Hi there,
First of all a big welcome to you both - I hope you both enjoy rootschat as much as I have over the past months since joining in Jan 2008. If you're stuck just yell - everyone is willing to help both with information, and getting used to the site - we all started at some time, and know what it feels like to be a bit overwhelmed by it all.
It looks as if SKy1 may be the answer to all your problems, but if not, I wondered if you'd had a chance to visit the Notts Archives (I suspect you have as you already seem to have done lots of research). There are lots of indexes there, and if you haven't been there I can tell you what they have, etc. They sound a fascinating family!
I'm looking for my husband's ancestors who lived in Nottingham, and I'm concentrating on the period between 1700 - 1750 at the moment, so I've got a few resources together to help with the search.
I've just looked to see if I could find any Skevington's on the Burgess list for the early part of the 1700s, but cannot find anything - what trade were they in?
Anyway, if SKy1 isn't able to help, then let me know.
Kind regards,
Paulene
SKy!,
I'm helping a gentleman at the moment, on rootschat, who is following a Dickenson/Dickinson line. It
may be of interest to you:
