Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / George Wright
« on: Sunday 06 August 23 15:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi I need some help finding George Wright, he was born in Nottinghamshire in 1850. I think he was born in Hucknall, but that's pretty much all I can find, he married Annie Bennett (born in Eastwood) in Hucknall possibly around 1888, but I'm struggling to find a record, any help would be appreciated.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Wright Family
« on: Sunday 03 July 22 06:56 BST (UK)  »
I've been trying to research the family of my Gt Grandmother Alice May Wright for some time but not getting very far.
Alice was born in Hucknall in 1912, to Teresa Allen and Ernest Wright. That's as much as I know really. I've tried various people with the Wright surname but not sure I'm getting anywhere.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Collins Family
« on: Sunday 03 July 22 06:52 BST (UK)  »
I've been trying to research my Collins family for some time now but am just hitting brick walls.
So my Gt Grandad was Henry Collins who was born in Luton Bedfordshire in 1905, his parents were both from Loughborough.
I have a dna match with Henry Collins (born Loughborough 1849, died 1878) but not his wife Louisa Parrott, so am not sure if she is right, any help greatly appreciated.

My 2x Gt Grandfather Henry Elijah Axten was a Glass Optical Worker in 1891 in Leicester and living at Clipstone Street. I was just wondering if anyone would know where he would've worked?

Dorset Lookup Requests / Stephen Ashford
« on: Tuesday 21 September 21 14:27 BST (UK)  »
I've been researching my 3x Gt Grandfather Stephen Ashford for quite a few years, and I'm struggling to research his second wife Emma Drake, my 3x Gt Grandmother.
Stephen was born in Somerset in 1827, when he was 23 he joined the army in Dorchester, in 1852 he married Sarah Knowler and they had one daughter Ann Maria, just before he was due to go the crimea he went absent without leave, and I can find no trace of him until 1867 when he is bigamously marrying Emma Drake who I belive was only 15. I thought I had found Emma's family in Cornwall but I have no dna matches to them and my dna results have nothing in Cornwall. So I'm at a bit of a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Collins Family
« on: Sunday 25 April 21 14:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi I'm trying to find my Collins family in Loughborough. I'm related through my Grandmother Florence Louisa Collins who was born in Loughborough in 1926 to Eliza Ann Needham and Henry Collins. Henry was born in Luton Bedfordshire in 1905 to Charles Henry Collins and Florence Smith. Charles Henry was born to Henry Collins and Louisa Parrott in Loughborough in 1875, this is where I have my issue. I have dna matches with Louisa Parrott but nothing on the Collins side which is very confusing and now I'm not sure if I'm right.

Hi I'm trying to find my 6x Gt Grandmother Elizabeth Blackshaw, she was born in Sheriff Hutton in 1775 and married Joseph Parrott in Shepshed Leicestershire when she was 21. I can't find any birth or baptism for her so can't identify her parents.

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Francis and Patience Dewberry
« on: Wednesday 29 July 20 13:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi I've been looking in to the Dewberry family for a while, and I'm very stuck with Francis and his wife Patience. I don't have a date of birth (they married in 1774) for Francis and I'm stuck with Patience's maiden name, which I originally thought was Parshant, but might've been Pionel. Any help much appreciated.

Cornwall Lookup Requests / George Drake
« on: Thursday 30 April 20 11:54 BST (UK)  »
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to find Bodmin Gaol records. I'm looking in to my 5x Gt Uncle George Drake who was jailed in 1834 for beastility on a mare (oh the shame). I have his jail record on Ancestry but wondered if there would be a more detailed record somewhere as I know he tried to break out of jail. George's sister Jane (my 5x Gt Grandmother) was also in Bodmin Gaol in 1838 for 'wandering and lodging in the open air and not giving a good account of herself'' so would be interested to see if there is any records of her being there too. Thank you.
