I have Alfred Sykes born c1887 on my family tree, he is my 5th cousin 3 times removed so is a very distant relation. I do not have his baptism but his parents were John Sykes (bap 4 Mar 1849) in Whitwick and Annie (born Codnor, Derbyshire), Alfred's siblings were Frederick, Ann, John and William, they were born in Codnor while Alfred was born in Thringstone. Alfred also had 2 half siblings as his father married again.
John Sykes born 1849 was the s/o John Gains Sykes (1810 Loughborough) and Mary Bradley and this John was the s/o Nicholas Sikes and Sarah Gains of Loughborough. Nicholas married 2 Sarah's in Loughborough, he and his 3rd wife Mary then moved to Thringstone. Nicholas was a butcher.
Hope this helps,

Hi ciderdrinker,
I was just looking at the Hagley marriage for Thomas Gill to Ann Dugard and realised we both made a mistake  - the marriage is 1744 not 1644.
I hope you don't mind if I ask you another question, do you know how Azarius (c1683) and Paul Gill (c1690) connect to William Gill if at all? Their baptisms aren't on the IGI yet people name them (as well as Roger) as sons of William. Is Roger Gill (who married Ann Gill) possibly the brother of Azarias born c1683?

Hi,
I've read the posts about Roger Gill with great interest.I'm a descendent of Daniel Gill born 1647 in Kingswinford, Daniel's parents are listed on the PR's as Thomas and Ann but this is where I get very confused. I believe Thomas is either the s/o Matthew Gill (Thomas baptised 1606 Old Swinford) or Roger (Thomas baptised 1607 Old Swinford) but I'm having problems sorting this out. I can see that both Matthew and Roger's families moved from Old Swinford to Kingswinford. There are two Thomas's having children baptised in Kingswinford - Thomas & Jone then Thomas & Ann but I'm not sure sure if it's one Thomas marrying twice or if it's the 2 Thomas's of Matthew and Roger.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My husband's GG Grandmother is Ellen COPE/COUPE possibly born in Balderstone circa 1815, she is proving very hard to track down. She is named as the mother of Henry WILCOX of Walsall, Staffordshire on his birth certficate in 1851 - the spelling of her surname being Copo, in 1858 it was Cope on her son James birth certificate. Both birth certificates imply she was married to their father James WILCOX however I just cannot find a marriage for the couple. On the 1851 census she was in Walsall as Ellen COPE, born Balderston, Lancashire and was housekeeper to James WILCOX. In 1861 she was Ellen WILCOX born Brodston, Lincolnshire and in 1871 she said she was born in Walsall. She died in 1874.
I have found a possible baptism that fits nicely in Balderstone - Ellen Coupe bap 1815 d/o Richard and Jane COUPE (nee Anderton)but am not 100% sure that this is correct as I don't definitely know the name of Ellen's father. The mother Jane died in Balderstone in 1831 and was buried in Samlesbury as was daughter Elizabeth/ Betty who was buried in Samlesbury in 1818. Richard & Jane's son George (born 1819) stayed in Balderstone and married Mary Sowerbutts BUT I don't know what happened to Richard (born c1795) and his daughter Jane (born 1824 Balderstone), they are together in Mellor Brow in 1841 but after that they disappear into thin air.
Any help with this family will be greatly appreciated as I'm just going nowhere with them.

I've put together what you've given me (Derbysderek, davidrigg3 and kovel - thank you!) added to what I've found from the earliest Timothy:

Timothy Pegg mar Eliza Turner in Brailsford on 21 Jan 1686 (Boyds marriages)

Timothy Pegg mar Elizabeth Jowet on 28 Apr 1718 in Etwall, they had daughters Sarah 1718 and Maria in 1728, both baptised in Etwall (IGI).

Timothy Pegg born 4 Aug 1768, Melbourne (images of records on NC bmd site) no burial? s/o John & Elizabeth

Timothy Pegg born 13 Mar 1770- details as the previous Timothy

Timothy Pegg, Loughborough, framesmith took an apprentice 1782 (Ancestry image)

Timothy Pegg mar Sarah Hinson at Kegworth on 13 Oct 1800 (IGI)

Timothy Pegg age 10 died 1805, buried in Melbourne (NC image on NC bmd website)

William Timothy Pegg s/o Timothy & Frances born in Northampton (NC image on NC bmd site)

Timothy Pegg, Framesmith, Melbourne 1828 (directory).

My biggest question from the information is I'm still wondering if there's 2 Timothy Pegg's. There's the one who's a framesmith in Loughborough in 1782 and the one born Melbourne in 1770. I can't imagine the 1770 one taking on an apprentice when he was 12. The Loughborough on fits nicely with with my Ann Pegg but I still don't know where he came from or where he went.

There is a baptism in Barwell of an Ann Pegg in 1764 which fits agewise with my Ann but the parents are William & Ann and I can't see the Timothy Pegg link.
