Nottingham Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Toton and Attenborough Nottinghamshire
« on: Wednesday 17 March 21 12:57 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for the entry you've posted. If this is "our" Ann her age from census & her death certificate, this would have made her only 13 years old when she married. There wasn't any reference to her being a minor on her marriage entry, nor was there a signature of a parent giving permission for her to marry. The legal age at that time in England was 21 years.

If Ann was born in 1787 or 1788 (age on census works out to app. that), then she would have been 7 - 8 years old when Christened, it doesn't mention that she wasn't an infant, which was nearly always recorded i.e. the age of the child, the date or year of birth & I've even seen adult recorded against Christening records.

Her niece placed her death notice in the newspaper in 1861 stating that Ann was 76 years when she died, this would have her birth year as 1774 - 1775, this would then have her around 20 when she was Christened.

Thank you very much for your help, I will look further into the one that you speak of in 1795. I've also just read where Long Eaton seems to join Attenborough and it was a chaplery of Sawley at one point, so I will look also at Long Eaton.

I wrote everything that I have on Ann Wilmott, her marriage, the 1851 & 1861 census, (can't find her in 1841), her death certificate and her husband Ben's death certificate. It is the Christening I'm after, she puts Toton on one census & Attenborough on the other. According to the Records Toton was a part of Attenborough.

There are 3 witnesses on the marriage certificate, they are Willm Wilcocks, John Clifford & John Pollen.

Thanks to all for your help, I really need those Attenborough/Toton Parish Registers for Ann's Christening around 1787 to 1792.

Ann's maiden name is Wilmott etc... Her married name is Wesley. As I said it's the Wilmott's I know nothing of, I have Ann at her marriage right through to her death. It's the Nottinghamshire Christening record that I'm after, even if it's her siblings. The Wilmott (etc..) family of Toton and Attenborough is what I'm seeking. Toton is apparently a part of Attenborough, but they both have their own church records.

I've got her marriage entry, I have her death certificate, her husband's death certificate, and all of the Census records. I need the Christening record and hopefully her parents names, so that I can then look for their marriage.

Thanks Britt

I'm looking for Ann Wilmott/Wilmot/Willmot/Willmott, born Toton on 1851 Census and Attenborough on the 1861 Census. Ann married in 1808, and was on the 1841, 1851 & 1861 Census, all in Leicester City, where she also died. I have all of this information.

I don't have her Christening record, therefore I don't have her parents names, nor do I have any of her siblings.

My grateful thanks to anyone who may be able to help regarding my granny.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate the help. Britt

I'm searching for the Wilmott/Willmott/Wilmot family. My gg grandmother gave both Toton and Attenborough, Nottingham on the 1851 and 1861 Census. I don't know who her family are. She was born 1775/1780. Ann wasn't in Nottinghamshire. She was in Leicestershire on all the census records.

My son in law's great Uncle said that they thought she was a nun. I couldn't see how, as they weren't catholic. Cheers for now Britt.

The burial shows the family to be Church of England

This link is a biography of Sister Phyllis , an Anglican [or High Church of England] of The Community of the Sisters of the Church. Hobart. This sister worked in the Hobart area, establishing educational facilities for children notably St. Michael's Collegiate School. In my memory of the group, the sisters wore full  black nunly regalia.
   
The group  was also in Melbourne and the school they founded still flourishes in St Kilda.

Hello Sue,
Thank you so much for the address of the Anglican Convent in Hobart. I wasn't aware that there was such an order. I will write to them and see if they have a mention of Ida Douglas in their records. Britt.

Thank you for the cemetery record. We were there about 4 years ago, and that's when I found the alternate surname for Charles and James Douglas also Dougal. Mary Ann's record states she was born at sea, nothing is recorded on Charles. I will buy the certificate & hope that there may be something on it that  may help. If only the Tasmanian certificates were as informative as the Victorian ones.

Ambly I'm sorry, I was very tired last night & in looking tonight, I see where I made a big boo boo. Thomas who is buried at Cornelian Bay, was the brother of Henry, who is buried with his wife Emma Jane at Middleton. These two men (Henry & Thomas), were the sons of Charles or James Douglas or Dougall, who is buried at Cornelian Bay. (clear as mud?) Regards, Britt.

.... I spoke in 2000 to one of Henry Douglas' sons. He said he remembers as a boy going to visit his grandfather. I arrived at this point going backwards from my son in law. Charles or James Douglas or Dougal (both recorded on the cemetery cards), aged 99 years. His brother Thomas is also buried at the same cemetery, Cornelian Bay. ........

Who was Thomas a brother to?

You have that information. The four Douglas children: Susan, Thomas, Henry & Ida. I'm still hoping that someone can help me regarding Charles Douglas, husband of Emmaline. Does any one have any information at all please, regarding his arrival to Tasmania, & where he came from. Also, I don't know what happened to Ida. Does anyone have any knowledge of her? My son in law's great Uncle said that they thought she was a nun. I couldn't see how, as they weren't catholic. Cheers for now Britt.
