Nottinghamshire / Re: James Brooks

Looking at the census and marriage record, you're right! It doesn't show James' birthplace as East Leake and I'm not quite sure why I thought that was the case... Maybe I found something and didn't write it down? I'm really not sure why I have that listed.

I'm hoping the gentleman from eastleake-history.org will have some information on James!

Nottinghamshire / James Brooks
« on: Friday 27 April 12 23:31 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information about the parents of James Brooks of Nottinghamshire. He was a maltster and was born 1797-1801 in East Leake (according to either his marriage record or the census record). He married Hannah Ball 27 February 1823 in Gotham. They had 8 children. He passed away 27 February 1842 in Radford of jaundice. I have found him on the 1841 census, but am completely stumped on his parents!

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Bedfordshire / Re: Elizabeth Boughton

Today, I was looking at HALS and found William Gurney's death! :D He had a will registered and a will filed in 1819 and was listed as a carpenter at Corner Hall in Hemel Hempstead. I'm not entirely sure the difference between registered and filed wills.... Anyhow, do you happen to recall when the burial for William Gurney took place? I'm planning on ordering the will but there isn't any other specific death date or anything.

Thank you again for your help!

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't get any notification messages so it took me a while to see the responses. Thank you very much for looking up the information on William and Elizabeth. Do you happen to know if there was a specific age at which women were referred to as spinsters? I thought that may narrow down the search for her birth certificate. I'll have to look up the Jason Gurney from the 1841 census! Thank you again

I do indeed have a copy of George Gurney's marriage certificate to Jane Hibbs from ancestry.com but never realized that the writing by William Gurney's name said deceased. I also hadn't thought to remember the witness' name, Boughton. Which, given the other information, should (hopefully) be related. Also, one of George's sons was named James B. Gurney. I wonder if he wasn't named for James Boughton....

Coincidentally, George's second marriage was to Jane's sister, Frances S. Hibbs in 1851. On the second marriage certificate, George's father's occupation is listed as carpenter but there are no Boughtons as witnesses.

The obituary for the grandson said "George Gurney [...]; son of William and Elizabeth (Boughton) Gurney". It also lists Frances Hibbs and her family, for whom I have documentation.

Where did you find William Gurney's burial record? I am working on English genealogy, but so far, am not too familiar with all of the websites etc.

Hi David,

I found the marriage between William Gurney and Elizabeth Boughton on familysearch.org and that's all the information it has listed, no witness or anything, but it's the only marriage between a William Gurney and an Elizabeth Boughton. I am positive of their names only because I found them in the background section of their grandson's obituary.

George William Gurney's tombstone lists his birth date as 3 March 1818, which is the same date as in the non-conformist record which lists the parents as William and Elizabeth Gurney, so that also helps confirm the parents. But I'm not sure if they are from Bedfordshire and traveled to Hemel Hempstead for work, or if family lived there... 

I have found George William in census records, but have been unable to find William and Elizabeth Gurney.

I don't know where to look next!

Bedfordshire / Elizabeth Boughton
« on: Sunday 26 June 11 05:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,

I am looking for information about an Elizabeth Boughton. She married William Gurney 28 May 1816 in Luton, Bedfordshire. Other than that, I know absolutely nothing about her or her family. I believe that William Gurney is from Hertfordshire, but after this discovery am unsure. I know that they had one child for sure. George William Gurney was born 3 March 1818 in Hemel Hempstead and was baptized in the non-conformist church.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Dorset / Naile family
« on: Saturday 14 May 11 23:50 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am looking for any information on the Nail/Naile/Nayle family of Tarrant Rushton, Dorset.

The furthest ancestors of whom I know are John Nayle and Elizabeth. I found christening records for their two children in 1732 and 1733. I am unsure as to when either John or Elizabeth was born...

I am also looking for information on their son, Robert Naile and wife, Betty Treanes. Robert was christened 5 April 1732 in Tarrant Rushton. He married Betty Treanes 4 January 1751, also in Tarrant Rushton. I know nothing about Betty, although I found a probably sister named Mary who married a John Huzey, also in 1751 Tarrant Rushton.

Robert and Betty had three children. I am descended from their daughter, Rose.

Any information is greatly appreciated

Hi!

I'm looking for any Steels buried in Carnwath. My Steel ancestors lived in Carnwath and Dunsyre from approximately 1700 (the earliest known ancestor, at least). Any help is greatly appreciated. I do not know any dates of death. The names of all Steel ancestors from that area are as follows. 

1. James Steel 
2. Janet Steel nee Broun (Brown)
3. Thomas Steel b. 1729 in Dunsyre
4. Elizabeth Steel nee Davidson.
5. Margaret Steel b. 1727
6. Janet Steel b. 1731
7. Helen Steel b. 1735

I am especially interested in James Steel, Janet Broun, Thomas Steel and Elizabeth Davidson. Any information is greatly appreciated!
