Thank you for all your help today I can't believe how much stuff you have found for me and all in only one day!

I was just wondering if it isn't too much trouble to go back further to find out about 'grandad' James Chambers. Im not sure how far we can go back so don't worry about it if you can't get that information easily.

Im off to bed now but thanks again.

(matthew Brown would be step son -so assume John Chambers married Mary brown -whether she had been married previously I don't know - but I do have the Browns from Codnor in my tree -wonder if she's one of them???

all b in county

HO107 857 3 6 4

You can go onto family search and see if any are on the IGI - but only trust extracted entries -not submitted!

Wonder if Joseph Brown is mary's father -and Edward Brown is John's father?

On family search there is an ancestral file (submitted) which goes back to Thomas Chambers 1696 -but take it with a piece of salt!

Probaly some of it is correct - but aome of it is guesswork and some of it has glaring errors ! (Like my typing!LOL)

e.g.
It has Edward Chambers (and rebecca allan )as the parents  of John Chambers -which looks like may be correct
but it has
Edward Chambers born 6 feb 1775 St marys nottingham
and christened 16 may 1773 Greasley notts
so he was born 2 years after he was christened -and was born approx 8 miles away from where his pre birth christening took place!!!!
The Edward Chambers dies between 1841-1851 and is not buried until jan 1854 Greasley

See what I mean!!!!!

I'll see if I can find Edward in 1851 census

I think I have found him -transcribed as "edwin" -  On image it looks like edward - the second "d" had a curly tail and part of it is missing -so it looks like a dot over the "A"

1851
Hill Top Greasley Notts
Edward Chambers head Widower 78 FWK Greasley Notts
Alfred chambers Grandson U 26 FWK Greasley Notts
HO107 2125 251 18

so this could be his death reg (unfortunately at that period of time the reg doesn't state age at death (certificate would)
FreeBMD Death reg
Edward chambers
mar qtr 1854
basford
7b 61

so if it is correct Edward would have died between middle dec 1853-march 1854

I think John and mary may have married at Selston Notts
mary was from Codnor Derbys and Codnor is quite some distance from Selston by road -but over the fields it was not far at all - many from Codnor married at Selston at that time -as there was no church in Codnor until later
I hve found several from Codnor who married at Selston (also at heanor derbys)

Thank you so much, just a question for you what site are you getting all this information from?

I think I will have to order a few certificates so I can start getting some of the older details confirmed. And to think this is really only my one side of my fathers that I am looking at! I can see why people get addicted to this, it is really fun and interesting.

Hi renee,

Apologies for not getting back to you erlier

I use ancestry, findmypast, -some information is from local research I have done.

You may find FreebMD useful to look up the birth death marriage registrations -this wll also give you a feel of what reg district cover what areas.

www.familysearch.org is a good site to start with - you can look at the 1881 census free -also the IGI which -although not fully transcried yet- has a lot of informaton - bear in mind the extracted records are the ones to be trusted - only use member submitted ones as a guide

I am going away tomorrow until Thurs - so if you want to sort out which chambers you want looking up, I can go into the library when I get back and see what is there

Hope to hear soon

Hi renee, I wonder if our family could be connected.

I have a whole family of chambers in greasley, earliest date is 1743, Thomas Chambers.  I am descended from his son, Henry Chambers born in 1784, but I'm almost positive there must be more siblings because I have found only two children, almost 10 years apart.

I am visiting Greasley in a couple of weeks, grave searching, I'll report back any information =)

Just joined Rootschat today so still on learning curve. Saw this item.
I have Mary Brown bt 6 July 1806 Basford dau of Joseph Brown and Elizabeth Casterton who married 12 Aug 1805 Heanor.
Mary Brown and John Chambers were witnesses at marriage of William Brown (her brother bt 21 May 1809 Basford) to Sarah Keatley on 7 Nov 1831 Eastwood.
Other siblings were Sarah bt 9 June 1812 Basford, Elizabeth bt 6 Mar 1815 Basford, Zillah (Priscilla) bt 26 Nov 1820 Eastwood (she married Christopher Bower 3 June 1838 Eastwood), John age '20' in 1841, Joseph age 26 in 1851 b Eastwood and Samuel bt 15 Mar 1828 Eastwood.
The Casterton family lived in Basford.
I have been stuck on the father Joseph Brown for ages. I believe he was born about 1784 in Heanor or Eastwood but not the son of Paul Brown and Ann Mee as on the IGI because that Joseph died young. Any help welcome.

this looks like "granddad" with his parents
