Thanks Diddy,

Yes, it is the same Joseph Smith. I've found that Lincolnshire FHS offer transcripts of the Guardians minutes from around this time, hopefully this will fill in some of the blanks for me.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi John,

Thank you for your help, especially finding William and Ann(e)s marriage in S. Carlton, I didn't know this.

Looking at William Smith birth in 1792, I've found one in Washingborough, which is only a mile or so up the road from Heighington, so this looks a likely candidate. Just need to find for definite who Joseph's mother was.

It's been a real pain researching the Smith's - especially going so far back; it's all part of the fun though.

Thanks again,
Adam

Thanks again Heather. The date for Joseph (b1814) is too far out to be my Joseph as he is consistantly listed on census and his death cert as being born 1823.

As he is always listed as being born in S. Carlton, I wonder if his parents might be William and Ann living there in 1851. I'll have to find a record of his birth/bapt to prove this.

Thanks again,
Adam

I'm trying to find two families in this area in 1841 but don't have access to the census for Notts. Please could someone with access to this census have a look and see if they can find them for me?

There are three villages where both these families are likely to have lived in 1841:

Thorney HO107/862 book 11 folio 1-7
Broadholme HO107/862 book 12 folio 1-4
Wigsley HO107/862 book 13 folio 1-4

The Hall family in 1841 they would most likely be composed of:

George HALL, 48, Ag Lab, born Thorney
Sarah HALL, 45, born Little Markham
William HALL, 18,born Thorney
Jane HALL, 18, born Wigsley/Thorney
George HALL, 16, born Thorney
Ann HALL, 13, born Thorney
Betsey HALL, 2, born Thorney

Of this family, I'm interested in Jane who went on to marry Joseph SMITH in 1849 whose family possibly consisted of:

William SMITH, labourer, possibly around 50yo
(wifes name unknown)
Joseph SMITH, poss servent or Ag Lab, age 18, born South Carlton, Lincs
+ other children as yet unknown.
 
I'm stuck on these, especially the Smiths as all I know of Joseph's family is from his marriage certificate in 1849 where his father is listed as William, so any information would be fantastic.

Thanks,
Adam

Please could someone with access to the 1841 census for Liverpool do a lookup for me? I'm hoping to find the DAVENEY family in 1841, possibly in West Derby, Liverpool. In 1841 the family would be made up of:

Burton DAVENEY,  ab 25yo, occupation unknown, born poss Liverpool or Ireland.
Charlotte Clara DAVENEY, ab 25yo, poss Dressmaker, born Lancs (Burnley)
Charles DAVENEY, 6yo, born Ireland.

The surname is often spelled phoentically (eg, Davney, Devenny etc..). If anyone could help on this I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,
Adam
