Hi Valerie, Reference your post re: Pinxton Parish registers, here is what I have:

She died on 8 March 1927, and is shown as was residing at Town Street, Pinxton. and was 83yrs.I believe there is  a photo of the memorial but I would need your e mail for me to send it. Perhaps you could send your e mail address in a PM.

Hello Trevor

I can't thank you enough for all the wonderful information.  I shall have a very happy time checking my tree and adding the details you have sent.

I particularly like my Thomas Kitchens being leader of the bellringers and am intrigued that my nanna, Lucy Clarke, seems to have been a year older than she thought!?  She died in 1994, just short of her 99th birthday.  She was hoping to live to be 100 and it would appear that she almost made it.

I will be in touch by PM asap

Valerie

Sarah STORER 1710-1785 , Ann Stainrod's mother, married Thomas STAINROD 1715-1784

Thank you very much!

Hi Silverleaf,  Sorry about the delay in replying but as I mentioned we are still going through the assessment process for Fostering and there is an unbelievable amount of research and work. Anyway I have a good look through the book and there are no entries for the names you have given me.  I also have records of baptisms, marriages and burials but only for PINXTON.  If you need any look ups for Pinxton then let me know.  Sorry I could not be the bearer of more positive news.  Regards  Trevor

Hi

Just saw this thread and wondered if there was anything mentioned about a colliery accident in December 1858 where my ancestor Francis (Paulson, Pawson, Poulson, ...) was killed?

Hi Damian,  I have checked the book and there is no mention of the accident. I have also checked the Pinxton burial records and he is not listed in those.   Regards  Trevor
