Trade Directories (incl. Sutton-in-Ashfield)

[smouse]

I've looked at the 'trade directories' website with no luck but maybe someone has other sources of data that would include trades for Sutton-in-Ashfield between 1810 and 1840.  I'm specifically interested in finding any references to a butcher called Samuel Paulson.

Thanks.

Hi Damien,

I have looked at the Trade Directories that I have with no luck, I looked at the ones on fiche at the Library but I didn’t find anything there either….but that’s not to say there isn’t, as I didn’t have much time left to do any more.

There was no mention of any Paulson’s in all the books I have on Sutton in Ashfield.

I know you are interested in any Paulson in Sutton in Ashfield from your other post, so I thought I would mention these just in case, it might spark a few more ideas…..


Sutton in Ashfield Independent Congregation
ANN, father William WASS, mother Mary PAULSON, born 7th Feb 1822, baptised 18th Feb 1822 – fathers Occupation = Butcher, abode Sutton in Ashfield.

The NFHS marriage index gives a marriage of William Wass & Mary Paulson at Edwinstowe  2nd April 1822.


Baptism =  St Mary’s - Sutton in Ashfield
Francis, mother DOROTHY PAULSON – 8th Feb 1824

Baptism gave no fathers firstname
Mary Didsbury Paulson – 10th Jan 1830. -- ---- -- mother Dorothy


Baptism =  St Mary’s - Sutton in Ashfield
All have parents SAMUEL & DOROTHY PAULSON

Dorothy Didsbury Paulson – 25th Dec 1808 --- ----
Elizabeth Dudsbury Paulson – 29th July 1810 --- --
John Paulson – 1st March 1812 -- --
Ann Didsbury Paulson – 11th Oct 1813, fathers occupation = Butcher.
Samuel Paulson – 16th April 1815, fathers occupation = Butcher.
William Paulson – 23rd March 1817, fathers occupation = Butcher.
Joseph Paulson – 24th Dec 1820, fathers occupation = Butcher.
Rosamond Paulson – 13th Jan 1833, fathers occupation = Butcher.
Amy Paulson – born 2nd April 1826, baptised 19th May 1850, fathers occupation = Labourer.

The only marriage for an Amy Paulson on the NFHS index is to a John Hackett, 14th Feb 1854 at Nottingham St Mary.

I know you have already been given burials for Sutton but I did go and have a look for the burial of Samuel just to make sure his age was 22 (it was), as I know some of the fiche are difficult to read, one thing I did discover about that burial entry is, it was written in between other burials dated 1837 & 1838 on what I understand to be a copy i.e. not entered in the original register.
At the beginning of the fiche 109 it says;
Burials 1835 – 1845
PR. 9834 Draft/Copy (Original register lost)

It is known there was no proper register of burials between the years 1836 and 1847, just a few loose leaves of burials copied into a reference book and on the whole were badly kept, so maybe there were some burials never even entered at all. 

You may have already seen this Marriage Bond at - http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/mss/catalogue/

Hi Sheila

Thanks for the info it is really appreciated!!   

The 2 baptisms with only the mother's name seem strange.  Do you think this was an error in the record or were they actually entries to single mother, in which case I presume children of Dorothy, the daughter of Samuel & Dorothy?

Also thanks for the link.  I have not seen this site before but it looks really interesting.  I did not expect to find marriage records with ages and occupations in 1808

Hello Damian,

I had a look at the two baptisms with just the mothers’ name, and this is what it says on the copy of the page on microfiche…..

Baptism – Sutton in Ashfield, Fiche 19
8th Feb 1824
Francis son of Dorothy Paulson, abode – Sutton, her absent husband is a Butcher.
by Wm Goodacre, curate.

Baptism – Sutton in Ashfield, Fiche 21
10th Jan 1830
Mary Didsbury, daug of  ~~ & Dorothy Paulson, abode – Sutton.
by Wm Goodacre, curate.

The second baptism had no fathers name but was left blank, but as if they had allowed room as if though they were going to add it…..


Best Wishes

Sheila.
