Coming back after a very long time. Ancestry UK has been a massive help and I have discovered that I actually have two Pegg lines!

One goes back to Samuel Pegge (1637-1716) who married Sarah Fletcher. He was born and died in Sutton-on-the-Hill, which I believe is quite close to Pegg Central - the Ashbourne Area.

The other goes back to Thomas Pegg who was born in 1610 in Leicestershire and died at Stoke Golding in that county. He married Margaret Wheeler. (I gather his father was another Thomas but I have no details beyond that.) This is actually my male line down to my maternal grandfather.

If anyone has either of these two in their trees and can add anything I should be very grateful.

I was astonished to find I had two Pegg lines and at first thought I might have a marriage of cousins, as there are links in both lines to Willington, Derbyshire. But in fact the two lines seem quite separate.

Hi Derek

If by chance you have the records for Willington Derbyshire, could you please look up my ancestor William Pegg, who is said to have been born there circa 1803.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks chaps - I'll try that. If it's the one he should show up in parish records.

Derbyshire / Wellington, Derbyshire
« on: Saturday 24 February 07 11:18 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone confirm for me where Wellington, Derbyshire might be? I can't find it on the maps and it doesn't seem to show up as a parish either. It's on my g-g-g grandfather's army record as his birthplace. I thought it might be a mistake, except by googling on the web I've found someone else with a birthplace of Wellington, Derbyshire, so I suppose it must exist.

Any help much appreciated.

The railways used a lot of horses. As well as for shunting they were also used for deliveries to premises!

The North Eastern Railway Association http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/m.h.ellison/nera/ may be able to help with information on the old NER.

The three main companies serving Birmingham in the 19th century were the Midland, London and North Western and Great Western.

I believe railway staffing records (such as remain) are at the Public Record Office in London. They are online at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/default.htm and it may be worth making an enquiry there.

Cheshire / Re: Cheshire Parish Records Marriages only pre 1837

Hi Jean

Thank you! :) That is a big help, and actually better than I deserve, as in ruffling through my notes I somehow managed to conflate two of my sets of ancestors - the only excuse is that they were roughly contemporary and both lived in the Alty area.

I am reasonably sure that the Warburton/Blackshaw marriage is the one I was after, as the Elizabeth I was seeking came from Mobberley.

Apologies for giving false info - I shall try not to be so careless in future.
