Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: William Chamberlin and Hannah Whitlock
« on: Saturday 18 February 23 16:14 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for the added information. William was living with his "sister's wife" Jane Whitlock in the 1851 Census at 6, East Street in Nottingham. This was also the place where he died on 06 November 1851. The death was reported by a neighbour Maria Smith, who lived at 7 East Street.

In the 1841 Census, William was living with Hannah's brother, Nathaniel Whitlock, and both Nathaniel and William were bakers.

Thanks for such a quick reply.

Hannah Whitlock's mother was Frances Oliver (father John Whitlock) and this plus the age of 36 would seem to confirm that this is "the" Hannah Chamberlin/lain I'm looking for. I'm still a bit nervous regarding the spelling of the last name - just creates a level of uncertainty.

William Chamberlin was alive on census day in 1851. There is a death of a William Chamberlin later in 1851 recorded on the GR0 indexes, age 62, in Nottingham (D quarter).

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / William Chamberlin and Hannah Whitlock
« on: Monday 16 January 23 18:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hannah Whitlock married William Chamberlin 20 Feb 1823 at St. Mary's Nottingham. She was born 13 Oct 1797 at High Pavement Chapel. Believe that he was born in 1789 at West or East Leake Nottinghamshire.

By 1851, he is living with Hannah's sister, Jane Whitlock, and identified as a widow. A Hannah Chamberlain (cross spelling happens a lot) is buried at St. Mary's on 27 August 1933. Wondering whether anyone has access to parish records. According to the National Burial Index for England and Wales, this Hannah was 36 at death, which means born in 1797. There was a cholera epidemic at the time.

Thanks for any help.

On closer examination the document I found online is an administrative bond, referring to "goods chattles and credits" belonging to the late William Rawson of Nottingham. The document is affirmed by Fred Shuttleworth, and relates to his wife, Sarah Shuttleworth, also daughter of William Rawson. It seems to be dated 06 of August 1813. Unfortunately William's date of death is not mentioned.

As I believe you noted, there are a lot of Rawsons in the Nottingham area and I believe this is leading to confusion with many public trees as to which individual belongs to which family. I see mention of a William & Thomas Rawson, hosiers, in 1763 related to an apprenticeship of James Grieves, and I believe these are brothers born in the 1720s, father William Rawson, christened at Castle Gate Meeting (Independent). My William Rawson married Sarah Whitlock on 15 May 1758 at st Nicholas, Nottingham. He was 30 and she is listed as 29, but really was 32

I have come across what I believe to be an estate administration document dated 1813 related to the daughter of William Rawson (Sarah Shuttleworth) related to property owned by Rawson in Leicestershire. The Find my past document indicates that his residence was Nottingham. Still can't find a death or burial in that time period.

Thanks for your reply. The Rawson connection is a modest one - William Rawson married the first daughter of my 5th great grandfather, Nathaniel Whitlock and wife Hannah Matthews. Collecting details of those around them, as their son Matthews Whitlock is my 4th great grandfather and cannot find his baptism. The other children are mostly baptized at High Pavement Chapel and/or St. Mary, but no sign of Matthews. Suspect that he was born about 1733.

Matthews Whitlock (3rd great grandfather) was a hosier and a lace manufacturer baptized 1802 and died in 1879. A great many of the people connected to the family during this time period were linked to lace or other related industries.

I must have an earlier version of the NFHS CD as William Rawson is not listed.

Again, thanks for the reply.

Currently researching a William Rawson, likely baptized at Castle Gate Independent in 1728. Father possibly also William. William Rawson married a Sarah Whitlock in 1758 at St. Nicholas. Described as a hosier, likely that he died about 1788 or 1789. The only child I have been able to trace was Sarah Rawson who married Frederick Shuttleworth in 1799. She was buried in Friar Lane Vaults, which I assume no longer exists. Any additional information would be of help. Nottingham Archives has a will for William Rawson listed but will have to wait until it reopens.
