The link with Belper/Heage is one I understand from earlier research on this family. They were at least partially nonconformists, and it was the Belper/Heage Chapel where a number of family members were active. I have a memoir from one of them which recounts that walk being taken regularly, and apparently not always sober either.

I'm following up on William Leam too, but everything begins to point to Elizabeth being born Thorp.

Thank you all for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

OK, I now have a burial for Elizabeth on 14 May 1822 in Crich, aged 90.

So she was likely born Abt 1731, which means that the age of 21 yrs given on the 1753 marriage licence for Elizabeth Thorp would fit..

And for a young lady to marry for the first time in 1765, aged Abt 34yrs would be unusual?

I’m beginning to feel she was likely born Elizabeth Thorp

Hi Spendlove, long time no see!

I hope you’re well.

Yes, I have that image, was hoping it might indicate whether Elizabeth was a spinster or widowed at the time of the marriage.. No such luck!

For such an unusual family name, this one is proving difficult to follow  ;D

FWW, after the death of John Barnes, she later went on to marry a William Annable, and was still living in 1807 when her son, John provided for her care in his Will.

There’s a Samuel Leam buried at Fritchley 30 Jul 1760, which could fit with Elizabeth then remarrying in 1765 to John Barnes

Thank you. I had found that marriage, but not the licence.

I’m still not sure whether it is the Elizabeth I’m looking for. But certainly a possibility

Thank you.

The register entry shows dates for the reading of Banns and of the marriage. It indicates both were of ‘this parish’, but does not mention their previous ‘condition’.

I’m looking at my 5xG Grandparents, John Barnes and Elizabeth Leam, who married on 2 Jan 1765 in Crich.

The problem is that I can’t find a baptism record for Elizabeth. And I’m wondering if she had been widowed before marrying John Barnes. There’s nothing in the marriage record to indicate that..

There is though,an Elizabeth Thorp, who marries Samuel Leam in 1755. There’s also a burial for a Samuel Leam in 1760 (though nothing to indicate this is the same Samuel)

Has anyone got anything that might help to clarify who Elizabeth really was?

Many thanks

The two record sets explain my difficulty in finding him in the Heath PR's, I was loking in the wrong set  ;D If I remember correctly, Heath was a part of the parish of Chesterfield at the time, which may explain why there are two sets of records.

The marriage with Grace certainly looks correct, especially when taken with the role of executor for John, which mentions a Richard of Stainsby.

Thank you for your help! I'm feeling rusty after a couple of years away from regular research.

Hi Pennines,

Yes, I can see that extract, but if I look at the Heath registers via the Ancestry Card index, then I can't see the same record (I wonder if the first one is a second copy given that Heath was combined with other locations at the time?)

That one entry is the only mention I can see of Richard. No burial or marriage I can be confident of. The Derby marriage in 1749 is a possibilty, but there are other Richard's more local to Derby at the time too
