Hi, would anyone have an index which would give the parish that the following marriages took place in?

I believe that it's a double marriage.

Dec qtr 1859
Meranuel Booth to Okey Smith
Mary Ann Smith to Magnus Smith

Thanks for any help.

Just wondered if anyone had access to the parish registers for Radford, and could help me with any further information on the following?

I’ve been looking at my OH’s family, and have finally (I think) managed to unravel the tangled mess left by his GGG-Grandmother and the jumble of surnames.

She was Ann Ward, born c.1800 at Stafford if she is to be believed on the census returns, and somehow makes her way to Radford where all the following takes place.

On May 18th 1823 she married William Loversuch.  I’ve found two children on freereg, Emily born 1828 and Amos born 1830.  The IGI says Emily died 1829.

I assume William must also have died after this as on Jan 23rd 1834 Ann Loversuch marries Edward Bramley.

On Oct 9th 1836 a son is baptised, Thomas Bramley, son of Ann Bramley, lace runner.  No father is mentioned, but Thomas uses the surname Major throughout his life.

May 7th 1839 Louisa Major is born, I have her birth cert.  She is the daughter of Ann Bramley and George Major.  George’s occupation is higgler.

1841 census, Lenton, Radford:
George Major 25 lab y
Ann Major 40 n
Louisa Major 2 y
Thomas Major 5 y

Her son Amos Loversuch from her first marriage is seemingly alone in the workhouse aged 10. 

There is a death for George Major in 1842, and a birth record in the Dec qtr 1842 for an Isiah Major Bramley.

There is a further son born in 1845, he is on freereg as Peter Bramley, and possibly on freebmd as Philip Major.  Again, no father is mentioned on the baptism and he uses the name Philip in later life.  On the 1851 Ann is using ‘Liversidge’ as a surname, is a widow and children Amos, Louisa, Isaac (Isiah) and Philip are with her.  Louisa uses the surname ‘Liversedge’ when she marries in 1866. Ann reverts back to Bramley as a surname.

What I don't know is:

a)   When her husbands William Loversuch and Edward Bramley died (if indeed they did die)?
b)   Is there any further information in the baptism records of Louisa Major and Isiah Major Bramley (I have the baptisms of the other children from freereg), or indeed any baptisms of other children?
c)   Is there any further information in the burial record of George Major who died 1842?

Such a confused mess!    My OH’s direct ancestor is Thomas Bramley/Major, and I don’t know whether his father is Edward Bramley, George Major or someone else entirely.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I've decided to start tracing my MIL's family - could anyone find these people on the 1901 census for me to start me on my way please?

Arnold Cox, born 1900/1901 (think he'll be a few months old on the 1901), father John William Cox, labourer - Ulceby area

Thomas and Alice Park(e)s (transcribed as Parker I believe), living in Ulceby - Thomas born c.1866 and Alice born c.1870/1.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm looking for a Michael SLEIGHT, born c.1831 in Barnetby-le-Wold.  I think I've found him on the IGI, but mistranscribed.  Could anyone check out the actual image for me please?

On the IGI there is a Michael Slight, aged 30 (but his wife Hannah is 47), born at Barnaby.  I can see how Barnaby could be Barnetby, but I'm hoping his age is actually 50 and not 30.  On the 1881 he's living at Nelson Street, Grimsby.

Thanks for any help,

Jo.

Hi,

Could anyone do me a look-up on the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census please for my 2xGt-Grandmother HANNAH HARE?

I've just received her marriage certificate in the post this morning so I now know her fathers name.

Hannah was born c.1831/32 - from later census returns she gives her birthplace as Owersby.  Her father is JOHN HARE, cottager.

Hannah married in 1863.  Her occupation is servant and she is 'of full age'.  Her residence at the time of her marriage is hard to read but appears to be 'North Fulholme in Owersby', as is her husbands, Robert Lowman.  I've been looking on a map of the Owersby area and believe this may be North Gulham.

Thanks for any help,

Jo.
