Nottinghamshire / George Perfect b 1841 newark

« on: Tuesday 25 May 10 20:11 BST (UK) »

I'm researching George Perfect b. 1841 in Newark, he married an Eliza Jane Stephenson b 1847 in Hogsthorpe Lincs. George married again to Ann Elizabeth Stephenson, Eliza's sister we think.

Can't find any trace of a marriage, they were living in Newark Nottinghamshire on 1901 census so any help with this date would be great.

Also his occupation is down on the 1901 census as Auctioner, surveyor and Builder, I would be interested in any information on this as he is down as an employer so must have registered a company???

Thanks.

Midlothian / Thomas Finlayson b 1888

« on: Sunday 02 May 10 21:34 BST (UK) »

I'm trying to trace Thomas Finlayson born 13 jun 1888 in Midlothian, his parents were Dixon Finlayson and Christina Gilchrist. According to some information received Thomas was a Footballer for Hearts of Midlothian (hearts) before he died on either 1909, 1912 or 1913, not sure which date is correct.

Any information on him as a footballer or his death would be very helpful.

I think he married but again he died young so not sure.

Thanks

Hi Spendlove

Abraham Pressley or Presley was born in 1785 in Anston, Yorkshire, he married Hephzebah.

It is Whaley nr Mansfield, The 1851 census foe bolsover 3a image 4 or 107/2148 states Publican.

the 1861 also states publican Bolsover again 3 image 3 or R.G.9/2533.

On the 1871 census he is a widow and his grandson is now publican, just realised this one states " the Black Horse".

Hi,

Does any one know any details about the Black Horse Public House? when it was built and any publicans, we have found an ancestor Abraham Presley who is on the 1841 census as publican but no public house named, the only one I can find details of is The Black Horse?

Any details would be most helpful.

Isle of Man / Heywood House, Isle of Man

« on: Tuesday 15 September 09 20:17 BST (UK) »

Does anyone know where Heywood house Guest House would have been on the Isle of Man, we think it was in Douglas?

Servetus Ridings bought the Guest house and renamed it Heywood House as they moved to the Isle of Man from Heywood in Lancashire in the early 1900's, we think he died when the Ellen Vannin sank in 1909.

Any information or pictures would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Michelle

Isle of Man / Re: Samuel / Servetus Rydings b 1860

Thanks Jen,

These do seem the right family, Servetus's name does alter on all the census but thats understandable, We know he was known as Samuel after 1901, any idea of where I can confirm his mothers details?

Thanks again

Isle of Man / Samuel / Servetus Rydings b 1860

Hi

I'm looking into the Rydings / Ridings family born in Lancashire but at the time of his death he was living at The Big House, South Quay, Douglas, he was a donkey man on the Ellan Vannin at the time it sank in 1909, his death was registered in 1910 after his body was found.

Any information on his family would be helpful, I can only find his mother with her maiden name as Ridings also.

Any other information on the family would be greatfully appreciated as my daughter is wanting to use Samuel as part of a school project

Thankyou

Lancashire / Re: Margaret Flynn b 1886

Thanks for the reply,

I'll check out that birth record,

she is living in South Normanton which is derbyshire but with the registration district in Mansfield in 1911, I can't find her with her father though on the 1891 census or 1901, she's disappeared.
