I am trying to prove or disprove a missing link in our Claypole/Clepole family line.

I would like to find any further information about a Robert Claypole who died about 1658. He is said to have been one of the sons of John Claypole and Mary Angell of Northborough, Northampton (and therefore a brother of Sir John Claypole who married Elizabeth, daughter of Oliver Cromwell)

I have been unable to find a date of birth for this Robert - or discover whether he married or had children of his own. Is there any evidence that he may have moved across the border to one of the settlements in Leicestershire?

Many thanks Alan

I have some loose ends with the Haywood family in the Derbyshire coal fields at the beginning of the nineteenth century and would appreciate some help tying them together.
Ann Haywood was born in Riddings (abt 1811) and married John Naylor (b 1808 from Golden Valley) in May 1830.
The 1841 census has a John Haywood (? Ann's brother) living with them.
We also have a Lydia Haywood (b South Normanton abt 1810) who married and moved to Bulwell Nottingham whilst we also have a George Haywood who was born in Bulwell in 1805 but who spawned a huge family in South Normanton. Were George and Lydia related?
Is it possible to find their parents?
Many thanks Alan

I am trying to trace a branch of the Nessworthy family (based on Tyneside). Four members are known to have lived in the Sculcoates area in 1901 - 57 Pulman Street) and deaths of three are registered either in Sculcoates or Beverley. Is there an easy way of determining where they might have been buried? Susannah Shields (1899), Robert Nessworthy (1910), Ambrose Nessworthy (1915)
Many thanks Alan

I am trying to place a family named Craxford with connections to Huntingdon. Robert first appears about 1760 and married Mary Cockerill at All Saints & St John in 1785 and had six daughters. Robert appears to have been a collector for the Assembly in Huntingdon (new release from records office) - last reference 1810. One daughter, Charlotte, has a son David Robert Stapleton Craxford in 1817 - and another son, Francis Cockerill Craxford (1814), who sentenced to be transported to Tasmania for seven years in 1834.
The Craxford family can be traced back to Gretton, Northamptonshire to 1619 but I have not been able to find references to Huntingdon before about 1760 or after about 1830. Any thoughts, suggestions or other ideas would be gratefully received.
