I have been through the Parish Registers, and I am actually looking for their Graves

I also have the burial records from the church and there are no Mottershead graves there, so I am not sure where they would have been buried.

Derbyshire / St Aulkmund's Graves & Gravestones
« on: Saturday 06 September 14 13:20 BST (UK)  »
I am planning a trip to Nottingham Road Cemetery,  tomorrow and was also interested in other Derby burial sites.

Now I know that I have relatives buried at various churches,  including Derby Cathedral,  but I am more interested in burials at St Aulkmund's.

I know that in the 70s/80s that the original church was demolished to make way for the ring road,  but I am interested to find out what happened to the graves and, in particular, the gravestones.

We're they moved to the new church or another location?

Over the last 6months I have made some progress with thanks to a 2nd Cousin.

After some investigation into Mottersheads, in leek, during the 18th and early 19th century,  we believe we have identified family groups and a tree structure,  through baptisms, marriages and burial records

The only thing we are missing are the actual burial places,  and any monumental Inscriptions. We were hoping that this could provide evidence of these groups.

I have a DVD from St Edwards and there are no records of them in the Churchyard and they are too early to be buried in Leek Cemetery.  So where else in Leek could they be buried?

Is it possible that were not registered at St Edwards,  because they paupers?

I have had a bit more of a look in that file and I do not think I am going to find anything up at the Cemetery.

It looks like James, and his wife Mary were buried in Pauper's Graves. The reason I say this is that there is 3 other unrelated people in Grave 1541 and 4 other unrelated people in Grave 2734, where Mary is buried. It also appears to be the same as one of their daughters Ann Matthews (Nee Mottershead).

I think I will need to go somewhere to start looking for the marriage and potentially the births.

Thanks for the offer, but I would like to visit it, myself. Is there any tips on finding the graves, like a particular number they are ordered?

I have some time off so might spend a little bit of that exploring the cemetery. I also want to visit one in Derby and the Derby Records Office in Matlock.

I live in Nottingham, so it only an hour or so away.

Yes, it fits perfectly.

James Mottershead was a Silk Dyer and a Journeyman, and they lived at 1, court no 8, Mill St. One of the their daughters Anne (Matthews) lived at 146 Mill St.

Where is this database?

The Mottersheads in my tree moved from Staffordshire, into Derby and then settling in the town of Long Eaton on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border.

I believe that my Mottershead family originally came from Macclesfield. I have anecdotal evidence that my family came from Mottershead Farm, which is near a bridge on the Macclesfield Canal, called Bridge number 50 (Mottershead Bridge). I am yet to prove this fact, as I cannot get past James Mottershead.

Staffordshire / Marriage Lookup - Mottershead/Hulme - Leek - 1818
« on: Saturday 05 April 14 15:24 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the Marriage of James Mottershead (1790-1870) and Mary Hulme (1794-1878).

The only information I have is that they were married on the 13th August 1818 at St Edwards, Leek. I cannot confirm this information. I am not sure from where this information came. I have not been able to find any on-line confirmation.

Their children are:
 - Thomas Mottershead - b 28 Nov 1818, Christened 13 Aug 1819 - Leek
 - Anne & John Mottershead - b 1824, Christened 11 Apr 1824 - Leek
 - Paul Mottershead - b 13 May 1827, Christened 18 May 1827 - Leek
 - Elizabeth Mottershead - b 1833 - London

Thanks You

Richard Mottershead (4th Great Grandson of James Mottershead and Mary Hulme)

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Parish/Birth Index Lookup - FERGUSON - 1882-1886
« on: Friday 06 March 09 01:43 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks to the 1911 census, to help me pinpoint dates and I managed to find the Baptism of ANNA FERGUSON at the ancestryireland website.

I am still looking to find a birth or baptism record for Thomas. I have the census record and the details of the marriage (again from ancestryireland) to Eveline in 1909.He was born in 1882.

As for their father, Edward,  he died in 1897, hence will not appear on either of the 1901 or 1911  census. I believe that he was born in 1842.
