Title: Ticknall Parish Records, WHEELDON
Post by: Ivybridge on Friday 22 September 06 10:54 BST (UK)

Hi,

I would like to trace the parents of James WHEELDON born circa 1824 in Ticknall. I would also like to know when he was born and if he was christened.

James married Hannah SNAPE in Castle Donington on 8 Jun 1845 and they appear in the 1851 census. I have a copy of the marriage certificate but, unfortunately, their fathers names are completely undecipherable.

Hannah died in 1856 and James subsequently married Sarah BIRCH.

Can anyone help?

David

Hi David

The IGI covers Ticknall for the relevant period (batch no. C059001) but James doesn't seem to be listed.

You say you have a copy of his marriage certificate but the fathers' names are illegible. I suggest you have a look at the actual parish register - with any luck the original details will have been clearly recorded.

And if James married twice, haven't you seen his second marriage certificate?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the advice. I am descended from his first wife Hannah and had only a passing interest in his second marriage so have not sent for a marriage certificate. As I live in Devon, it might be the best option to obtain a certificate.

Regards

David

Hello again,

I have found the IGI record for James and Sarah's wedding which states James's fathers name as John WHEELDON. Could someone take a look at the 1841 census to see if there are any likely suspects?

Hello,

Had a look on 1841 and loads of possibles for John Wheeldon.  Using dob 1800 + or - 10 years (???) came up with 13 John's living in Derbyshire, none showing Ticknell. 
(Couldn't be that easy, could it??) :D

It might come down to John's occupation as that's the only thing that varies.  Also, not knowing the area doesn't help, but can anyone spot anything in the following?:


Parish                                   born                                       Occupation

Bakewell                              1796                                       Ag Lab
Dalbury and Lees                  1805                                       Shoe Maker
Edlaston                              1796                                       Ag Lab
Hognaston                           1801                                       Blacksmith
Kniveton                              1801                                       Blacksmith

Youlgreave                           1794                                      Lead Miner
Etwall                                  1791                                       Farmer
St Alkmund                           1791                                      Cotton Spinner (?)
Ashbourne                            1811                                      Ag Lab
Darley                                  1811                                      Flax Dresser
Duffield                                1811                                     Joiner (?)

Any help??

Sally

Hi Sally,

Ticknall is very close to the Leicestershire border. James married a woman from Hemington close to Castle Donington and married in Castle Donington. So could it be that he appears in the census for Leicestershire?

Thanks for looking  :)
