The Common Room / Re: 2 Crosses and a Capstick, where did they go?
« on: Yesterday at 22:48 »
Quote from: Mabel Bagshawe on Yesterday at 21:58
The use of both Cross and Capstick for Ellen's second marriage would usual suggests divorce from rather than death of the first husband, but here you say Richard Capstick definitely died

Not necessarily
The information required is for any former names -- so maiden name and previous married name

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Is this my Richard Depledge?
« on: Monday 22 April 24 16:01 BST (UK)  »
I have some Richard Depledges not too far from Darton -- but probably a generation or so later than yours -- but there may be a connection somewhere?

Richard Depledge "of Burton Smithies" married my 5x Great Aunt Eden Wainwright at Royston in 1754.
I don't have a birthdate for Richard, but Eden was born 1730, so am assuming similar or older.
Richard died in 1758 and was buried at Royston
I have not tracked Richard's family backwards as he is only a side branch

Richard & Eden's children were bapt at Royston and I have made a note that there was another Richard Depledge -- of Notton -- also baptising children at Royston during the same time period.

So it would seem that Richard Depledge was not too unusual name in the wider area at that time

England / Re: Two strange occurrences. Has anybody else come across this?.

Not everyone totally understood the instructions for filling in census forms
So yes, you can get fathers filling in all their children whether still living at home, left home and living elsewhere or even deceased

Or alternatively, she could have been on a visit back to her parents house on census night so entered there but her husband also entered her on their home form too.

The Lighter Side / Re: Marrying your dead wife’s sister
« on: Tuesday 26 March 24 10:17 GMT (UK)  »
My Grandmother's cousin married, as her 3rd husband, their Aunt's widower
She therefore became step-mother to her two cousins

She had divorced her first husband for cruelty ( a rare thing in the early 1900's) -- he later went on to murder the supposed lover of his second wife and was sentenced to hang, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.

She and my Grandmother were close, and my Grandmother inherited several pieces of her gold jewellery which I now have.
One of the pieces has initials on -- but I cannot find anyone with those initials in any of the families she was connected to, so where it has come from is a mystery!

..and the full electoral roll.

That the likes of us don't have access to  :)

Yes you do...it is publicly available (but not online) ..... usually at the relevant council office.

But when filling in the form, you can tick for your name not to be included on a publically-available list

Derbyshire / Re: HADFIELD in Chapel en le Frith/Chapel Milton in 17th/18th Centuries
« on: Wednesday 03 January 24 10:29 GMT (UK)  »
I have an Ann Lingard, daughter of Nicholas Lingard (b 1673) & Ann Ashton who married a Hadfield at around that time.
I don't have any more information at present -- my notes under Nicholas say " His children's names from Wills of sister Ann Kirk and brother-in-law Francis Ashton"

I will have a look later today for my notes on the wills and see if there is any further information


Nicholas was from the  branch of the Lingard family that lived at Stodhart / Stoddart  in Chapel-en-le-Frith. Stodhart is / was a house /farm between Chapel Milton & Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Rev James Clegg of Chinley Chapel fame lived & farmed at Stodhart in the 1700s

Alwyn (the owner of the flickr site mentioned in the above reply) is very knowledgeable about Bournemouth history -- he has a huge collection of postcards of the area.
It might be worthwhile to contact him and see if he can help identify the addresses for you

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Marriage certs

Many Church Registers are on Ancestry, FindMyPast or similar sites

The actual Registers are often held at the local County Archives
A few may still be held at the actual Church

There won't be a "marriage certificate" for the 1831 marriage -- it was before Registration started in 1837.
You should be able to find the entry in the Church Marriage register which will probably give the father's names.

For the 1864 marriage, there will be an entry in the Church Register and a Marriage Certificate --which will give identical information as one is a copy of the other. Again you should get the father's names.

The Mother's name was never asked for or entered on a marriage certificate or in Church registers.
