How interesting! I have never come across a' Brampton' brick; I've no idea where they were made. Wasp Nest bricks were marked as such.
Of course, there are other Bramptons in the country- perhaps it was found elsewhere and brought here as coincidence.

Father (age 24) and son (age 14 months) died within five days of each other; the son of diarrhoea and convulsions and the father, five days later of pneumonia and hyperpyrexia.But what was the cause and was it the same for both of them?
Slightly more informative than the certificate for a man of 75 who died at the railway station in 1875 - cause of death unknown!

Thankyou rosie and mshrmh
Yes, I know quite a bit about the family - it's just John who I can't trace.I know that in 1851 'he had long deserted the family' ( removal order ).
I followed up likely deaths in Leicester many years ago eg Melton Mowbray and Leicester but they were not right.
I found a transportation record for a John Lovett from Cambridge but no details - talk about grasping at straws!

England / John Lovett

Can any one find a baptism, death or burial ( or anything! ) for John Lovett, please.The only official documentation I have is for his marriage in 1833 to Sarah Dexter in Barrow on Soar, Leicestershire.
He was in Barrow in 1841 - a tailor, aged 25.
That's all I have after 15 years of research!
Thankyou.

Google map---Baycliffe Close, Ashgate, Chesterfield. To the right of Baycliffe, there is a cul de sac. There are houses there now but that is where the brickworks were.
The green area beyond is The Inkerman - the site of the quarry.

Hello MMM45,
Your earlier comment - my father didn't return from India until the end of 1919. Then he was in the reserves and had to go to camp sometime.
My uncle came on leave from France at Christmas 1918; returned to France afterwards and was told he needn't have bothered!
