in the Glossop registers around that time, you will probably not be able to glean family details. However, viewing the film should confirm Elizabeth's surname.

Many thanks for your help, Graham.
I'd never considered going to look at the LDS centre.
Will all the LDS centres have copies?

Thanks

If your local centre doesn't have a copy of the film it will be able to order one in from SLC. It's a few years since I ordered any but it didn't take long to arrive and it only cost a few pounds.

After our own site that's the first I look at where Glossop is concerned - it's run by a distant cousin  Smiley . No baptisms for the people mentioned unfortunately.

The Glossop PR information is in the process of being loaded but is an ongoing project so it will be some time before it is complete. Important to remember that the project only covers the Glossop (All Saints) PRs at the moment so there are only selected entries for chapels within the parish like Mellor & Hayfield.

Having said that, the web site is a fantastic resource for the area.

Thank you both for all your help!
I've managed to find a baptism entry for one of their children, Caroline Thorp on the BMD registers site. I had to pay for credits but it was well worth it, as it confirmed what you'd found, Graham! Smiley

It reads:

Caroline, the daughter of Benjamin Thorp of New Mills in the Parish of Glossop in the County of Derby and of Elizabeth, his wife, who was the daughter of William and Ann Ashton was born on the twenty ninth day of June in the year of the Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty four .. And was solemnly baptised with water, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, on the fourteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty four.

So Elizabeth was an 'Ashton' after all! Saves a trip to LDS!

Thanks again for all your help.

Glad you got a result  Smiley

That probably means that the information re Benjamin in the Pedigree Resource File entry could be accurate so probably worth following that route to confirm.

Hi,

The clew to Elizabeth Thorpe being nee Ashton, comes in the entry you have for 1851 Census
In 1851:

Class: HO107; Piece: 2152; Folio: 11; Page: 14;

Living with Benjamin Thorpe is a Caroline  27  Unmarried, Sister in Law the enumerator has dittoed the Thorpe Name.
However if she is the Sister in Law to Benjamin, her name cannot be Thorpe.  Under neath the entry for
Caroline  is Ann Ashton 6, dau of Sister in Law.

Elizabeth Ashton Bpt 9.6.1809 New Mills, dau of William & Ann Ashton.
Caroline Bpt 26.10.1823 Mellor, Derbyshire there are other siblings Bpt at Mellor children of William & Ann.

I went to long way round to find this info, which will teach me to read ALL the posts before searching.
Good Luck with the rest of your search.

Hi Spendlove,

Thank you for the information. Have you got the names and dates of Caroline and Elizabeth's siblings? Have you got records for Mellor?
Many Thanks

Hi,

If you go on to Family Search = IGI:-

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

Enter under Father -  William Ashton
Enter under Mother - Anne (do not enter a surname here)

Enter under LAST NAME  - Ashton

Enter under Batch Number -  C055601

Region - British Isles

This will produce the children Bpt in Mellor.

Follow same instructions to find Bpt of Elizabeth  but use Batch number - C066751.  Re Elizabeth
you could also just search using her full name, 1809, Derbyshire and you will get same result.

Regards
Spendlove.

Gosh, thanks Spendlove!

I really must learn how to use these websites properly!
How do you know which batch no. to use?
I wonder why Elizabeth was baptised at a different place to the others?

Hi,
As an example just do a search for Elizabeth Ashton, Born 1809, England Derbyshire.

You will then get a number of results, click on the New Mills entry.
You then get an individual results page, down the bottom left is the Batch Number which starts with:-

C =  Baptism
J = Male Bpt
K = Female Bpt
M = Marriage.

If the batch number shown does not commence with one of the above letters, then you know the item
is Patron Submitted, which means you need to investigate further for proof of the entry.

Thats great.. just found some more of my Thorpe family.

Just one question.... if one of the children's parents are listed as say:

Jas. Smith and Mary

if I do a search and get a few parents say: Joseph Smith and Mary; Jas. Smith and Mary or James Smith and Mary...... in the results... my family will only be the children of Jas Smith?Huh

Hope this is correct?

Thanks again for this really useful information. Wink

Hi,

Jas is abbreviation for James, you cannot discount either Jas. or James with a wife Mary.  If after
1841 you can confirm if there were two families or just one (Jas. or James with wife Mary) via Census,
If prior to this it is more difficult, but is possible in most cases.

Joseph you can discount for obvious reasons.

You have to remember that the Vicar or Church Official changed, one may have preferred to use Jas.
whilst the other chose James when making the entries in the Church Registers.  Look at the dates of birth
as a very general rule 1st child is born within two years of marriage, and the rest at 2 yearly intervals.
This is only a guide NOT WRITTEN IN STONE.

Only thing is NEVER ASSUME and always take trouble to find further proof, that applies to genealogy in general.
There are many people who have themselves attached  to completely the wrong family.

It is not possible to do all your research on the Internet, the IGI does not have transcripts of all Parish Registers,
those they have may not include all the information actually contained in the Register.

The County Record Office hold the original registers, with a host of other records not available on the internet.
If you take a look at this site, you can see some information held at Derbyshire Record Office.
