Nottinghamshire / Rushtons Place, St Marys, Nottingham.

« on: Sunday 24 January 21 17:25 GMT (UK) »

I am researching Alfred Cope supposedly born C1834 in London who, in 1861, lived at Rushtons Place, St Marys, Nottingham. Presumably this is in The Lace Market (Alfred is a Lace Maker) so Is anyone please able to tell me where this would have been as it doesn't appear to exist now?
Confusingly before and after the census childrens births and deathes were registered at Radford, mostly.

Midlothian / Elizabeth McDonald death 1842

« on: Monday 11 May 20 16:29 BST (UK) »

Hi All

I've just found the record of the death of my GGGma in Edinburgh in 1842, The record says "
Interned 8 1/2 D P S.E. John Grays Head Stone". It doesn't name the graveyard so I presume that at the time there was one major burial ground. I'm guessing also that the location is some measurement from a prominent headstone. Can anyone help me with any info on this please?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Selena Rowark born Seffield 1820

« on: Wednesday 26 September 18 21:52 BST (UK) »

Following my thread 'William Rooke and Selina married c 1841' I'm trying to find out more about Selina Rowark and her family.

Selina was married at Gainsborough, on the certificate Selena's father is John Rowark and a witness is Joseph Rowark.

According to 1841 census Selina (Rooks) was born 1820 in Sheffield and she and William are living in Lancaster.

In 1851 a Joseph Rowark lived at Wakefield Place, Gainsborough, he was born Sheffield 1807.
I suspect he will turn out to be a brother. From the births of his cheldren in this censusit would appear that Joseph moved from Sheffield to Gainsborough between 1838 & 1839.
Familysearch.org have an entry ( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:1:MJTT-21G )for a John Rowark marrying Mary Bownes in 1806 at Rotherham. This would fit in with Joseph born 1807.

If anyone can place this family in Sheffield about this time I would very much appreciate it. Obviously I'm not looking to involve anyone in copyright problems but I know Sheffield FHS produce quite a large number of files of PRs and if I can be pointed to the correct one i'm obviously willing to pay for the data.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / William Rooke and Selina married c 1841

« on: Sunday 29 July 18 16:36 BST (UK) »

I'm trying to find the marriage of of a William Rourke and Selina c 1841.

In 1851,1861,1871 I have William Rooke born 1819 London, Middlesex and Selina born Sheffield 1824. His name has been listed at Rooke, Wroe, Rourke but other points, including children, all agree. In 1842 (according to 1851 census) a daughter Mary was born at Derby and from the 1851 census the family lived in Manchester.

Unfortunately any parish records for his birth do not seem to have found their way onto the 'net and I can find no record of a marriage.

I'm trying this in Yorkshire in case that is where they were married, but it all seems a long shot. Any contraty pointers would be appreciated.

Gloucestershire Completed Lookup Requests / John Lloyd marriage in Ebrington?

« on: Wednesday 28 September 16 16:29 BST (UK) »

Is anyone able to help me with a marriage between John Lloyd born Ebrington 1812/13 and Ann born Stretton 1815/16.

I have them in 1861 at Ebrington and 1871 at Charingworth.

I can't find their marriage on FreeBMD or any birth registrations for their first two offspring, Moses 1844/45 and Isabella 1847/48, either. I can only assume they didn't marry till later and their first two childre were registered in her maiden name.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / George Hayes in 1901

« on: Monday 19 January 15 18:52 GMT (UK) »

In 1901 George Hayes lived at 8 Club St., Sutton in Ashfield, Notts. I am looking at this on a photographic copy of the return, but am unable to read the birthplace of his daughter Mary, which appears to be in Derbyshire. Can anyone read this properly for me please?

Another point of interest on this return is that his daughter Emma and her husband Thomas Wass are living with George. In the same census they are recorded at 44 Portland St, Mansfield Woodhouse. Have other people come up with this type of anomaly?

Thanks in anticipation, Mac

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Ralph Tavner in 1901

« on: Saturday 12 October 13 11:55 BST (UK) »

In 1900 The marriage of Ralph Tavner and Lizzie Lomas was registered in Salford.

I can find them as individuals on FamilySearch living on Regents Rd. Is anyone able to look up the full family for me please?

I know that 1911 is free on Ancestry until 14th Oct, but can only find 'Mr Tavner',( but this could be anyone as there were quite a few Tavners around) on the summary sheet but cannot find the family. I have tried different spellings but to no avail. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Thanks for reading this, Mac
