Armed Forces / Felony crime 1893 - Northamptonshire Reg't
« on: Sunday 28 March 10 14:29 BST (UK) »
I have recently come across army records for distant family member Thomas Barrick of Little Houghton. These show that he enlisted in to the Northamptonshire Regiment 1886 and was discharged in Dec 1893 following trial and conviction of felony. His service number was 1633.
Where would I be able to find out more about the crime and/or court hearing transcripts etc? It says 'convicted by the civil power' - would that mean not an army matter?
Also, would I be able to get reg't photographs from anywhere?

Mayo / Newport - McNelley?/McNelly?/McNally?
« on: Saturday 12 September 09 09:58 BST (UK) »
I have traced my family tree back to Sarah McNelley born c1839 in Newport. I suspect her father was Walter McNelley born c1810 and her mother Sarah ? born c1820. She had a sister Jane born c1840 born in Ireland.
I'd like to find out more about them before they arrived in England (1840 - 1850) - does anyone know if the newport records exist or will this be the end of my search? I'd be looking for baptism records or marriage of Walter to Sarah pre 1839.
The spelling of the name differs in the english census records so I can't be sure whether I'm looking for McNelley/McNelly/McNally which adds to the problem. Any offers of help or guidance would be appreciated.

Northamptonshire / Re: Jonas Malsbury c1782

Thanks to both for your suggestions and thanks for the warm welcomes too.
I have a copies of the Northamptonshire Marriage Index 1700 - 1837 and Northamptonshire Births & Baptism Index 1751 - 1812 and whilst there are Malsburys (and variants) listed, Jonas is missing. His marriage is recorded in Litchborough in 1806 and shows he was living in the parish at the time and he stayed there until death. The baptism index records two of his children born in Litchborough (I'm hoping 1812 - 1837 will become available soon so I can trace the others).
Its a possibility that he wasn't born in Northamptonshire at all and moved to Litchborough, although by far the largest number of Malsburys were from Northamptonshire. Its also possible that there is a transcription error somewhere although I doubt it e.g. James looks a bit like Jonas. Or perhaps he just liked the name and adopted it from something else!
Before I widen the search to other counties, or try to get to the library, I wondered if there was something unusual which might explain why he seems to have appeared from nowhere. For example, are any of the parish records missing or was Jonas a variant for some other name?
Could there be any other reasons?

Northamptonshire / Jonas Malsbury c1782
« on: Friday 15 May 09 15:39 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm looking for some expert help in getting me further back in my family tree. Can anyone assist?
I have traced my family branch back to Jonas Malsbury, who according to the 1851 Census was born in Whitfield, Northants c1782. I have found him on the 1841 Census and 1851 Census and know that he died in 1856 in Litchborough, Northants. He married Hannah Marriott in Litchborough in Aug 1806 but I can't locate baptism details for him anywhere!!
Can anyone help find his baptism record and therefore who his parents were? I'm well and truly stuck!
