Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Poyser marrying a poyser in Derby
« on: Saturday 04 March 17 14:31 GMT (UK)  »
While researching the family of George Poyser (1810-1868) & Sabra Hazeldine (1809-1840) I am trying to trace their first born son Alfred Poyser b. 1834 in Derby

Looking at possible marriages, I have come across a record of a marriage on February 20th 1867 at  Saint Werburgh which gives the following information

Alfred Poyser Marrying Eliza Poyser

Alfred's father is stated as George Poyser
Eliza's father stated as Joseph Poyser - Eliza being a Widow

What intrigued me about this record is that George Poyser has a brother Joseph Poyser born to parents George Poyser 1778-1853 & Martha Daking 1777-1842 - so, could the offspring of 2 brother be marrying each other??

As an aside, After George Poyser's first wife, Sabra Hazeldine died in 1841, he went on to marry his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Hazeldine which was in breach of the Marriage act of 1835 - bad boy!

If anyone has access to Parish Records for Saint Werburgh's I would appreciate some additional information on the Marriage of Alfred and Eliza Poyser.

Durham / Birth date for Jonas Todd 1837-1867
« on: Wednesday 22 February 17 18:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, can anyone help with an exact birth date for Jonas Todd

He was born in 1837 and baptised on May 7 1937. Father Jonas Todd Mother Mary Horner Gardner. FindMyPast only has a transcript and has ?? for the birth date.

Interesting character this one. He died on May 30th 1867 in a major mining accident. The inquest was covered by the Times newspaper.

The inquest suggested he had a wife and 2 children but I have not been able to prove this. GRO does have a marriage reference, but when the certificate arrived, it show that Elizabeth Jane Whitfield actually married Jonas's brother, Robert Gardner Todd!
