I am researching one of my ancestors named Thomas Trippet who lived in Southwell for much of his life it seems. His daughter, Elizabeth (b. 1766, Southwell) married John Briggs, my ancestor. Elizabeth had three brothers (William, John & Thomas) all born in Southwell in the 1760s & 70s. Thomas's (Sr) wife was named Sarah, but I haven't been able to find any marriage record for them.

I had just about given up on the Trippets when I googled them and came up with a hit in an old book online called The history of Southwell, in the county of Nottingham, its hamlets and vicinage which had been published in 1818. In the section on longevity, under the "Aged persons now resident in Southwell", it says: Thomas Trippet, 86. This is almost surely my Thomas. I have not found any birth or death for Thomas, so if anyone had access to a Notts burial index or something could they please lookup a death of Thomas Trippet sometime around 1818. This makes the birth year for Thomas around 1732 (assuming the book was published near to when the ages were taken). Any help in finding a birth/baptism for him would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I am researching the surname Frecknall and some of my relatives went to Ireland in the 1870s I think. Their names were Henry Frecknall (or Frecknell) and his wife Lavinia Milton. Henry was from England and Lavinia from Canada (they got married in Montreal, Canada in 1863 while Henry was a soldier. Their children were:

(Stephen) Henry Frecknell (b. c.1865, Canada)
(John) William "Willie" Frecknell (b. c. 1867, Canada)
Ann M Frecknell (b. c.1869, New Brunswick, Canada)
Albert Edward Frecknell (b. c. 1871)
Lavinia Marian Frecknell (b. 1873, Weymouth, Dorset, England)
Chrisopher Frecknell (b. 25 Dec 1875, Dublin, Ireland) - according to the IGI.

I was wondering what records might exist that could help me research this family? I have looked for census  records for this period without success. Are there any passenger lists from Canada or England to Ireland? I haven't used Irish records before so I'm a complete novice.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks Julie,

That burial for John is probably the right one. I'm not sure about the one for Mary though because I can't find her in 1871. I've found another Mary born 1796 in Dublin living in Coventry in that census but she is definately not the one I'm looking for. It's also likely that she didn't stay in Coventry after John died. They had come quite a long way from Southwell, Nottinghamshire originally between 1841 and 1851, so she may have gone back. The problem again is that it's such a common name!!!

Thank you again,
Alexander

Is there anyone who could lookup the details of two burials in London Road Cemetery, Coventry, Warwickshire? I am searching for the deaths of my relatives John and Mary Turner, who died (I think!) around 1866 and 1863 repectively. Since they're such common names though, I wanted to be sure that it was them before I go ahead and order the certificates. I'm quite sure that they were buried in this cemetery.

Thanks for any help in advance!
