I have found James VARDY on the 1871 census however I cannot make out what his occupation is. Previously he was a Framework Knitter.

Any ideas please.

James Vardy born 1811 Blackwell, Derbyshire.

Browsing the web today and found this information regarding the TOMLINSON family & their connection to the Bethel Church at South Normanton.
http://www.bethel-methodist-sn.co.uk/history.htm

I have Tomlinsons in my family tree from South Normanton.Can anyone add any further information about this family. The information I have gathered on this family summarised below. I believe they are connected an Charles would be my GGG grandfather.

Charles Tomlinson born 1822 Worksop (census) later residing South Normanton, Derbyshire
Possibly IGI birth 9/4/1822 Misson, Notts, Parents John Tomlinson & Elizabeth. Too many John Tomlinson & Elizabeth marriages too idenify mothers maiden name.  Not found Charles on the 1841 &1851 census.

On the Census from 1861 onwards Charles is marrried to Matilda (unknown surname)born 1837 Blackwell, Derbshire. they have two children at this time Sarah Ann aged 2yr and John (1 month). There is a Elizabeth Tomlinson widow agd 83yr at 144 Ball Hill (2doors down)  ? Parent or other relation to Charles. I can then trace the family until the 1891 census.

John Tomlinson can be traced up to 1901.
Sarah Ann Perkins  nee Tomlinson Can be traced up to 1901. These are ancestors of my grandmother, Surnames in South Normanton of interest are Page, Perkins, Tomlinson & Draycott

Thank you for any help.  Teresa

I have a interest in George H. Knight born 1854 Annesley, Notts. He remarried in 1882 following the death of his first wife.

1st marriage 1873 to Sarah Jane Stewart. Sarah died 1882 ? in childbirth.
 Death  1882 July - Sept 7b 59 Basford, Notts/Derby

In the 1891 census he is married to Ellen.  Born 1843 Lowick, Northants and in the 1901 she is named as Eleanor. they are living at Annesley, Nottinghamshire

I think this is a possible for George's 2nd  Marriage
Marriage 1882 Oct - Dec 7b 335 Basford, Notts / Derby.

If anyone has any information to offer it will be gratefully recieved. I would also like to trace Ellen on the censuses prior to her marriage in 1882. I have not sent for this marriage cert in case it is a red herring.

Would any fellow rootchat member have any personal knowledge of the PAGE family in South Normanton who ran a Grocer shop. Proprieters would possibly be Reuben & Matilda. I think the shop was there in the 1920 -1940.

Thank you.
