Hi,
Is there anyone who has access to Grantham parish records that could do a marriage look-up for me please?
I have found a marriage record for a Rebecca Ward in the september quarter of 1887. I would like to know which of the men she married.
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Kelly. :)
-
Assuming she was the Rebecca WARD from Sheffield, I think she married Henry LOCKTON.
In 1891 she was visiting John L HUBBARD and family at 4 Bluegate, Grantham.
EDIT: Removed some stuff that was wrong ::)
-
Hi GeoffE,
Thank you for your help.
I have found that Rebecca on the 1891 census, but unfortunately I can't seem to find Rebeeca or Henry on the 1901 census.
I have found a Harry Lockton on the 1891 staying with a family in Yorkshire, but again I can't find him on the 1901 census.
Kelly. :)
-
Do you think she was the one who died in Sculcoates (Hull) in 1906, aged 41?
-
Hi GeoffE,
I think that it is very likely.
I haven't found another Rebecca Lockton on the census records, who was the same age .
I think that Rebecca and Henry had a daughter Emma, born Sheffield. Emma is still living with Hubbard family on the 1901 census. But I just can't seem to find Rebecca or Henry (Harry).
Kelly. :)
-
Can you spot Harry's mother (Martha) in 1891? She didn't die till 1893.
Ah, she's still keeping house for George WRIGHT and indexed as Wartha.
-
Hi GeoffE,
Yes Martha (or Wartha ::)) is still with George Wright.
I have tried to find Rebecca by just searching the 1901 using her first name only, but I can't seem to find anything obvious. :(
-
Emma (daughter) was born in 1890, so should be somewhere in 1891 - perhaps with her dad?
Births Sep 1890
LOCKTON Emma Sheffield 9c 511
EDIT: Oh, she's the one with Rebecca ... age is 10 *months*. I must try and keep up with things ;D
-
Hi GeoffE,
Yes Emma is with Rebecca on the 1891 census. Henry is on the 1891 census as Harry Lockton.
I've tried searching the 1901 for Harry, using just first name. But I can't find nothing obvious. I can't understand why i can't find the. :(
-
Hi there,
I usually claim any Locktons in Grantham, on the ground that they are usually mine ;D
I don't have this Henry in my database, though.
Charles Lockton married a Martha unknown, though. I have them in the 1861 census but she never appears again in any census after that. I wonder if she could be Henry's mother after she left her husband. In the 1861 census the Locktons were living next door to a family of Wrights???
I addition, I do know that plenty of Locktons from Grantham went to Australia. Worth a try? Can't seem to find any of these in the 1901. They could have all died, of course.
I'd love to find mnore!
Locktons can be found on http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tiber/

Charles Lockton married a Martha unknown,
Perhaps ...
Marriages Jun 1851
Gore Ann Grantham 14 662
Lancaster Hannah Grantham 14 662
Lane John Grantham 14 662
LOCKTON Charles Grantham 14 662
Matkin John Shaw Hall Grantham 14 662
Sandall Isaac Grantham 14 662
WAUDBY Martha Grantham 14 662
Weatherall Elizabeth Grantham 14 662
It looks possible - Chas and Martha LOCKTON are next door to WAUDBYs in 1861.
EDIT: Ooh! Henry's middle name (at marriage) was Murr - the LOCKTONs were lodging with MURRs in 1861!
-
Hi Linda,
I think that Charles wife Martha is Henry (Harry's) mum. I can't be sure if Charles is Henry's father.
Martha is on the 1871 census with son Henry and she is listed as married.
On the 1891 (and i think 1881) census Martha is a housekeeper for George Wright.
I have found a possible death for Rebecca Lockton 1906 in Scucoates. I can't seem to find any more information about henry (harry).
I just can't understand why I can't find Rebecca on the 1901 census. She was Living in Lincolnshire on the 1891 census and she died 1906 Scunthorpe.
Kelly. :)
Edited to add: Thank you for the website Link Linda, i will go and have a look.
-
EDIT: Ooh! Henry's middle name (at marriage) was Murr - the LOCKTONs were lodging with MURRs in 1861!
Ooh! That looks intresting!
-
Can you point me in the directionof that census please.
Linda
-
On the 1891 census Henry Murr and family have a Ann Waudby living with them and her relation says Cousin!

