Hello There,
I am a little bit confused as to where the above is referring to.
I have looked into my probable 6x Great Grandad Benjamin Ringrose.
He was born in Edenham in 1735.
He married Mary Clark in Heydour, on the 6th of June 1765.
Mary was buried in Heydour on the 28th of May 1779. A freereg transcription gives her abode as: "Of the Lodge."
Benjamin had a son, also called Benjamin Ringrose. He was baptised in Heydour on the 5th of July 1781. In later years, he lived in Southwell, Nottinghamshire.
The transcription of Benjamin Ringrose senior, gives his place of birth on Family Search as: "Hather Lodge, Lincolnshire.":
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGDY-R7QI do not know if this may be a transcription error, or if the original image gives Benjamin's place of birth as the same place that Family Search gives.
I know that Benjamin Ringrose senior was a Farmer. On Find My Past, there is a Transcript of Apprenticeship records, dated 1785. This gives Benjamin Ringrose's place as:
"Hathen, Lincolnshire."
It mentions Benjamin employing an Apprentice named Elizabeth Tebb:
Source: "Find My Past: The National Archives reference (IR 1 series) 32 f 108 Society of Genealogists number 161221"
Benjamin Ringrose senior was buried in Heydour, in January 1799.
Benjamin also had a Daughter called Ann (who I can't find a baptism for). She was born, according to Census records, in 1781/1782. She married Edward Marriott, in Nottinghamshire, I believe by Licence, sometime in around 1803. On the 1851 Census, her place of birth has also been transcribed as: "Hather, Lincolnshire.":
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SG6K-W99I have been told by somebody via "Ancestry", that the above Ann, was the Daughter of Benjamin Ringrose, of Heydour. It apparently states that this Ann was: "Daughter of Benjamin Ringrose, of Heydour ", on the Non Conformist baptism for Ann's Daughter Mary, at Nottingham. This Mary according to that register, was born on the 31st of Dec 1805, and baptised on the 1st of Jan 1806.
Because I don't subscribe to Ancestry, I am not able to view the original image on there. It would be interesting to know, if it does indeed mention "Benjamin Ringrose of Heydour."
The source for the above, I believe is:
"England and Wales, Non - Conformist and Non - Parochial Registers 1567 - 1970."
I don't know if "The Lodge, Heydour/ Hather" refers to a specific building, or the name of an actual place.
I also don't know if the transcriptions that state "Hather"/ "Hathen" are possibly both transcription errors for Heydour. I cannot seem to find any reference to a Lodge in Heydour, or reference to place names of Hathen/ Hather.
Any information relating to the above would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you very much.
