John Ledger d. 21 Dec 1779 - St Swithun's, East Retford, Nottinghamshire

[Ledge]

Hi guys,

I've hit a wall on my family tree and am looking to find any records I can on this person, in particular any records of his christening and parents of course.

The only records I have so far are the following:

Marriage -
St Michael the Archangel - West Retford - 25th Feb 1745
John LEDGER & Hannah BAILEY

Burials -
St Swithin, East Retford;
HANNAH Ledger, Wife of JOHN, 12 December 1777
JOHN Ledger, 21 December 1779

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated - I'm not getting any responses in the Nottinghamshire section as I think it's a bit quiet.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi

There are a couple of documents that mention John & Hannah Ledger on this site.

I'm not sure if the original document will hold any more information or the other people named on the document.

Have you seen a copy of the original marriage entry for any clues ?

Hi,

Thanks for this. I'll have a look when I get home.

A kind person on here found the marriage document for me and said this:
"The marriage information came from the Nottinghamshire Family History indexes, not all years and parishes have been transcribed yet."

I googled Nottinghamshire Family History indexes and could only find this website
http://www.nottsfhs.org.uk/

I can't find anywhere to search for a document on there though?!?

Hi

The Nottinghamshire family history society have produced a CD with Baptisms, marriages & burials.
It is only an index and there are no other details on the marriages apart from names, dates and parishes.
You can order a copy of the CD by going into their website, then into shop.  There is a new version coming out on 1st March.

There's nothing on the present disc. I have actually been to the university and viewed docs for my ancestor, one he had written 1833 and I could handle them, it was brilliant.

Just checked BMD's and East and West Retford only have records on the marriage disc

Thanks guys.

Am I right in assuming that if the old disc doesn't have anything the new one won't either?

Hi Ledge
