Haram Park in Nottinghamshire, any ideas anyone?

[katherinem]

Hi,

I have a maternal ancestor on both the 1851 and 1861 census (living in Yorkshire) has a birthplace of Haram Park, Nottinghamshire. The writing is legible on both census.

I have tried looking up where this could be, to no avail, have also tried different spellings, but as I do not know Nottinghamshire that well, was wondering if anyone could shed any light.

Many thanks,
Kath

Hi- I just Googled it & there are refs to it being near Newark. Alt spelling - "Aram."

Regards

Many thanks Everlea for taking the time.  I am hoping that somebody with local knowledge can shed any light, as unless I am going absolutely totally bonkers, there are references to a trial of a Eugene Aram in the 1700's, where Aram Park is mentioned, but apart from that nothing :-(

You're welcome - yes, local knowledge is what you need, but felt a bit sorry for you as you'd had no replies & so thought I'd have a look. Sure you're not going bonkers - just haven't found the necessary info.

Aram, locally pronounced, but spelling Averham. My dad was born there.

Sheila,

Fantastic, thank you so much, have even found a possible baptism now.

Larkspur,

Thank you, no wonder I couldn't find it!

Kind regards,

There are quite a few baptisms at Averham with the family living in Averham Park.

Hi Larkspur,
The baptisms that have Averham Park on them, are these online?  Wondering now if I have found a possible, as the one I am looking at doesn't have Park on them.  I am looking on FamilySearch and A******y.
