Baptism, Marriage and Christening Look-Ups?
« on: Thursday 20 February 14 13:04 GMT (UK) »
I've looked long and hard through websites trying to find parish records for these ancestors but can't find anything. I was at Nottinghamshire Archives the other day and never got chance to look for these on Microfiche, does anyone have access to please take a look at these for me?

Marriage and Burial - William Thumbs born 1774 in Nottinghamshire
Marriage and Burial - John Thumbs born 1716, Radford Nottinghamshire
Baptism and Burial - William Thumbs born 1690, Nottinghamshire

Hi

Nothing showing on the Notts CD or the Phillimore marriages for those names.

I think you may have all the Thums which are on the Notts FHS CD from your earlier post.

There is a new CD coming out soon with more parishes covered, so there maybe something on there.

Derby- Bamford,Slater,Marriott,Lee,Fox,Hopkinson,Hawksley, Furniss, Froggatt, Stodd.
Notts - Breeding, Lacey Marriott ,Kershaw,Chambers,Geeson,Mitchell,Watts,Potts,Slack,Robinson, Cooper
Yorkshire - Potts, Bell, Derbyshire, Kershaw
Worcestershire - Dyson, Summers, Dearn, Jones
Warwickshire - Russon
Leicestershire - Stodd, Sarson, Berridge, Watts, Bradshaw.
Middlesex / Surrey - Markham, Pearce, Kalaher, Barrett

Did you try Thumbs or Thums?
Pre 1792, my surname was Thumbs. It changed when my GGGGGGrandfather was born.
Thanks

There's a burial on the Notts FHS Burial CD:

William Thumbs 11.11.1789 at Radford. Describes him as a framework knitter but unfortunately no age at death given.

John Thumbs burial at Shelford 30.12.1810 -  again no age given. Probably too old.

No baptisms or marriages found.

HELP!!!

 BATHSHEBA BOOTHROYD bn c. 1802 W. Yorks.

Baptism nowhere to be found. Possibly in a nonconformist church near ALMONDBURY or HUDDERSFIELD.

There are only 17 burials on the Cd for Thum(b)s.Of those, 8 are in Radford.
This one I thought interesting, even though it may have no link to you. Me , being an anorak, would file it away  ::)

Hi, I think it's a long shot but I found these marriages for a William Thumbs....

William Thumbs married Melicent Sneath at St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall Torkard on 19/01/1819

William Thumbs married Sarah Tomlinson at St Michaels Linnby on 26/10/1829

Hope they help,
Julie
