Hi D,

You are welcome….

We don’t seem to have many Claxton’s showing up in the Nottinghamshire indexes but I thought I would mention this marriage in case they turn out to be one of yours and particularly since the marriage took place in Kirkby in Ashfield.
I looked for the couple on the census but I can’t be sure who they are….

Marriage at Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.
ALFRED WILLIAM CLAXTON & HANNAH WRIGHT – 2nd February 1882

Good morning

The Claxton's were amongst many families from Norfolk who came to Kirkby, Notts.

All the info. posted by Dizzifish (Sheila) is spot on. There were several Claxton brothers who came here - family also lived Carlton. (Originally born in Wighton.)

In Heanor there is a Claxton Street - built by Alfred W. - descendants still there!!!

Ashfield District Council have Cemetery records on line for Kirkby (Kingsway old & new) - I'll need to dig out my notes to help you find burial entries!!!

I am new to this and not sure what I am doing but I have an interest in this Claxton family and wonder whether there is some information that we can share.

Hi, could someone have a look for John (b. c1861) and Sarah (b. c 1857) CLAXTON. They were both born in Norfolk.

Thanks ... D
