Title: Greasley Parish Registers? Completed
Post by: davidrigg3 on Wednesday 17 March 10 14:55 GMT (UK)

If anyone has access to a searchable baptism register for Greasley could they please have a look for Em(m)anuel Stev(ph)enson born c.1846 - frustratingly I have found GRO index references for every other child in the family (apart from the first 2 who are born too early), but not Emmanuel who is my direct ancestor.

Edited: Sorry should have said parents = Edward & Hannah

Many thanks, B

Hi

Have you seen the 'BULK baptisms'  at Nuthall, Nottinghamshire on the IGI with parents Edward and Hannah on 20th March 1859 - it includes an Emanuel and a couple of others that match  (batch no C061121)

The vital records index has some Greasley baptisms but far too early for this family

 ???

 :o  Ooooh Rosie,

I think you've got them, Herbert is one I've not come across before, but perhaps he was born and died between 1851 and 1861 - will have to look further into that one. Plus Emmanuel's apparent first child was named Herbert.

Thank you so much, I was starting to get rather discouraged, but now I'm quite keen again.

Regards, Belinda  :-*

Hi Belinda

I did wonder about Herbert but thought it was worth a gamble  ;D There is a death for a Herbert Stevenson June qtr 1859 but also a couple of births immediately before in Basford RD ... and probably if I look some PH's as well.

Hi Rosie,

Yes I agree, the death in Q2 1859 looks probable, and either of the births in Q3 1852 or Q2 1853 fit comfortably between Louisa (Q1 1851) and Elizabeth (Q1 1855). Not that I shall be ordering up all the certificates, I try to restrict myself to direct ancestors, and now the price is going up even those will be spread further apart.

What a shame there isn't a note of the dates of birth for all the children baptised together - I might just put another look-up request on the board to see if anyone has access to the Nuthall registers, otherwise I might never know Emmanuel's actual date of birth!

Thanks again, B

Hi Belinda

Nuthall is covered on the Notts FHS CD, but only the baptism date is given no birth dates.  The father is listed as a Collier.

There are a few burials for Nuthall

Herbert Stevenson 29.6. 1859 aged 6

Edward Stevenson 9.12. 1890 aged 79
Hannah Stevenson 12.5. 1883 aged 71

 ;D Hi Carol,

Thanks very much for those dates, looks like Emmanuel is going on the back burner then. :-\

Cheers, Belinda
