Title: Blood family Derbyshire
Post by: RAY BLOOD on Wednesday 14 August 13 11:25 BST (UK)
I have a copy of the National Burial Index but am particularly looking for burials in or around the Belper Area for the surname Blood between 1816 and 1840, I have just five, there must be more, can you help?

You probably already have the following -

Freebmd Sept 1837 - Dec 1840

Catharine Blood Vol 19 Page 233 Dec 1838
Millecent Blood Vol 19 Page 367 Mar 1840

IGI

William Blood Burial 8th May 1831
George Blood Burial 10th March 1836
Harriet Blood Burial 10th March 1836

Guess that's probably the five.

There are 2 in Duffield St Alkmund
Hannah 21 Jun 1816 aged 18
Jno 20 Apr 1815 aged 3

Confusing post title  ;D I thought it was to do with tracing blood [ie genetic] relatives! But I'm easily confused.

Just to recap ... I'm confused again  ???

You said you had 5 burials; are they the 5 noted by stevew101 or do they include the 2 from shirl100 & sunflower so 2 of steve's are new?

Hi,

Any burial In Belper prior to 1824/5. when St. Peter's Church was built, would have taken place
in St. Johns.  Most burials of Belper folk took place at the Parish Church in Duffield.
Belper Cemetery, Matlock Road opened about 1861.

There is a small area of land in Belper know as Bloods Bank.  This is situated at the corner of
Lander Lane and High Street.

Are you looking for anyone in particular, or just collecting anyone of the name Blood?

I just found out the names of my great, great, great parents.  James and Catharine Blood from Bagnor Staffordshire. Their daughter Elizabeth Blood, my great,great grandmother died in 1899, she may have been buried in Elvaston church, for that is where many members of my family resided. I'd love to know more about this family if you have any information.  Thanks.

A warm welcome from me too  :)

I'd love to know more about this family if you have any information.
Just to say that as a new member you may not know that rootschat is a forum where members post queries and other members use their own time to research all the resources they know of or point the original poster in the right direction to find out any potential answer to that query themselves. A gentle & polite reminder to anyone that it isn't a repository of information in itself or even like a certain search engine  ;D ;D, we are real people  ;)

However you may find a member has already researched this family & can provide you with leads which should be checked by yourself. You may even find a relative!!!

Thank you for the warm welcome Sunflower.  And thank you for setting me straight about the rules of the forum. I really didn't mean to scrounge the information that others have researched. On the other hand would be more than happy to share what I know.

Hello and welcome.

We on this site try to assist people with their research.

So it is best to actually state what info you are looking for, giving as much info as you have on
Your family.

Have taken a look and Elizabeth Blood is consistent in giving her birth as 1829 Hilton, and is quite easy to find on all the Census from  1841, she married William Chambers, a Sadler iat Elvaston the place of his birth in 1835.  I assume you have all this info.

Is there anything else you need to find?  Do please ask someone may be able to assist.

For instance if you use Ancestry the actual entry of their marriage in Elvaston is available to copy.
