Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / 1861 census look up ,Barnstone

« on: Saturday 24 December 05 17:06 GMT (UK) »

I'm trying to find a Clarke family ,probably resident in Barnstone
Thomas Clarke Head ? father of :-
John Clarke born c1860 Barnstone
Maria Clarke born c1858 Barnstone
Thomas and John are the only ones I'm positive are the same family.I cant actually find John until 1891 when he's a silk weaver in Rochdale.
So any info about Clarkes from this area could be useful

All children were born in Old Hutton near Kendal
Margaret got married at Sedburgh Parish church in July 1841 .She doesn't have a job so I assume she lives at home , Residence is given as Frostrow .I know she and her husband Thomas Farrer are still there in 1851.
I only recently found out her surname and am unable to visit England to look in the library so any sightings of Parks would be most welcome Thanks

Offaly (Kings) / Birr,Reid family late 1700s

« on: Saturday 10 December 05 14:09 GMT (UK) »

Can anybody give me any pointers to finding info about a John Reid/Reed who was born about 1798 and became a soldier in 48th Foot.Army records say he came from Birr.In 1841 hes a pensioner on Isle of Man with wife Mary Ann,son Edward aged 10 .2 more children born there Alfred 1844 and Henrietta Mona 1846 ,then they vanish until 1861 Census in Bury lancs . By 1871 census he's a widower and the enumerator has put his place of birth as Kent ,county cant remember .Is there a town or parish that sounds anything like this?
If they were back in Ireland in 1851 would it be possible to trace them ?
Also son Edward is possibly born Ireland around 1830 was the 48th based in Ireland then ?
So many questions ,any suggestions welcome
Thanks

Does anyone know what happened to children born in the workhouse/taken there shortly after birth ?
My great grandma was there in 1866 ,Mary Ann Howarth,mother Sarah.She then seems to disappear until she marries in Rochdale in 1885.Would she have been 'farmed out' sent to school put to work or what ?
