Clare / Re: Loftus, Co.Clare
« on: Saturday 27 February 10 12:35 GMT (UK)  »
To Obbie,

Thank you for replying to my enquiry - this would seem to be the man I want but unfortunately I cannot contact "Ennis BMD." I entered just that with no result, then tried variations on Ennis, County Clare, Scarriff, Irish Archives to name but some.

Please - how do I contact Ennis BMD ?

Nottinghamshire / Brett
« on: Saturday 14 April 07 11:27 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone researching this name ?

I descend from Obadiah and Faith Boot nee Brett born 1806 in Edwinstowe.  The register gives her parents as Dennis and Elizabeth Brett but I believe from other evidence that in fact her mother's name was Dorothy nee Ward, married at Bilsthorpe and stated to be of Rufford.

In 1851 there several Brett's listed as having been born in Edwinstowe who do not appear in the registers ............

Dennis born c1777
John born c 1811
William born c1801 ......... married to Maria
William born c1801 ......... married to Ann

A William was baptized to David and Elizabeth in 1800, but only one.

Can anyone suggest where these baptisms may have taken place ?  IGI and Notts. RO are of no help.

To Lazarus.

I do not recall the name WYATT in connection with my Hadfield's but have not investigated all the side branches.  I think I established some years ago through other researcers that there is only a very small chance of the Glossop and north Derbyshire branches being related.  My tree is on GenesReunited if you belong.

May I get back to you  - I am going to be away for about eight weeks with no internet contact ?

There was a strong Hadfield/Hatfield presence in the Chesterfield area.  My line - most of them called Godfrey - go back to the late 1600's in that town.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: How often does GR run Hot Matches?
« on: Friday 30 March 07 18:18 BST (UK)  »
I wish GR Hot Matches really were what they say - usually they are anything but.

More oten than not, they just seem to match a Surname and totally ignore Forename, Date and Place.

For instance, in my tree I have Sophia, dau Joseph and Rebecca Brown nee Bratley, born LIN Burwell.  GR throws up Brown's of every date, name and place imaginable - page after page, in every county and country, not one in 100 is relevant.  Since I have never quite established a baptism or birth for Joseph c1788 I have to plough through them all to be sure I am not missing something.

Very time-consuming and frustrating when it turns out to be yet another waste of effort.

I am very new to this site and caan't believe that I immediately found a reference to Obadiah.  He was my 2 gr grandfather !

I sent a personal message to ian; his original message was a long time ago, I hope he s still around.
