Travelling People / GREGORY, Derbyshire England. Fortune Telling Gypsies
« on: Sunday 28 March 21 13:32 BST (UK)  »
Hello all

Doing a bit of research for my Mother in law and she tells me she comes from a family of fortune telling gypsyies by the surname Gregory

I haven't gotten far on this side the only thing I have is one Gregory and she was Married to a Bowskill in Derbyshire, England

He did go off to marry someone else and it's believe that there is a curse put on the family because of the husband.

I'll try to get more info at anyone's request, thank you for reading

Hello everyone,

Sorry I'm not sure where to post this but Ive been looking for a James Glover on and off for a year and a bit now and keep coming up short, the only information I have of this man is that him and my family are from Scotland, Edinburgh his occupation was a diamond cutter and he died some time around 1900 on a birth certificate he is named the father of an illegitimate child named Alexander Clark Glover and the mother is Mary Clark or mclennon or mclean. Any other questions and I'll answer them as well as I can.

Thank you for reading

Derbyshire / Struggle with following Leivers family tree
« on: Monday 17 February 20 20:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone

I've been following my partner's father family tree recently and I've hit a wall with an Ernest Leivers and wife Nellie Wright.

Unfortunately I don't have anything in the way of certificates except what they have told me and what I've found so far but from what I found is this:

Grandad John Michael Leivers Born 1939 and Grandma are from Mansfield, Derbyshire. Not sure when They married

John Leivers had a brother Geoffrey Pollard born  1931

Their Father was Frederick Ernest Leivers born 1912 and mother was Doris A Pollard born  1910 They were also from Mansfield, Derbyshire They married in October 1936

Finally Ernest Leivers born 1880 is from Stanton Hill, Nottinghamshire and Nellie Wright born  1882 is from Leicestershire they married in 1912

I'm sorry for lack of certificates I hope what I have is somewhat useful.

Regards
Connor

Banffshire / Illegitimate great grandfather Glover/Clark?
« on: Sunday 02 February 20 20:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, first time posting here, I've been having trouble tracing my family line, I'm looking for my great grandfather Alexander Clark Glover born in 1879 in Buckie in Banffshire and died in 1963 in Edinburgh

Now this is where it gets difficult, in his marriages and death certificate he is named Alexander Clark Glover with the father named James Glover who was a diamond cutter and his Mother's maiden name was Mary M'Lean or Mclean?

But in his Death certificate in brackets he is 'Formally  Alexander Clark' and his mother is named Mary Clark instead of McLean.

Now I've maybe found an 1881 census where he is three years old with his grandmother 'Jessie Mclean'

And in a 1891 census I've possibly found him on the HMS 'Mars' training ship docked at the river tay, it says he's from Buckie but I can't prove its him,

Now I've just recently found a Birth Certificate of an Alexander Clark from Rathven in Buckie born illegitimate to a Helen Clark and her mother is marked with an X

I need help proving that this Alexander Clark is my great grandfather and answer the question of why his mother has different surnames.

Any help would be appreciated I'm at my Witt's end
