Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / BRIERLEY/BRIERLY Selston MIs pls
« on: Thursday 20 November 14 01:45 GMT (UK) »
I hope that SKS will be able to help with MIs at St Helen's, Selston for
the following & their families:
John BRIERLY (bur 13 Jan 1858, age 75)
John BRIERLEY (bur 05 Oct 1878, age 78)
I'm helping research a WWI soldier Harry Lowry MOFFITT who died 19 Jul 1917 in Fromelles France. He is thought to be one of the soldiers exhumed from a mass grave about five years ago. We are expanding his tree back into the past, as well as coming forward so that we may connect to living family members.
Harry MOFFITT's maternal great-grandmother was Mary BRIERLY, bap 12 Mar 1826 at Selston, d of John & Ann BRIERLY.
There are, however, two different families of John & Ann BRIERLY in Selston that overlap to a certain extent.
The MIs would help clarify this situation, especially as the burial registers don't include relationships.
Family 1 : 26 Mar 1805. John BRIERLY mar Ann fmr? POTTER
Family 2 : 17 Feb 1820. John BRIERLY mar Ann fmr? SHACROFT
also from the burial register:
15 Aug 1824. Anne BRIERLY, abode Selston, age 46 years
03 Jul 1861. Ann BRIERLEY, abode Selston, age 60 years
Mary BRIERLY married elsewhere in Nottinghamshire, and is neither the 1841 or 1851 census with her parents. Mary d in 1854 in London.
Mary's daughter & Harry's mother, Rebecca Susanna Hannah MINNS (1852-1952), emigrated to Australia.
(just a note: the Selston BMB registers on microfilm have been checked, as have the census records)