According to Freereg: Charles Lockton married Martha Waudby 21 April 1851.
Grooms father: Robert Lockton (Yeoman)
Brides father: George Waudby (Builder)
The two witnesses were Robert catlin and Ellen Taylor.
Kelly. :)
-
Twins?
Births Mar 1866
LOCKTON Frances Grantham 7a 450
LOCKTON Harry M Grantham 7a 450
Was this Charles' passing?
Deaths Mar 1925
LOCKTON Charles 95 Grantham 7a 594
I wonder what the link with Sheffield was? A Charles LOCKTON (58 in 1871 in Grantham) was buried in Sheffield in late 1872 aged 60.
-
Ooh! I didn't notice the frances birth, that is intresting.
I've been wondering what the link with Sheffield is as well! Emma was born 1890 Sheffield but living in Lincs in 1891 with Rebecca. Harry was living in Yorkshire 1891!
-
That's it then. Martha (Waudby) Lockton ran off - or at least - had Henry with next door neighour Murr and left her hugband. And Emma too? Martha was the wife of my second cousin three times removed! Really, I'm sooo embarrassed about my relatives!!!! :-X
Seriously though...we have no right to judge. Who knows what happened there.
It just makes me laugh that we can find out all this stuff many years later. I can just imagine that they would be horrified if they knew!
Linda
-
Hi Linda,
On the 1891 census there is an Ann Waudby living with Henry Murr. Ann is listed as Henry's cousin. So the Murr's and Waudby's might be related somewhere along the line.
Unless your right and Martha did have a fling with the neighbour. :-\
-
Henry MURR married Harriett WAUDBY in 1855 (the couple the LOCKTONs were lodging with in 1861)
They were still together in 1901 and for some years after.
-
Ooh, well done Geoff,
So the Waudby, Locktons and Murr's were all related.
It looks like Harriet and Martha was sisters.
They are both on 1851 census with their dad George waudby. :)
-
I think perhaps Rebecca WARD appears in 1881 as age 12 born Beighton, dau of Luke and Emma.
-
I thought that Rebecca Ward may have been Thomas and Sarah ward's daughter.
On the 1871 census there is a Thomas and Sarah Ward with daughters Rebecca and Emma.
The reason I thought this was correct is because on the 1891 census Rebecca is Living with John and Emma Hubbard.
There is a marriage in 1878 for a Emma ward and John L Hubbard.
On the 1901 census Rebecca's daughter, Emma, is still with John and Emma and she is listed as Niece.
I will take a look at the census you have mentioned.
Kelly. :)
-
Yes of course. I forgot about the HUBBARD woman. ::)
-
It's easily done.
They do seem to be a complicated family. ::) :)
-
Hi Kelly
Charles Lockton died 29th Mar 1925 and lived at 64 Castlegate Grantham as per Grantham Journal obituries April 7th 1925.
I could look in electoral rolls to see who he lived with if this is any use.

Hi Kathy,
Thank you so much for finding Charles Locktons death record, it is truly appreciated.
If you don't mind checking the electoral rolls that would be a great help.
Thank you again for all of your help.

