Title: Parents of William Brightmore
Post by: Stacey.tree31 on Saturday 10 June 23 17:57 BST (UK)
Hoping someone can help.
I need to double check the parents of WILLIAM BRIGHTMORE born about 1828 in Baslow.
I have Michael Brightmore (which is correct via Williams marriage) and I have a Mary as his mother (going by census records and burial plot)
I think it was Mary Turner but I can't find a marriage for Michael Brightmore and a Mary.

I have 2 graves either side of each other.
Grave 1 has Mary with her children, Jonathan, Mary and Albert
Grave 2 has Michael with a son Michael died in infancy and a John born 1824 and died 1842.
The John I have found to be living with Michaels sister Ann (Peacock) in 1841. Unsure if Johns mother is also Mary or someone else.

Hope that made sense. Thank you

Looking at the 1841 Census it seems to me that is Parents are likely next door;

John Brightmore 75
Mary 70
John 35 Gun Smith

1851 we have;
Mary Brightman 60 Head Widow supported by son born Chesterfield ***** image is 80***
John Brightman   46 Son Unm Gunsmith born Baslow
Annie Peacock 57 Daughter Widow supported by Brother born Baslow

Their son John is also mentioned on Michaels gravestone which led me to believe that he was buried with Michael 🤔
Although in 1841 John is living with Michaels sister Ann in Sheffield.
Its extremely confusing lol
