Derbyshire / Heath Parish Records
« on: Saturday 17 December 22 16:46 GMT (UK)  »
I'm a bit puzzled by the Heath parish records on Ancestry. When I search for Henry Hardwick baptised
10 August 1755 I find him recorded and can see the film of the original document for Heath All Saints church 1682-1812
When I search for John Hardwick baptised 11 February 1753 I find him recorded  and can see a film of a different original document for Heath 1712-1760.
Looking through the first document for John Hardwick there is no record of his baptism in 1753. Likewise there is no record for Henry Hardwick's baptism for 1755 in the second ducument.
Actually I am more than a bit puzzled ?????

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Hillhouse, Bradfield
« on: Tuesday 03 May 22 16:35 BST (UK)  »
I would like to know a little about a place called Hillhouse in the parish of Bradfield. It crops up in the Bradfield parish records in the mid 18th century as the abode of a Fern/Fearn family.
Would it have just been a farmstead or was it more substantial than that. Any information would be gratefully received.

Derbyshire / Winster lost parish records
« on: Saturday 30 November 19 12:44 GMT (UK)  »
The parish records for Winster are missing between 1742 and 1752 (burnt in a fire apparently). Does anyone know if the Bishops transcripts for these years survive?

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Rachael Ball born in South Normanton?
« on: Tuesday 02 December 14 14:47 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1841 & 1851 Census returns for Brimington there is a household with a Rachael/Rachel Ball living with her parents Joseph & Elizabeth Ball. Her birth date is recorded as being about 1813 and her birth place as Normanton (also her parents birthplace). I dfon't think this is Normanton by Derby as I have a transcript for that parish in which are recorded no 'Ball' baptisms.
I'd be interested to know is Rachael's baptism is recorded in South Normanton or Pinxton PR's and if she had any siblings born there. Thanks.

Derbyshire / Derby County Lunatic Asylum
« on: Thursday 27 November 14 16:41 GMT (UK)  »
In March 1856 a Frances Cowlishaw was admitted to the Derby lunatic asylum and discharged in February 1863. The UK lunacy patients admissions register (now available on &ncestry) indicates that Frances was a pauper but gives no other information. It is possible that this Frances was a direct ancestor of mine but I can't be sure without more information.
Does anyone know if there are any other records relating to the Derby asylum that are available to researchers?

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Ecclesfield Marriage 1803
« on: Monday 06 October 14 12:42 BST (UK)  »
There is a transcribed record on @ncestry with reference FHL 1469716, Vol C for the marriage of Thomas Cowlishaw and Elizabeth Bowles on 2 Aug 1803 in Ecclesfield. The transcription indicates that the grooms age was 40 which I can't make fit with anything else I know about Thomas.
I'd be very grateful if someone having access to marriage records for Ecclesfield could check this out please.

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Cowlishaw/Eaton marriage in Kelmarsh
« on: Wednesday 10 September 14 17:57 BST (UK)  »
I have a record for the marriage of Edward Cowlishaw and Dorothy Eaton that took place in Kelmarsh on 14th March 1776. I'd really like to know if the parish record has any other information about either party. Thanks in anticipation.

Family History Beginners Board / Marriage Index - Page Number Error
« on: Saturday 12 April 14 10:06 BST (UK)  »
There is a marriage index record for a Henry Cowlishaw in Rotherham, Q4 1838 but there are no other names associated with the Volume and Page Number 22/1111. I believe the page number is incorrect and it should be 411.
22/411 has names for 3 males and 4 females. I believe that the marriage was between Henry Cowlishaw and Lucy Ramsden but would like to prove it.
How should I go about ordering the marriage record, which Vol/Page Numbers should I use?
Any help gratefully received.

Andy