Hi Kelly,
This is as it is written in Grantham Journal dated 7th April 1925.
A WORTHY GRANTHAMIAN.-Born in the town,Mr Charles Lockton,fruiterer and greengrocer,Castlegate,who had reached the advanced age of 95yrs,died last Sunday.Thus there has passed from our midst one of the very few remaining links locally with nearly a hundred years ago.At the age of nine he went to work at Spittlegate Iron works,which he remembered being founded by the late Mr Richard Hornsby.Afterwards he became a butcher in Brewery hill,at which period stock markets and railways were unknown,and cattle had to be fetched direct from the farms,the journeys being made on foot when a vehicle was not available.Evevtually he entered the fruit and greengrocery business in Castlegate,where he has been for between sixty and seventy years.Mr Lockton's recollections of the remote days were always interesting to listen to,and he would frequently refer to them.Amongst other things he could remember was the Great Northern Railway being constructed,also the rejoicings at Belton House at the time of Queen Victorias coronation,and the burning of the hustings at the General Elections,on one of which occasions he was a special constable.For over fifty years he attended Stamford,Sleaford and Grantham markets,and also went to Hull each week.His father was a Crimean Veteran,and was also at the battle of Waterloo.Mr Lockton leaves two sons(one in America and one in Hull) and a daughter.Another son is dead.For several months Mr Lockton had been receiving medical attention,but he was ever an active man,and kept about practically until the end.His remains were laid to rest on Thursday.
Hope you find this interesting reading.

I will make a note of the information you have found today and have a look to see where they fit in. I think Frances (born 1835) and John Robert (1838) are Charles Lockton's brother and sister.
Thank you once again for all of your help.

Hi Kathy
Thank you for all the information you have found it is truly appreciated.
I'll make a note of all the names and info to find where they fit in. George R Lockton is Harry Lockton's brother. But I have information that George R lockton went to America. Unless he did and he came back again. ??? But the US census records match for Harry's brother.
They are quite a complicated family. I can't find no trace of Harry and Rebecca Lockton on the 1901. Rebecca died 1906 in Sculcoates. On her death cert it says she is the widow of Henry lockton, but the only death record I can find for a Harry/Henry Lockton is in 1942. The death in 1942 ties in with my Henry/harry's year of birth. ???
Unless it was Harry that went to the USA and he used his brothers name, but I can't really see that happening. ???
Thank you once again for all of the information you have found, it really is truly appreciated.
Kind regards
Kelly. :)

Thank you so much for the above website. Y0u have solved a mystery for me. My great aunts (who were Grantham MORLEYs (Triggs Yard,Watergate) took me (1950) to meet their 'cousin' Cissie LOCKTON who lived in an Almshouse, Brook St. I thought she was perhaps from Long Bennington where the Morleys came from, but I see ALICE Morley - Lockton in Grantham on the website, so this could be the connection, further back making them distant cousins. Perhaps Cissie is Cecilia? but have not found her on any Census. Anyhow thank you very much.

Hi Kelly
I went to a neighbours funeral today and whilst in the cemetary I called in the office and they gave me the following info.
Charles Lockton and his daughter are both in the same grave but no headstone.
Sarah Lockton was aged 80 and was buried 28/Jul/1937.
Will check in Electoral rolls later this week for people living with Charles.
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for the information concerning Sarah Lockton, it is truly appreciated.
The burials you found before for Robert and George Robert lockton are for a different George R Lockton to mine.
My George R lockton went to live in USA with his son Frank. The George R lockton burial you found is Robert lockton's son.
I am just trying to find where Robert lockton ties in with my lockton's.
Thank you again for all the information you have found for me, it really is truly appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Graham
Sarah A Lockton in 1951/2 as per electoral rolls lived at No 2 Dawsons Almhouses Brook Street
Kathy
Many thanks for this Kathy. This is definately where I went with my great-aunts though I did not know the person I met was Sarah. I suppose Cissie was a nick name. I had begun to think my memory played a trick and should be Lizzie for Cissie but now I think Cissie is what I heard. I noticed you had some school records of St Annes School. I was trying to locate these last year as my grandfather and his brothers Walter, (b1880) Herbert b.1882 and Arthur Kendall (b.1883) and two younger brothers Tankerville (yes that is the name) and Harold probably went to St Annes School, as my grandfather was born round the corner in Cecil St. However they did move to George Street and finally Cambridge Street.
If you could trace them especially Herbert in any school records I would be so pleased. (When you have the time of course.) Thank you.
-
Hi Graham
There are no St Annes school records in Grantham library.Incidentally I went to that school from 1946-1951/2 and the building is still there but is now used as an after school club and other small businesses and the exterior looks no different.They built a new school on Harrowby Road near by.
The library did!!!! have Spittlegate and Huntingtower Road school records on microfiche but they have gone walkies!!!!! ::) ::) ::)would you believe so I could not check them for any Kendall's .I did think that the children may have transferred their when they moved to George St and Cambridge St.Will keep a look out to see if the records reappear.

