Notts Council Archives

[jillruss]

Hi,

I've looked on the website for Nottinghamshire County Council's Archives and it looks as though they are the first I've come across that do not offer a postal search service.

Have I got this right?

Jill.

i am planning to go to the notts archives one day next week f you like i can see if i can find what you are lookin for

Hi Teresa,

This is really good of you.

I am looking for the birth/baptism of FRANCIS PATCHETT in about 1755-65 and hoping to get his parents' names.

The first problem is that the surname seems to have many variations in spelling - usually Padgett or Paget.

The second problem is that I'm really not sure exactly where he came from. He married in SHELFORD, his wife was from FLINTHAM, their children were all born in SOUTHWELL and on their marriage licence his parish is described as EAST STOKE. I've looked on the map and all these places are pretty near each other - my favourites would be East Stoke and Southwell.

Thanks again,
Jill.

OK I'm going to be really cheeky here.

(waves at Jill - I think we've spoken recently on another site?! )

Hi Teresa, if you have time to look at East Stoke records could you check for a Frances Patchett/Padgett in 1807/8? However, I stress the only if you have time bit! I know how long these things can take.

Frances was my 3x g grandmother and consistently gives her birthplace as East Stoke. Her age is also pretty consistent, 43 in 1851, 53 in 1861, 62 in 1871 and 73 in 1881.
You never know, you could help Jill and I connect here

Thanks for that Teresa. Our problem is that extracted records aren't on the IGI for East Stoke. Nor are they on the Notts FHS index

Not to worry, I'll ge there myself eventually!
