The Millner family fron Biggin

[spendlove]

Hi Owen ap Anglesey,

1851 Census
The Transcription of this states
Frances Molner
age 62 born 1789
Born Etton, Derbyshire


However if you look at the actual census sheet it states:-

Francis Millner
born  Elton, Derbyshire

As you are queering the place of birth, the L in Elton has a loop and the T in Elton does not.

Thank you Spendlove

I finally accept that my Francis Millner was indeed born 1790 in Elton.
My interest in the Millner family finally forced me to drive to the record office in Matlock two days ago - where the parish records unravelled considerable information. Wisteria16 was correct in the suggestion that my Francis was the son of Benjamin Millner and Hannah Buxton from Elton.  From this information I may well have traced the family back to 1650.

I also traced his first marriage in 1812 to Mary Dain. Still work to do - because I suspect that Francis re-married at least once more if not twice.

For those of you who live in Derbyshire - I found your Record Office very efficiently run.

My thanks to everyone

Hi,
I believe we have a link with Francis Millner of Elton.  Francis had a daughter called Thirza who is my husbands great-great grandmother.  It would be great to compare family trees if you'd be happy to confer.

Hi
I have two Francis Millner's on our family tree. I assume you are referring to the one born 1790 in Elton and died 1868 in Biggin. My records show that he married twice.
His first wife Mary Dane gave birth to four children and his second wife Mary Chatterton gave birth to a further eight children.
Unfortunately I have no record of a daughter called Thirza.
Do you have Thirza's birth details ?

Hi

1851 census Elton has a Thirza born abt 1857 dau of Francis and Hannah Millner.

This Francis was born abt 1815 Elton,  Thirza marries 1877 William Oldfield

Thanks for your quick response.
I am seeking the Francis Millner (sometimes Milner) born Elton, 1815-1906 married to Hannah Stone.  I suspect that the earlier one in Biggin is likely to be a relative though. 
Thirza Millner is one of their children born 1856-1904.

Thanks Spendlove.  I have seen the census records you've mentioned thanks.  I'm also aware that they lost 4 of the daughters aged in their 30's between 1864-1871. Does anyone know if that would be down to influenza or tb??
