Derbyshire / Edmund Marsden marriage to Mary circa 1685 Derbyshire.

« on: Monday 25 April 22 16:09 BST (UK) »

Can anyone help or advise me on how I can find the marriage of the couple in question. The couple were living in the Baslow area in Derbyshire but I cannot find their marriage in any local parishes - I am thinking that perhaps it may be Edensor or some other small parish that records have not been published. Look forward to a reply. Many thanks.

Hertfordshire Lookup Requests / Baptism of William Biggs in 1791 at Weston, Hertfordshire

« on: Friday 29 March 19 10:30 GMT (UK) »

Hi, I am trying to link two families for a relative. The person I am looking for is William Biggs (Could be Bigg) who was born in 1791. He states on the 1851 census that he was born at Weston, Herts but was living at Sandon, Herts which is a few miles away. I need to know who his parents are to try and make a connection. Hope that someone can help. Many thanks. wisteria16

Derbyshire / Baptism of Samuel Clarke

« on: Tuesday 06 March 18 12:07 GMT (UK) »

Hi,
Can anyone help me trace the baptism of Samuel Clarke? On the 1851 census he is living on Victoria Street, Ironville, Derbyshire aged 37 (place of birth is just marked as Derbyshire) states year of birth as 1814. He had died before the 1861 census so can't pick up any more information from that. I have little knowledge of the area surrounding Ironville and my thoughts are that he may have been baptised in another village. I will be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

Hi,
Could anyone visiting Wigston Magna Records Office kindly do a search in the Bishops Transcripts for me? The person that I am looking for is John Hurst Christened on 2nd Feb. 1777 at Wigston Magna but the parents are missing on the Parish register - hope that the Bishops Transcripts may give the missing info. Many thanks to anyone that can help.

Leicestershire / The parish church at Langtons, Leics.

« on: Friday 12 May 17 16:38 BST (UK) »

Hi,
Can anyone help by letting me know where this church is? - I had an ancestor christened there
in 1710 but I cannot find this parish on the map. Suppose that this may have been absorbed when local villages spread and is now known by a different name. Locating this parish would be a great help.
Many thanks.

The Lighter Side / Nicknames

« on: Tuesday 29 December 15 09:00 GMT (UK) »

Happy New Year everyone,
I have long wondered why people who are named Charles are nicknamed 'Wag'. I have several relatives that this relates to - is it a regional thing or is it nationwide? I would love to hear from anyone who can enlighten me. Many thanks.
