Nottinghamshire / Re: Rushtons Place, St Marys, Nottingham.

Watson -
Thanks for the follow up. That gives me a good idea of where they were. When the libraries open up again I'll have a couple of hours in Central Library and see what I can find.

Larkspur -
Thanks for that additional info, so far I have nine children for Alfred Cope and Elizabeth / Jane / Elizabeth Jane /Jane Elizabeth from census and BMDs.

Andrew is a new one, not having appeared on any census but an Andrews death recorded Nottingham 1865

Walter appears to have been born Q2 1876 so must have been a late baptism. Walter baptised 1863 appears to have been born Q4 1859  and to have died Q3 1864.

Thanks a lot for those replies.

Watson - I'm familiar with Barker Gate, presumably Rushtons Place was a residential part. and it's been rebuilt.

Larkspur - I'm assuming your info is from PRs. I haven't been able to find any of them 0on the web as and I said before I'm working from Family Search and they're not strong on giving exact locations for census listings. I do know that in 1881 & 1891 they lived on Harley St, Lenton.

Thanks again to you both

Thanks for replying Rosie99 but I found it on Family Search and don't think I can do that on that site, used to be able when they only had 1881.

I am researching Alfred Cope supposedly born C1834 in London who, in 1861, lived at Rushtons Place, St Marys, Nottingham. Presumably this is in The Lace Market (Alfred is a Lace Maker) so Is anyone please able to tell me where this would have been as it doesn't appear to exist now?
Confusingly before and after the census  childrens births and deathes were registered at Radford, mostly.

Forfarian - thanks a lot for that information,t the list of old parishes explained everything. I'm obviously an inexperienced user of Scotlands People, so how did you get to that index in the first place? I've had a quick look since receiving your post and, so far , can't find it.

Hi eilthireach Thanks for responding.

Yes indeed I did get it from Scotlands People,  it just gave me Edinburgh and I couldn't see any other location.

Midlothian / Elizabeth McDonald death 1842
« on: Monday 11 May 20 16:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I've just found the record of the death of my GGGma in Edinburgh in 1842, The record says "
Interned 8 1/2 D P  S.E. John Grays Head Stone". It doesn't name the graveyard so I presume that at the time there was one major burial ground. I'm guessing also that the location is some measurement from a prominent headstone. Can anyone help me with any info on this please?

Completed Census Requests / Re: 1851 Cencus look up Matilda Farbrother COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 06 December 18 19:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Marcus

Thanks for that info.

I've obviously missed something with your mention of a list of Williams children. I think I've found most of them - I have - Caroline 1822, Caleb 1824, Timothy 1825, Dorcus 1828, Arabella 1831, Emma/Elizabeth 1832, Matilda 1834, Susannah 1836, Lavinia 1837, Julia 1839, Nimrod 1840, Jehu ? 1843 and Rhoda 1847. These almost all from census returns.

Apart from William I have found very little of Johns family, but your mention of a Mary going to Canada tied in with the fact that a lot of my early information came from a family history on the 'net from a Marcia Shears published by Western Michigan Geological Society, Michegan bordering  Canada. This had puzzled me and I've lost the link.
