Hi Rootschaters

I wonder if anyone can help me i,am looking for a William Norman b about 1790 St Mary,s Nottingham married to Sarah about 1814 to 1816  William and Sarah had 3 children that i can find William b 1816 John b 1818 and Dinah b 1817 in St Mary,s Nottingham  William married Eliza Goodhall in 1841 St Paul,s Nottingham  They had Eliza Norman  she married Joseph Millership
 John b 1818 we think was a councilor in Nottingham at some time but dont know where to look for records  hope someone can help me thanks  Jo

Hi

There is nothing close on the NFHS CDs. I think you will have to go to the archives and look at the microfiche for St Marys 1814-1816.

Like Jane I can't see a marriage but there are other children baptised at Nottingham St Mary which may or may not be the same couple. It's quite a sad story 

I'll list them all in the order name, date, abode and father's occupation

William   09/08/1816 Toll House Hill tailor
Dinah     03/07/1817 Clinton St tailor buried 12/07/1817 age 1 month
John      31/07/1818 Fine Street tailor buried 28/12/1818 age 5 months*
Joseph    27/11/1825 Lincoln Street framesmith
Ann       05/09/1827 Lincoln Street tailor buried 02/06/1829 age 1
Caroline  20/02/1831 Harris' Place tailor
Robert    18/08/1833 Brook St plumber buried 30/11/1834 age 16 months
Harriet   06/12/1835 Independant Hill Glazier buried 04/01/1837 age 1

Also an earlier one at Radford St Peter
Sarah 06/11/1814 Radford tailor

More burials at Nottingham St Mary - abode given as Lincoln Street
Elizabeth 08/02/1824 age 1
Joseph 29/07/1825 age 4
Susannah 25/05/1826 age 2
This suggests that the gap in the baptism dates means they moved briefly out of St Mary's and had some children elsewhere

Sarah Norman buried 03/05/1831 age 36

Marriage of William Norman to Sarah Titterton Nottingham St Mary 02/08/1831. So either a second marriage or those last two baptisms belong to a different William and Sarah

* It's possible this John died and a second John was born shortly afterwards?

Just picking this one up again Jo, hope you don't mind. Is this your family in 1861? I'm going by the 1901 census where Eliza Millership has a brother William Norman c.1858

RG9 2468 36 27
Derby Road Nottingham
William Norman head 45 lace maker Nottingham
Eliza wife 44
Mary dau 21
John son 19
Sarah dau12
Eliza dau 9 Sneinton
William son 3 Sneinton
Dosey mother 60 housekeeper Belven Yorks

If these are yours, then I think you may have been chasing the wrong family above. There is a William Norman bap to John and Doesey at Nottingham St Peters 20/07/1815. Also 8 other children including a John in 1810.

Apologies if I'm barking up the wrong tree here

Hi Heather  Yes my family is Eliza Millership b 1852  nee Norman she was my great great grand mother she died in 1930 just before her 80 th birthday  who has her brother John Norman b  1842 living with them in 1901 so it looks like i have been barking up wrong tree As i have checked my records again and the one you have got agrees with all my dates  i did not have Mary 21 or Sarah 12 or Dorsey 60  mother   thanks for  the info going to see if i can find out more about them  i have found a William Norman b 1817  in 1881 as a lace maker living at
14 Stretton Street Nottingham St Mary Nottingham  RG11 Piece/ Folio 3356/97 Page 39 This is the same one Thanks i will look again for William,s father and mother Dorsey



 Thanks Jo

Hi Heather I have found John Norman,s marriage to a Dorsey Elliott in 1809 at Saint Mary and Saint Nicholas in Beverley Yorkshire  can not find any children born there all born Nottingham

[Heather D]

That's great Jo - glad it's coming together! I see your Dosey was also baptised there, so they were probably marrying in the bride's family parish.
Might be worth asking on the East Riding board if anyone has access to the records and could tell you whether it stated a parish for John?
