Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Re: Daniel Isitt

Thanks for that information, he might have been the brother of Daniel but I cannot find any other ISITT'S in Kimbolton on the census, so wondered about the workhouse. I believe there was one in Kimbolton.

Bedfordshire / Re: ISSIT

Hi, I will try the IGI again but one thing that I just noticed, I did spell the name wrongly, although it does vary, especially on Ancestry. It should read ISITT and not Issit as I previously said. Sorry for the confusion.

Bedfordshire / ISSIT

Can you please tell me if  ISITT  is a name common to Bedfordshire.  I am loooking for Daniel Isitt who was aged 10 in 1841 and working as an Ag Lab while boarding with a family named Willers/Millers in Kimbolton but have reason to believe that he may have been born in Bedfordshire
thanks, carose

Thanks for the replies. The query is actually for a friend of mine and we have been working back and have Daniel Isitt on all the census. We have found the regs for him and his wifes death, and also for his marriage to Jane Day, which she has sent for in the hope that it will give a fathers name. So, while waiting for that to arrive, I thought that I would try and find some more ISSIT'S as they seem a bit thin on the ground and cannot find any particular place or area where they seem to have originated from.
It was the fact that Daniel was 10 and boarding out and working that made us wonder if he was an orphan but that will hopefully become clearer when we receive the marriage certificate.

Hello Katie, I have only just read your message on rootschat about Betsy Ann Gathercole. She was the sister of my greatgrandfather George David Clow Gathercole. I do have quite a bit of info on them. Do you go to Sheffield archives? I will be there next week the 11th of August if you want to meet me, but if you don't read this in time will fix something up later

Huntingdonshire Lookup Requests / Daniel Isitt
« on: Tuesday 04 August 09 17:01 BST (UK)  »
On the 41 census Daniel Isitt is boarding with the Willers/Millers family in Kimbolton, Hunts. He is aged 10 and an Ag Lab, place of birth denoted with an N. On the 51, place of birth given as Bedford. On the 61 as Kettering. On the 71 and 81 given as Kimbolton. He married Jane Day in Kimbolton and stayed there the rest of his life. I cannot find any information as to where he might have come from and why he was  living in Kimbolton. There doesn't apppear to be any other Isitt's in the area, leading me to think that Bedford may be his place of birth but where and to whom? Nothing on the IGI, so have now come to a brick wall. Any help appreciated with suggestions as to why he was living with this family. Could he be an orphan and have been taken from the workhouse for employment or sent out to work by his parents to bring some money in to support a large family.Where are the rest of his family?

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Elizabeth Shepherd/Sheppard
« on: Sunday 18 May 08 21:38 BST (UK)  »
 Although it says full age, I have her on all the census from 41, when she was 20,  to 1891, and from her age on these, I think that she was only about 16 on marriage. This also tallys with her age of 77 on her death in 1898. I am expecting to receive the certificate this week, although I am not expecting it to give me any extra information.
 thanks Carose

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: Parish records for Crick
« on: Sunday 18 May 08 21:30 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Sandy, Forgive my ignorance but what is a PM? Post Mortem?
I  don't know what the procedure is in the Northants record offices but in Sheffield there is no problem in copying a marriage from a fiche or a film.
In the past, we did have to fill in a copyright form, but this was done away with at least a year ago or more,and now we can copy whatever we want.  I know that this is the same in the Nottingham, Lincoln and Derbyshire archive and record offices, so I assume that it should apply to any other record office.
For example, I answered a query on this site a few weeks ago from someone wanting a marriage look up in Sheffield archives, where I go regularly. I looked up the marriage for her and also took a copy of it which I then emailed to her. It only cost me 20p but was worth it to know that she was very happy to have the proof of the marriage in front of her.
That is why I posted my request, to anyone visiting the record office that holds the parish records for Crick, to see if they could obtain a copy of the marriage for me. I suppose that I could have contacted the record office, but expect that they would probably charge a lot more than someone on the list. I do have the date of the marriage as someone did send it to me from the Marriage index disc, but have no other details.
Thanks carose
