Hi I am looking for any info on my great, great grandmother Naomi Powlson Rees, she was born in March 1863 in Belper, Derbyshire. I have had a look on the 1871 census, but can't find her. I have only just discovered her in the last couple of days, hence no other information. She married my great great grandfather John Lewis in Nantwich in 1881. I know they had the following children, Victor A Lewis 1882, John Thomas Lewis 1884, Ethel M Lewis 1887, Cyril G Lewis 1889. John Thomas was my great grand father. Thanx for taking the time to read this and good luck with your searches. Lynn

Hi Suz, I want to say a big thankyou and send a big hug :-*, you have found so much and so quickly. Best wishes, Lynn

Hi Suz, thankyou for all your help, you wouldn't believe the stuff I have now, I even found my great great grandfather Lewis living near his future wife. i don't know what made me look to see who else was living in the Street, but I did and found him and his family. I have never done that before, but now I have, I am going to keep doing it. I have printed loads and sent it to my cousin too. She wanted me to thank you too for all your help. You have been amazing. We are both sending the biggest hug ever for you. Lynn & Doreen. xxx

it's a pleasure- I usually look to see who "neighbours" are on the census - very often families lived close together
Glad your research is progressing so well
Regards

Hi Scouse_mouse
I'm a decendant of Stephen Powlson, born in All Saints, Derbyshire, c1908 and married Mary, living in Hazlewood Derbyshire. One of their Children was Naomi, but born in c1840. Could this be Naomi Powlson Rees' Mother? Another of their children was Stephen born 1842 in Duffield
Would be interested to hear more of what you know and see if our trees link together. Mine is in detail on Ancestry.com.....
-
Did Stephen and Mary have a daughter Emma, born about 1830? If so, then we are linked, she was my 3rd great grandmother. Lynn

I have got back to 1808 with Stephen and Mary. I have had a break over the Christmas and now you have put me back on track lol, thanx. As I am in Liverpool it makes my research a little harder and fully depend on the net. I am hoping in the summer to get up to Derbyshire and have a scout around. Lynn
-
I need to thank one special lady Suz, without your help Jim and I may never of connected. You are a star, I can't wait to tell my cousin Doreen. Biggest huggles ever, Lynn xx :)
-
there is a marriage on IGI of a Stephen Poulson to mary smith -but it is a member submitted record and about 10 years too early
You may find something at matlock - and mary was b Ilkeston so may be omething there.
Noticed the eldest child was b Duffield -wonder if the marriage took place there - there was time when the vicar of Duffield was very "generous" with who he married - out of the parish -and Duffield was a kind of "gretna Green" for people from the Ilkeston/Heanor area
I usually go to matlock every couple of weeks -but at the moment am retricted due to family illness.
If you don't get into matlock, Jim, let me know -a friend of mine goes every few weeks.
Glad you have connected - and thanks for the generous thank you

Hi Lyn
Hi
I didn't manage to get into matlock today. However, I did find the following link/reference to Stephen Powlson chirstening, definately correct as we know he was born in All Saints, Derby around 1908:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=500013698215&lds=1®ion=2®ionfriendly=British+Isles&frompage=99
It appears that his mum and Dad were called Stephen Poulson and Mary too! but prob need to see actual record which is at Lichfield records office!