Many thanks for this information Kathy. They may have been at Spittlegate School, and possibly their father William Vincent Kendall, b1855, who lived with his parents, Joseph amd Charlotte at a pub in Wharf Road. In a Grantham Directory it seems to have been a 'beerhouse' or off licence, but I have no name for the pub. I think it unlikely they were at Huntingtower Rd School which I thinks was later, though my brother Brian H Whitehead was there briefly as an evacuee from Coventry in c. 1939/40 approx. Any help you can give much appreciated.
-
Hi Graham
I will try and find the pub name for you from directories.There were 4 pubs on Wharf Road from 1851-75 they were the Durham Ox,Musicians Arms,Nags Head and Hand & Heart.
Hope to find that the microfiche have turned up.

Many thanks Kathy. They would not be there in 1871 because in that Census they moved to Sprowston, Norwich for a while but then returned to Grantham by 1877 because that was when Wm V Kendall and Mary Ann Barlow married in Sleaford. Oddly Joseph Kendall is then described as dairyman. On their marriage in St Wulfram 1854 it gives Innkeeper for Joseph's occupation and Publican in 1855 Wm's birth.

Hi Graham
Does the names John Morley born 1830c and collapsed and died in 1851 whilst a railway worker? also a Mr Morley in 1865 being appointed Headmaster of Corby Grammar School and a Miss Morley schoolmistress at Little Ponton school in 1886?
mean anything to you if so there are write ups in the Grantham Journal as per info in"Grantham In News" 1851-1875 & 1876-1900 by John R Pinchbeck.

Thank you Kathy
However my great-grandfather David Morley bootmaker of Triggs Yard (next door to what was Moulds shoe shop [My grandmother was at school with Gertie Moulds]) came from Long Bennington and a brother and sister of my grandmother were born there.
There was an uncle on the railway who moved to Leeds. There was another Morley family in Wharf Road )a baker) so these you mention may be related to that family rather than my grandmothers. Depends where this John Morley (railway worker came from) but if the parents or wife are mentioned I might then know if they fit.
Best wishes

Many thanks Kathy. You are kind. The Morleys at Spittlegate school are not mine but I think belong to the baker in Wharf Road. They are too early as my Morleys came to Grantham in 1891 Census, and these are not the names,
George, Miriam, Lydia, Mary, Annie Withers, William, Richard, David and John are the names. I think the girls at least went to the National School, Castlegate. Harold Kendall is my great-Uncle. He was the youngest in family. Both families ended up in Cambridge St. Many thanks for all your efforts. I am out on a limb here in Gloucester.

John Kendall Beer Retailor St Peters Hill
? not Wharf Road.
Will check further next weekend.
Hope the info is usefull.
Kathy
JOSEPH KENDALL bridegroom in 1854 states Innkeeper on marriage cert.
1855 Post Office Directory Grantham gives: Joseph Kendall Beer retailer Wharf Rd.
This is why I wonder whether it was an off-licence not a pub. I have Michael Pointers book on Grantham pubs but of course it does not give publicans names.
Any other clues much appreciated. My great aunt Lydia married Alf Dawson, pork butcher with the shop opposite Rutland St on Wharf Road. Her step-son Ron Burnett had it till it closed when Rutland St disappeared. I often visited.

Hi Graham

Aunt Lydia had gas light and a cellar door directly opposite the front door. If the door was left open you might fall straight down the cellar steps. I remember when electricity was put in in 1947. She had been a Red Cross nurse in Grantham during the war and must have been well known. Her sister Miriam lived with her until her death in 1977. Lydia died 1970. Their brother George Morley lived in Stanton Street.

Thank you Kathy, you are so good doing research for so many of us.

Hi Graham
Have been in library on Wed. and today and had a look at both 1861 & 1871 census on microfilm for Kendall family on Wharf Road & checked especially the pubs and no trace!!! any ideas?
Kathy
-
Hello Kathy
In 1861 Joseph and Charlotte Kendall are with their son William aged 6 living at Back Street, Spittlegate, which is near Hornsbys and St Johns. His occupation is given as 'Groom', so links with 1851 when he is an Ostler, living in North Terrace (was this North Parade perhaps?) and Charlotte in service at Mount Pleasant with the widow of a Mr Wagstaffe, a vicar of St Wulframs.
In 1871 they are living just outside Norwich, which confirmed that Wm V Kendall was a chorister at Norwich Cathedral (I have photos.) They returned to Grantham by 1881 and were living at 6 Garden Cottages which I think is part of Welby St. However on Wm's birth certificate 1855 at Wharf Road (maybe they did not live there) Joseph is said to be beer retailer. On their marriage certificate 1854 at St Wulframs he is said to be Innkeeper, By then he was cowkeeper and finally milk business, and the cows were on Halls Hill according to my gt Uncle Tank. Perhaps it is not possible to find much more.
To make matters worse a Sarah Ann Clarke (née Kendall) is married to John Clarke at Durham Ox, 64 Wharf Rd, later of 33 Norton St and their son John Clarke was best man at my grandad Kendall's wedding 1906 and always said to be his cousin. (could have been second cousin perhaps).

Hello Kathy
Could you see whether a Walter Gibson Kendall, son of Joseph & Charlotte, was baptised at St Wulfram please? Born 1 Oct 1856. (Died Jan 1860.) This may give us an address. Also is William Vincent baptised there born 6th Jan1855?
Thank you
Graham

Hi Graham
I will see what I can find out on Saturday.

Hi Graham
Have checked St wulframs and St Johns parish records today and these are the ones I found but there were no addresses :( :(.

Could not find Walter Gibson Kendalls baptism.Incidentally St Johns (Spittlegate) is on the same reel as Somerby.
Kathy
-
Thank you once more Kathy for your diligent research. Most interesting that Joseph Kendall is shown as Trade Moulder, though in Trade Directory he is Beer Retailer. So this is my gt-grandfather's baptism, and my great-uncle who was a boy soldier and served in India (Arthur Edwin). Strange my grandad's not there. I would expect St Wulfram's Herbert Wm Kendall b. 13 March 1882, and his elder brother Walter Vincent Kendall b 1880 New Somerby.
Mystery about where in Wharf Road or Back Street was the beerhouse.
Trade Moulder makes me think it could be Hornsbys in 1854.
Best wishes
Graham
-
Hi Graham
I will have another look on Sat.for Walter Gibson/Walter Vincent and Herbert William Kendalls Baptisms.
I think you could be right about Joseph working at Hornsbys as a moulder its a bit different to a beer retailer but they did change jobs a lot in those days so anything is possible.
Kathy

Sorry my mistake.

