I was wondering if someone could let me know if there are any early birth records I could research for Elston parish I see there are plenty of early marriage records.
-
According to GENUKI "The Anglican parish register dates from 1572 and is in good condition".
-
Thanking you for that information, vow girl
-
Elston baptisms are covered on the Notts FHS CD
Elston All Saints 1609 - 1901
Elston Chapel 1647 - 1878
If you want a look up just shout

Thankyou Sunflower I found a Thomas Higgins and Ann Comely in a marriage record for 1745 for the parish of Elston and was wondering if they had any children that may have been baptized there
-
There are no baptisms in Elston, the only ones in the time frame parents names and area are
Barnby in the Willows
5-1-1751 Anne
21-1-1753 Helen
There is however a marriage there
29-5-1750 Thomas Higgins & Anne Gilbert.
A Burial, 18-10-1753 Thomas Higgins.

6-2-1759 Thomas Higgins & Ann Jackson
Syerston
00-00-1753 Alice.
10-2-1751 Tho. HIGINS
24-11-1755 Elizabeth HIGINS
burial's
5-9-1758 Ann Higgins abode Flintham buried Syerston notes wife of Thomas.
00-1-1754 Alce dau of Thomas & Ann
29-11-1754 John son of Thomas & Ann

The marriage was at Elston, but Elton and Elston are two different places.

Thankyou both for this information I am wondering if you would be able to look into a birth I found on the Family search site it has a Thomas Higgens baptized 1750 Syerston doesn't name parents just though you may be able to see more information,
Thanking you

No baptisms in 1750 in Syerston that matcch; however the FHS CD lists these at Syerston All Saints, father's name Thomas and mother's name Ann:
1753 00 00 Alice Higgins ("Date unreadable" apparently although it gives the date as shown!)
1751 02 10 Tho. HIGINS
1755 11 24 Elizabeth HIGINS

Thankyou for information I have had a look on map and Syerston 0.9 miles from Elston so possibly they are the children of Thomas & Ann married Elston

Not you Annie, you were replying to a question, fair doo's, tread on my toes all you like :) the more the merrier.

Not sure if I have said something wrong here was only commenting on the fact I was given a marriage record on the same thread from Sunflower and systeron being close to Elston would possibly fit

Thanks again sorry if I have caused some confusion and I am wondering if you could look at another entry for me in tracing my Thomas Higgins (2nd fleet convict ancestor to Australia have never been able to find where he was from as there are no trials before 1860 for Derby where was tried and after years of researching came across and newspaper insertion for 1787 in the Mercury newspapers of the time where he states when he was arrested he comes he was in service in Red Hill and who is employer was etc have now tracked this down until this time had no idea he was even from Nottinghamshire )
Thomas Higgins baptised St Marys Nottingham 1750 was wondering if there would be more information on this birth
-
Hi Vowgirl,
Thomas Higgins christened at St Mary's Nottingham 5 Aug 1750 son of John & Eleanor Higgins was buried on 11 May 1751 son of John at St Mary's so not your Thomas.

I did not say you had done anything wrong.
I wondered if in fact you had read my post,#5, previous to the one you posted #7 above asking for info on the birth of Thomas Higgens in Syerston.
In it I had given you the births of children in Syerston, Thomas included. :-\

Larkspur,
Yes I had seen and read it and had already put all the information aside as there was so much in it for me to look into with the burials etc thought that the marriage I was given earlier in Elston and births given by you for Syerston could be connected as only a short distance apart sorry for the confusion just confirming that these 2 records were perhaps a good lead
