Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Flexford Mill, Sway, New Forrest

While researching family history I found what appears to have been a family (Kitcher or Kittier) link to Flexford Mill in the late 1700s.  I understand the mill was later converted to a private home.  Also in Sway is Gordleton Mill.   I wonder if the two mills ever had any connection?    Grateful  for any any information.

Derbyshire / Census Records : Sarah Ann Middleton born 1854
« on: Tuesday 09 January 24 17:40 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah Ann Middleton was born on 27 July 1854 in Grindleford Bridge, Derbyshire to parents Zachariah Middleton (born 1821) and Mary b. 1822 (nee Bowering) who married in 1841 in Eyam, Derbyshire.    Sarah married William Laynes (b.1848) in 1877 in Rotherham.

I'm looking for Sarah's census records for 1861 and 1871 before her marriage in 1877.

Family records  support Zachariah (spelling varies) parents were Robert Middleton and Ann Morton who married in 1796 through to the Middleton family who occupied  Leam Halll, Eyam, Derbyshire in the 16/1700.

Grateful for help.

Nottinghamshire / Re: Thomas Alcock m Elizabeth Wilcock - Marriage Year

continued..pressed wrong key

Thomas Alcock m Mary Brooks, 20 September 1828, St Mary's Church, Nottingham,  Vicar: George Wilkins.

Thomas Alcock, widower, m. Eliza Sutton, spinster 22 June 1837, Cheadle, Vicar (same) George Wilkins.

These records suggest Joseph and Harriet's mother was Mary Brooks and then Eliza and Lucy's mother was Eliza Sutton?

Everyone has been so helpful and I thought it relevant to share the above.

A family relative has three extracts from Nottinghamshire Family History Society records which appear to throw more light on Thomas Alcock.   An image for all three can be found on Ancestry.

Elizabeth Sutton, baptised 9 April 1815, St Michael Church, Sutton Bonnington, Notts.  Father: John Sutton, Framework Knitter, Mother: Lydia.

Many thanks to everyone for their interest and patience in this complicated family history.   I was hoping the research would find a marriage record for the parents of Elizabeth Alcock b.1844 who married William Ferriday Evans in 1868, together with a possible lead to an earlier Alcock generation.   The Alcock family history is complex and there appears to be no definitive answer to the family line, or am I having another senior moment and missing the obvious?    Thanks again, everyone.

The Wilcock name originated from a family tree I found on Ancestry.   I'm researching the Evans/Wilcock  family tree backwards, in particular Eliza,  from the marriage of William Ferriday Evans b.1844 and Eliza  Alcock b.1845  who married in Liverpool on 22nd March 1868.  The marriage certificate shows Eliza, daughter of Thomas Alcock, Lace Manufacturer.    The Ancestry tree shows Eliza the daughter of Thomas Alcock born c.1807 and Elizabeth Wilcock born c.1812 but it does not include a marriage date.    I have limited access to Ancestry (local library) but my next step is to email the tree owner to see if he/she can throw any light on the marriage date.