Hi Graham,
First of all Graham I could not find Walter Gibson Kendall's birth or burial in either St Wulframs or St Johns parish records BUT I did find the following.
St Johns parish records Reel 893 Sect.1/1 Page 78
18/Nov/1855
George Kendall Parents John George & Mary Kendall Abode Norton St,Trade Mechanic.
St Johns Parish records Reel 893 Sect 1/4
Page 43 12/Jul/1882
Walter Vincent Kendall Parents William Vincent & Mary Ann Kendall Abode 13 Cecil Street Trade Clerk
Page 44 12/Jul/1882
Herbert William Kendall Abode 13 Cecil Street Trade Clerk.
I checked on the 1861 census for Back Street as I had never heard of it before but found it on RG9/2351 Folio 83-94 Pages 1-26 which is where Joseph/Charlotte and William Kendall was living.At the beginning of the census the enumerator had written.Part of London Road commencing at Blue Horse Inn/Back Street both sides/Bridge End Road/Toll Bar each side/Witham Place/Spittlegate Cottages/Boyle's Farm & Johnsons House.I could only remember Inner Street between the Blue Horse Inn and Bridge End Road so I checked with our local historian Malcolm Knapp and he confirmed that it was the old name of Inner Street.(Which incidentally that is where my Granddad and my dad and my husbands as well lived in the early 90s).
and Graham Garden Cottages was in the Welby Street area between Hands Yard Welby street and Stanton Street.
Cheers
Kathy

Many thanks Kathy for all your research. I have no idea who these Norton St Kendalls could be unless it is the John Kendall the publican's son maybe,
I will look on the Census next week to see if he George has a sister Sarah, who was the mother to be of Jack Clarke. Norton St. I also found a Charlotte Kendall born in Grantham who had a fancy goods shop in Wharf Rd, but I never seemed to find out who she was.
Anway thanks again

Thank you Kathy for these entries. The Kendalls are definately mine but the Morleys not. I knew there had been a girl born to Wm Vincent and Mary Ann but did not know the name. I had been told by Tankerville that twin girls (his sisters) were thrown from a trap. Perhaps one survived to be baptised but they did not live. Very good of you Kathy.

Many thanks for these Kathy. I take it the first one is Veronica Kendall.
However at the moment I can only see that Kate Frances and Walter Gibson Kendall are definately mine. The others may be cousins. I visited Grantham cemetery myself some years back and got many of the grave positions. Alas there were no memorial stones that I could find though I might have expected one at least. The Oxford Road Thomas and Harriet were the only Kendalls I could find with a memorial stone. Also thanks for gt Uncle Harold's baptism at St Wulfram. He was the youngest child. He came to the house in Coventry when my grandmother Mary Kendall died and shocked us all as he was a spit image of her dead husband. Great to have this information.

Hi Ianmarkh,
This thread was started by me asking for help with my Locktons.
It would be better if you make a thread of your own, you are then more likely to receive help.
If you go to the Lincolnshire board Click on NEW Topic, you can then start your own thread asking for help.
Kind regards
Kelly. :)

Thanks for your help.

Hi Folks,
I am new to this site. If anyone out there has access to Grantham Parish records, could they please be able to do a search to see if they can find any record for an Elizabeth Hall who was born in Grantham, Lincolnshire approximately 1804-1806. She is recorded in the 1851, 61, 71 census records as being born between 1804 and 1806 (varying ages in census). She was married in St Annes, Soho in 1825 to a John Langlois.
Any assistance would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks
Michael Langlois
-
Hi mlanglois, welcome to RootsChat :)
The IGI has these baptisms
http://tinyurl.com/36svh7a
http://tinyurl.com/2u9vw2s
Do her children's name provide any hints?
-
Hi Michael langlois Welcome to a Great site.
I will look in Parish records in Grantham library on Saturday and see if I can find any info.Unless someone else comes up with the answer before then.
Kathy
-
Hi Kathy,
Someone did respond the other day with advice re 2 separate Halls, Elizabeth and Eliza that were born around 1804/1803 respectively in Grantham and these records were on familysearch.com.
I guess I just have to work out which Hall it may have been. I have been checking the siblings names via the familysearch site with respect to the same parents etc.
The IGI on Familysearch has a father's name for both, however not a mother's surname. I think it could be the one named Elizabeth Hall born in 1804 whose parents were Robert Hall and Sarah. They also had other siblings including a William. Elizabeth Hall who married John Langlois in St Annes Soho named one of her children Sarah and another William, but then again they were common names.
Please don't go out of your way just for me, unless you were particularly going to the Grantham Library for other reasons.
Regards and thank you for your response

