I wonder if anyone has the baptism records for Walesby church in Nottinghamshire [not the Lincolnshire one] I have been going through my family info, that I found when I used to visit Nottingham archives from Sheffield, and find that I don't have the baptism of my greatgrandmother, Mary Jane Smith. Her parents were George and Mary Smith, nee Fairham.
Mary Jane was born in Walesby in 1862. I have looked on the internet but it doesn't appear to be on Familysearch or the Hugh Wallis site.

Could you please look if there are any Cowles in the probate records. Mine seem to have lived at Westerleigh, Frampton Cotterell, Coal Pit Heath and I think originally from Siston in the 1700's. As I am in Sheffield it is difficult for me to access the Glos. records that I need, if they are not on the internet.
thanks Carose

Can anyone tell me which present day newsapaper covers the Doncaster area, Mexbrough in particular. I wondered if they have a contact column. In researching a relative, Ada Cooper, I have found several children born in different area's, from Swinton to Bradford, Denaby Main to Mexbrough before she finally died in the Doncaster workhouse in 1923. I don't think that any of the children knew of the existence of the others, being left in various places. The last child that she had was Joseph Cooper in 1917 in Mexbrough, and I am trying to trace any descendants, if he survived that is. Apart from his birth certificate, I have no other information as to what happened to him after his birth but wonder where he went to after her death. I recently found another sister Alice Holbrook Cooper born in Swinton in 1906 and she died as recently as 1995 in Huddersfield, which is quite sad, as my father in law Ernest Cooper, born in 1913 in Denaby, did not know of any of his siblings, in fact never knew his mother Ada, as she left him and his sister Mary Cooper/Stone in Rotherham workhouse in 1916. Also missing is Florence Cooper/Stone the twin of Mary born in Bradford in 1911. If anyone can help, please get in touch as I have been researching this for approx. 20 years and in the past few months, everything seems to be clicking into place.
I recently found an entry in the doncaster workhouse, when Ada went into there for a month in August 1913 before she went into Rotherham workhouse and Ernest is named as Ernest Scrimshaw Cooper,so was he the father, who is not named on the birth cert?
thank you

On the 41 census Daniel Isitt is boarding with the Willers/Millers family in Kimbolton, Hunts. He is aged 10 and an Ag Lab, place of birth denoted with an N. On the 51, place of birth given as Bedford. On the 61 as Kettering. On the 71 and 81 given as Kimbolton. He married Jane Day in Kimbolton and stayed there the rest of his life. I cannot find any information as to where he might have come from and why he was  living in Kimbolton. There doesn't apppear to be any other Isitt's in the area, leading me to think that Bedford may be his place of birth but where and to whom? Nothing on the IGI, so have now come to a brick wall. Any help appreciated with suggestions as to why he was living with this family. Could he be an orphan and have been taken from the workhouse for employment or sent out to work by his parents to bring some money in to support a large family.Where are the rest of his family?
