Oh my.  Thats a turn up for the boks.

Thank you so much.

This man John Short was described as John Short, formerly of Madras, of Dronfield, Dronfield.  His son Lawrence became the Rector of Ashover and married gentry. Lawrence married Eleanor Holwell who came from very grand lineage.  Relatives have traced them back. Lawrence son william married welsh gentry.  and other sons did well. we had thought that this Jhn short was gentry too.

Any sign of John short senior and caroline Hay please.

Very grateful.

Hi Derek
Re Stephen Birkumshaw - what I would like to know if possible is where he died and was he buried in Clay Cross.  I understand the gravestones have been lifted at St Bartholmews so don't know if he should be there.

If you need any more info about this family I may be able to help.

Hello Derek,
I am just wondering if I could trouble you any information whatsoever about Ellen Wolter (m. William Henry E Wolter), born around 1864 and died in the last quarter of 1899 in Buxton.  Ellen's maiden name was Cantrell.  Anything at all would be a great help! 

Thank you kindly in advance, and I look forward to your response!

Hello Erin..this may take some time.....Ellen Cantrell married William Henry E Wolter in Chorlton Lancashire first Qtr 1898............so they apparently did not have long together....and would not have appeared on any Census together........
At this stage there is no evidence that Ellen belonged in Buxton..and I am about to look for all possible births............you will know that there will be loads of them.......and I suggest that a marriage Certificate might be the only way to find out where she was born...
I'll get back to you.

Derek.
EDIT later........It looks as if Ellen may have been born in Staffs..mayber Stoke on trent..possible parents George and Hannah........one or two possible conflicts in thsi...she appears on 1871..1881 and 1891...first at Sheen Satffs..or Stoke..then as a servant in Devon..and also as a srvant in Hartington in Derbys........
William Henry E Wolter.....was of course a German subject..who appears only on the 1901 (poss 1911 also i haven't looked yet)..as a Widower..and a Hairdresser in Stockport Cheshire..no children.

It looks like he arrived from Germany too late to appear on the 1891 Census..married Ellen 1898..who died 1899.....

Thank you in advance and look forward to hearing if it is possible for you to check this.