Hi Michael,
Does the witnesses on marriage cert give any clues?.I am going in the library on Saturday as usual so no problem looking info up for you.
Kathy
-
Hi again Kathy,
The marriage certificate which is on ancestry.com under marriage banns indicates the witnesses were James and June Thomson.
According to familysearch.com Robert Hall and Sarah had 5 children. Mary born on 24/4/1801; William born 6/9/02; Elizabeth born 13/11/03; Eleanor born 25/3/05 and Robert born 18/3/06) who died on 25/12/11).
All were born in Grantham. I managed to find Sarah in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census records where she is shown living with her daughter Eleanor (Moulding in 1841) then Claar in 1856 and 1861. I found a Mary Hall who married a John Beckett on 29/4/24 in Grantham, however have not been able to find any census record for them. I can't find a William Hall from Grantham in a census record as yet.
What I know of Elizabeth Hall is that she is aged 37 in the 1841 census (a widow) employed as a Heating light maker with children John 15, Catherine 13 and William 9. In the 1851 census she is aged 45 (same occupation) with children John 24 and William 19. In the 1861 census she is aged 58 (a night light maker) with grandson John aged 6. In the 1871 census she is aged 67 (same occupation) with grandson John. So with all these census records it puts her birthdate somewhere between 1803 and 1806. She was recorded as being born in Grantham in all census records. She died in 1872.
She married John Langlois at St Annes Soho 26/12/1826. Quite a big decision for a young girl to make the move to London at a reasonably early age, as I believe John Langlois was born in the London area. According to the marriage record they were both from the parish of St Anne's Soho, so who knows when she moved there.
The only other person born in Grantham around this time was an Eliza Hall who was born in 1803. I can only presume it is actually Elizabeth and not Eliza, but there is nothing concrete which locks it in. I will keep plugging away.
Regards and thanks for your e-mail. If you find anything interesting please let me know.
Regards

Hi Michael,
I hope you are sitting down when you read this message as you have hit the JACKPOT in regards to the Peter Claar & Eleanor Moulding connection as my husband is descended from Peter & Eleanor's son William b.1849.
Peter Claar married Eleanor Moulding (neeHall) 3/July/1845 Bottesford her fathers name was Robert Hall.
They had 3 children.Eleanor 1847.John Henry 1848 & William 1849.
My connection is through William born 1849.
William born 1849 married Elizabeth Deacon (b 1851 d.1875)on 23/June/1873 St Johns Church Grantham.
They had 1 child William born 1874.
William(b 1849) 2nd wife was Elizabeth Bembridge on 6/August/1876 St Johns Church Grantham.
They had 15!!!!children.
William born 1874 married Ada Louisa Pearson on 11/June 1899 St Johns Church Grantham.
They had 7 children including Florence Annie born 1901.
Florence Annie married Edward Rose on 13/April/1932 St Johns Church Grantham.They were my husband Johns parents.
I have not gone down Eleanor Moulding(neeHalls)family so did not realise the connection to you until you mentioned the surname Moulding and then Peter Claar.
I will send you a PM with my email address and can swap info with you.
Regards
Kathy

If your Grantham born Clark family originate from Willoughby-on -the Wolds, Notts, please get in touch. My Grantham Clarks lived and married in Spittlegate, Grantham. Best wishes
-
Thanks Graham, I am not sure exactly where this Clark originated beyond it being in Grantham about 1841.
All the time I thought I was looking for a George W. Meadows, but it turns out that GW was born as a Clark and took the name of the Stepfather(Henry Meadows) when the mother remarried.
The family moved to Australia in 1848 via Liverpool, so no further records would exist of them in the UK beyond that year.
-
Many thanks for the info Micklm. Will let you know if I find anything that might help.
