Hello Lisa, I have some information, though way past your required date. The email is no longer valid though. Any chance of a fresh one? Ruth

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Stevenson of Loughborough born 1803
« on: Monday 15 April 13 22:55 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I have recently been looking at wills at Nottm records office. Thomas Stevenson farmer, died in Beeston Nott'm 1801 aged 61. In his will he mentions 3 siblings. Brother Wm Stevenson farmer of Quarndon Leics ( mentions Wms 2 sons: John eldest and Wm who inherits the Beeston farm) brother Joseph Stevenson of Bradmore Notts and sister  Elizabeth - wife of John Marriott of Bradmore Notts and 2 of their children John and Mary.
  I am descended from Wm Stevenson farmer of Beeston and had been unable to track his birthplace. I now believe he is the Wm son of Wm Stevenson mentioned in the will. I was intending to visit Wigston soon to track back on them, so any information would be brilliant.
           regards Ruth

Hello Dave,  Thank you. I'm about sorted on her but my Jebbs / Snodins are still ongoing, I have had contact with you before on Ancesty or Genes. I have assembled some Jebbs into a small tree.
    I found Melicent Jebb 1788 who I was chasing, she is very feint on the Caunton baptism microfiche, I must have seen it 3 times before I detected it.  Ruth

Hi, just lost all my reply!  Try again.    Brilliant, I had looked at LDS but they have put more online. I had not realised - is it an ongoing project?
 Yes, it quite possibly is her, she said 21 on marriage bond, but thats often put or full age, so.....
I saw and held the bond at Nottm archives, amazing the feel  of 200 yrs ago. Witnesses were James Jebb, Millicent Jebb and George Shoemaker who was fellow bondsman.
 I cannot find any info on  'Melicents' birth, in 1841 she ticks born Notts, and in Notts, she has Marys daughter, as Mary has died. Millie dies before 1851 census can give me help. Millie married in Derby, had no known children. That side has links with Derby, so unsure which Jebbs she was for sure.
 Good luck with Eliza, I have 2 Eliza Smiths and struggle with one. Never mind her fathers 3 wives, he also travelled alot with work. I know how hard it is locating moving Smiths!
Cheers R

Nottinghamshire / Dysons : Austerfield Murder 1828
« on: Wednesday 18 February 09 23:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi , I was going to post a request for info on Dysons - but wonder whether I want to be related to these folk!
I have Moses Dyson marrying in Hucknall Nott 1777.  born c 1750/51.  He is stated of Hucknall, but there is nothing on the parish reg, so wondered if from other Notts parts or ?  names William, John, Ann and Elizabeth in the family down the line. Dont know his work/trade.  Ruth

 Hi, Sorry, thought Rob and Liz Smith were Hawthornes parents.
No I'm not researching them but have some family from Caunton / Beesthorpe who am struggling with Mary Jebb circa 1787, who married John Snodin. I can't find her parents or his. He was of  Southwell at marriage, but caanot find birth there. I keep returning to knaw at it.
 I do enjoy trying to solve the puzzle of them, but........  hey ho.Ruth

 Hi, Your quest intrigued me and I have also looked in vain, reading further postings, I realise I was on the same line with finding their marriage in 1880. So could Eliza be in mothers maiden name?  In 1871  Hawthorn and 'Lidd' are in Leicestershire in a Gipsy cart, Lidd was declared as his unmarried sister,both of Skillington, she was probably pregnant with Robert who was born in Leic. (? ) -  birthplaces varies with nearly each census, good job his name is unusual!  Not so for you with Eliza. In 1861 Hawthorne is with parents in Glasgow, birth Glasgow for all. in 1851 with family in Lanarkshire. Could she be visiting one of them?  Might explain why not showing up. Who else in the family is not there in 1891? There are other Hawthorne Smiths - could she be with extended family on either side?
 Would granny Clark have any bearing on her brother Clark ?
I cannot find Lydia in 1861, or her birth in the partial index or free BMD.  Happy hunting......Ruth
