Very nice thank you thank you... I am glad to make progress on this my Dad's first cousin that I tracked down in Scotland gave up due to lack of progress on the Whiteman line. I am glad I you responded to this.

Stuck on Thomas Whiteman (born 1811 Heanor, Derbyshire, England)

I also wanted to Find What my Thomas Whiteman's relation is to the other Thomas Whiteman that lived very near him.

Also does anyone know why a birth registry GRO would have a different spelling of a last name
for example
 my Grandfather George Leslie Whiteman official birth cert that I have has his kast name Whiteman on it where as on the GRO website catalogue it is spelled WEIGHTMAN

Name WEIGHTMAN, GEORGE  LESLIE  Mother's Maiden Surname: HARTLEY    GRO Reference: 1910  D Quarter in BELPER  Volume 07B  Page 644

His Aunt Eliza has her name at the GRO as being spelled WEIGHTMAN but all other documents it is Whiteman???

The informant may have been illiterate, and the registry cleric wrote the name as he heard, and thought it might be spelled.
The standardisation of spelling is a quite recent occurrence.

Elizabeth Whiteman 1839

Was she not born 1838?

Birth reg
WHITEMAN, BETSEY       
Mother's Maiden Surname: INGAR 
GRO Reference: 1838  S Quarter in BASFORD UNION COUNTIES OF NOTTINGHAM DERBY  Volume 15  Page 427

[floogy99]

Yes, my mistake, 1838

[Jason Jase]

I'm not related to

Birth reg
WHITEMAN, BETSEY       
Mother's Maiden Surname: INGAR
GRO Reference: 1838  S Quarter in BASFORD UNION COUNTIES OF NOTTINGHAM DERBY  Volume 15  Page 427

although Inger is the mother's Maiden name she is not a Child of the Thomas and Marry Ann Inger I am directly related to

[Jason Jase]

Ok, so I found Mary Ann Inger born 1812 Heanor, Derbyshire, England died 15 Mar 1887 Middlesex, England as Thomas Whiteman`s wife.
I am confident that her parents were Elizabeth Allen 1793 to Abt. 1838 Heanor, Derbyshire, England and James Inger born 1784 Heanor, Derbyshire, England died Abt. 1839 Negro Row, Heanor, Derbyshire, England

I have made zero movement on Thomas Whiteman born 1811 in Heanor, Derbyshire, England
Whiteman is my last name so being stuck on this only a few generations back is rather frustrating.

I am trying to find out who his parents where....

I know two Thomas Whiteman`s lived in the area both married Ann`s (Mary Ann Inger went by Ann) both died in 1863...

I had a funny thought that both were of these people where the same Thomas Whiteman`s (like he had two families) but that is not true
