Title: Mallard and Leach and sparrow Grubb Duston and surrounding
Post by: phill55 on Friday 13 August 10 19:44 BST (UK)
Having researched the mallard side and now traced over 90 descendents l seem to have got stuck with the leach side l can find my grandfather in 1911 and my great grandfather in the same year . Its seems he came from London and l get stuck before 1901 l Know he was born in 1881 . but between these years there seems to be a gap l  would love some help please to plug this gap if possible


Also l would love to work out whether James leach residing with the rance family in 1911 is related to james leach as the address's are close by and we have always assumed he had a brother

l now have a new one
Thomas mallard married 1853    he married either mary ann herne     or a mary ann billing (billington)
once again any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks to all concerned who have helped trace the mallard side which links into many other surnames griffiths, minor, hern, tresler,beal (so far)

Welcome to Rootschat!

Can you give some more details regarding names of your MALLARD family in Duston.  There are quite a few of them in that parish on the 1881 census - if you can confirm names, then I can try tracing them backwards/forwards.

Title: Re: Mallard and Leach Duston
Post by: mgeneas on Sunday 15 August 10 19:54 BST (UK)
I suggest you get a copy of his birth certificate, this will tell you his parents names, including his mother's maiden name.

Then I can probably connect them to the family tree.

Hi Phil.

Welcome from me also.  :)

I think one family to keep in mind is Robert Leach who married Annie Elizabeth Taylor in 1903.

The 1911 Census is free to view here http://www.1911census.co.uk/

In the 1928 directory they are living in Ruskin Road.

Hi Phil.

Having found the marriage of Henry W Mallard to Anne Minor 1878
I think the lineage is now going down on the maternal line.

Harry Mallard Minor was born in Daventry District
(covers Welton)  in the Sep Qtr of 1878.

It seems as though Henry W Mallard  is accepted as being the father.

I think maybe getting some proof might help.

Hi Phill.

Although the Northamptonshire Record Office have records
for St Crispins there is a 100 year restriction.

Have you any idea when John/James died.

I can not see a burial at Duston or elsewhere.

Could he have been cremated.

Sandy

Post by: phill55 on Wednesday 18 August 10 17:50 BST (UK)
hi
we think he died in the late 1960's to early 1970's  as my grandad used to visit him regulary . we might have even met him when we were children but neither my brother or myself can remember. its been a family secret for many years that we knew nothing about as you say he may have been cremated all we know is that he was my grandads brother .

Phil are you sure he didn't change his name around.

There is a Charles Sparrow in Far Cotton in Abbey Road on the 1901.

He is also noted as Charles John Sparrow elsewhere.

I have a 1928 directory for the Town, I will see if I can find him in it.

hi   
First off yes fred golby l remember him as a child he used to go drinking with my dad occasionally . he did have quite a few off my family photos . my auntie vera was a great collector of pictures etc, 
and my uncle charlie was indeed john charles sparrow   . as far as l know he did live in blisworth a set of cottages on the left hand side as on the bend as you drive in to the village from northampton.

l will see if my brother or auntie has a death certificate for him.

l only know that  my auntie and him  brought my father up and they always lived on welford road  a large house on the  left hand side. l  also remember being told that my auntie was one iof the very first women to hold a driving licence (l shall not go into women driver etc!!!!)

Hi Phil.

I used to see Fred at Upton Church on Heritage Days, gosh we
are nearly at this years.

And I also lived in Welford Road as a child, the building was called
"Highfield House" children's home which got burnt down in later years.

From there we walked to Chris Sale's every Saturday with our sixpences
burning holes in our pockets.

For school we went to Chapel Brampton.

Then I also lived in a foster home in Kingsway until I was 13.

There is a Nellie Grubb arriving in London from Hobart in 1925.

It says

Wm C Grubb Born about 1844 Proposed residence in UK 135 Clare Street, Northampton, retired merchant
Nellie Grubb  Born about 1873, Rank or profession = DD (??)

Last permanent country of residence Tasmania.

I think he is William Coleman Grubb. Born in Shutlanger 1843.  Married Sarah Ann Parler in Hobart in 1868.  They had 4 children, one being Ellen (Nellie I assume) born in 1872.  She died in Queensland in 1940.   I googled William Coleman Grubb and found a Stoke Bruerne family website that said this family moved to Tasmania in 1860/1870 and that William came back for a visit in 1925, age 80 with his daughter Nellie.  So I think this is the one you are looking for.

So if you know who was living at 135 Clare Street in 1925 you might be able to work out the family connection??

Some of them haven't been here for some time, and email addresses do change, but hopefully you will get a response.

In the meantime, please do have a look at the site here - there are lots of helpful people and interesting topics, and if you have a query which you think we can help with, make a post yourself.
