Thanks Lots , Miss Hepburn ,

I knew the Revolvy stuff and have read Foxe's on cousin Joyce but the pic of the Mkt Place plaque is great , must look out for that when I visit Lichfield ( last time was 1977 ! )

Staffordshire / Joyce Curzon ( Mrs Lewes ) : Lichfield Marian Martyr

« on: Tuesday 18 June 19 11:31 BST (UK) »

Must go to Lichfield soon to visit Erasmus Darwin House and also to find out more about my cousin Joyce Lewes ( nee Curzon ) who was burnt at the stake in Lichfield Mkt Place in Dec 1557 as a Protestant Martyr in the bad days of Bloody Queen Mary. ( there's a memorial to her in Mancetter Church , Atherstone ).

Is there a marker or plaque in the market place to Joyce or the martyrs in general ? I found somewhere forgotten in the internet a very blurry photo of a painting of Joyce at the stake in a white dress with Lichfield Cathedral behind. Does anybody know where this painting is ? I'd like to take a better photo of it.

( Also have family links to Tamworth & Elford ) ----- Anthony , Leicester

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Samuel Haywood Hangman d1848

« on: Saturday 25 May 19 11:18 BST (UK) »

Hi Matt ,
Did you ever find a pic of Sam Haywood the Georgian/Early Victorian Hangman for Leics/Derbys/Notts ? He was my GGGG-Grandfather , his G-granddaughter Priscilla was my Great-Grandmother. She married James Kirkland of Measham/Oakthorpe , a descendant of the celebrated Dr Kirkland of Ashby de la Zouch. Richard Felix the TV historian ran an exhibition about Sam at Derby Gaol Museum a few years ago that I missed by just days. I met another descendant by pure accident when looking for Kirkland family graves in Measham. Not aware of any picture. He died 1848 of flu so not a photo , prob not important enough to be painted. Engraving ? Sketch ? His grandson was John Haywood , a much respected Methodist Lay Preacher in Oakthorpe.

will know more than is available online .... Anthony

Leicestershire / Bulstrode Family in Isley Walton nr Castle Donington

« on: Friday 15 September 17 15:01 BST (UK) »

Does anybody out there know anything about my Bulstrode ancestors from Isley Walton near Castle
Donington/Kegworth ? In September 1744 my 5xGGF Benjamin Beavington from Ashby dlZ marries
Sarah Bulstrode in Isley Walton. Her spinster sister Grace is buried in Ashby 1773. In 1801
Sarah's sister-in-law Elizabeth Bulstrode (nee Mynors ?) is living there in the manor house rented from
the Company of Bowyers. They appear to be wealthy farmers. Are they related to the Buckinghamshire Bulstrodes ? Is Bulstrode Place in Kegworth named after them ? Why ?
Are there any traces of them locally in church or graveyard ?
Grateful for any info ..... Anthony , Leicester

Derbyshire / Re: Finderne family of Findern

« on: Monday 13 February 17 16:50 GMT (UK) »

Thanks ,
Managed to download/print these pages. Does confirm my feelings
that the family died out inconveniently early ! But this article has
fuller family tree than I'd ever seen.

Derbyshire / Finderne family of Findern

« on: Wednesday 08 February 17 09:58 GMT (UK) »

I have a 12 x GGM Mary Finderne , dau of Thomas F of Findern , Derbyshire marrying
my 12xGGF John Turvile in Thurlaston , Leics , probably around 1530.
I am finding great difficulty finding out anything about the Finderne family.
Did they die out before such things as Visitation Reports were produced ?
Grateful for any information , family tree would wonderful !

Leicestershire / The Lady's Wast ( in 'Forest or Chase of Leicester' )

« on: Friday 16 September 16 13:21 BST (UK) »

A 1619 Will of an ancestor from Thurlaston ( Edward Turville ) refers to a piece of
land called 'Lady's Wast' in the 'Forest or Chase of Leicester in the County of Leicester'.

Can anybody pinpoint where this land would be on a modern map ? Or provide more
information about it ?

Thanks , Anthony , Leicester
