My ancestor was Thomas Duck, born 1810, baptised 8 April 1810 at St. Peters Church, Radford, Nottingham. He fathered a son, Hiram James Duck, to Mary Ann Chambers. They never married. Thomas married Elizabeth Litchfield, 11 June 1832 at Radford and eventually came to Australia.
I have often wondered what happened to Hiram. Has anyone any ideas please?

Hello,
I found a possible baptism on Notts Index, probably mistranscribed -
JARSEM James Chambers bapt 07/12/1830 St Peter, Nottingham,
son of Mary Ann Chambers (lace mender), abode Paradise St .
From Notts Burial Index -
Hiram James Chambers buried 26/12/1830 St Peter, Nottingham,
aged 10 months, abode Poplar Place.
How sad.
Regards
Audrey.

Dear Audrey,
Thank you very much for your help with the mystery of Hiram James Chambers.
Years ago a friend found on a card index for Nothingham Quarter Sessions Removal Orders, although it should have been in the index for Maintenance Orders, (at Notts County Record Office),
"Mary Ann Chambers singlewoman, 2 February 1830 born in St Peter a male child named Hiram James;
30 March 1830 Maintenance Order, Father Thomas Duck, Radford, lacemaker CA 3265/346-7".
I should point out that this information was given to me in a letter in 1992. Now I know what happened to Hiram.
Again thank you.
