Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Dean/ Needham in 1841
« on: Friday 02 October 09 13:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone.

I am researching some of my great^3-grandparents:
German Dean b c.1821 (Kirk Ireton) and Elizabeth nee Needham b c.1823.
I have found them -- married -- in the 1851 census using
the Wirksworth records available at http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/CENSUS.htm
(and subsequently) but cannot find either of them in 1841.
I was wondering whether anyone can help with this.

Incidentally, does anyone know the background of the first-name 'German'?

Lanarkshire / benson 1881

Hello everyone.

I am seeking information about a Joseph Benson, in particular where he was born.
I thought the 1881 census might help.
When married in Glasgow in 1882, he was listed as being 26, occupation sawyer.

Offaly (Kings) / shea - kellett
« on: Thursday 31 January 08 04:20 GMT (UK)  »
I am seeking information about GEORGE SHEA and ANN KELLETT.
They were each born about 1822 and apparently married just before leaving for Australia in 1842.
We suspect they came from Offaly County - but are unsure.
Does anyone have any knowledge or suggestions?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / 1851/61 Butters
« on: Monday 06 August 07 12:38 BST (UK)  »
G'day.

I have identified the marriage of Neal Butters & Frances Guy in St Marylebone in Sept 1861.
Neal's dad is shown as also Neal.
But that is as far back as I can get to with those Butters.
Anyone have any ideas?

Can anyone tell me anything about Robert & Esther Maxwell, married in early 1841 in "Gorbals"?

By 1851 they had several girls & by 1861 a few more, including Margaret whom I have as born 1857.
