Hi
I am trying to find Stephen Nott bn ard 1781 in Kidderminster. I can find him on the census up to 1861, but am trying to find his birth or marriage. His wife (Alice) is from Woolwich, so thier marriage may not be in Kidderminster.
Anything you could find would be FABULOUS!
thanks

Hi,
I can see a Stephen NOTT born 1781, Kidderminster in the 1851 census for Tynemouth, Northumberland but his wife Alice is born Longhorsley, Northumberland ???
If this is the right couple then perhaps this is their marriage from the IGI,
Stephen NOTT
Spouse: Alice JOHNSON
Marriage: 30 MAR 1807 All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland
Regards
Daisy

Shazzi_b,
He enlisted with The Royal Marines at Woolwich. He is an ancestor of mine. Did you find what you were after?

Hi Davso
Yes - I did, although I haven’t got too much further than his father Joseph bn 1737. Stephen was my 5th great grandfather. Have you managed to find much more about his father or mother? I thought I’d found Joseph, but the Joseph I had found died without issue, so I’m at a bit of a dead end at the moment!
Thanks

He is my 4th Great Grandfather, down a succession of three more Stephens then down the female side of the family. His obituary in May 1864 says that in his youth and prime he served George III on board men of war in the Great French War and in the piping times of peace he settled down in Shields and for many years remained an old and esteemed inhabitant of the town.
I had seen elsewhere his parents shown as Joseph (b.1744) and Elizabeth Tudor (b 1742) but I haven't seen anything to support that.
If you managed to get any documentation it would be great to see. Thanks

My line goes down through his daughter Alice, then a few Stephens - he was obviously esteemed in the family for so many people to be named after him. I haven’t seen his obit - where did you find it?
I tentatively had Joseph and Elizabeth as possible parents, but haven’t found anything other than a record on familysearch to back this up.

A Joseph Nott and Elizabeth Tudor married on 24 September 1764 in Kidderminster, who seem the likely parents of Stephen.
The full obituary for Stephen is below: Newcastle Chronicle, 28 May 1864
Death of a Veteran
On Sunday evening the Rev. Mr. M'Kechnie preached an eloquent funeral sermon in the Primitive Methodist Chapel, North Shields, to a large congregation, with a view to improve the death of Mr. Stephen NOTT, one of the fathers of the Primitive denomination in North Shields. Mr. NOTT died at the patriarchal age of 84; in his youth and prime he served George 111 on board man-of-war in the great French war; and in the piping times of peace he settled down in Shields, and for many years remained an old and esteemed inhabitant of the town. Primitive Methodism had its origin amongst poor toiling men. By the zeal of its early founders it has been developed into the great power that it is now in the religious life of England. Mr. NOTT was one of those who bore the burden and heat of the day; and happily he lived to see the denomination large in numbers, greatly increased in wealth and position with a rising and educated ministry, and a noble career before it; the Primitive being amongst the healthiest and most active churches in the land.

Thanks for that - he was obviously a well regarded member of the community. Do you by any chance know where he was buried?
-
Sorry shazzi_b, haven't got burial details, yet!

Hi,
Wondering if you got any further with researching Joseph Nott possibly1737 to 1811. I've been down a few dead ends with this.
Thanks
