Title: Alfreton parish records
Post by: lindsmw on Monday 02 May 11 19:08 BST (UK)

If anyone is able, I need a look up for birth and death records for Charles Naylor, b. 1801, d. 1862. I'd most like to find out his parents' names.

Also, Charles' son, Samuel, b. 16 Mar 1834, d. 17 Nov. 1861. He died fairly young, and I'm hoping that there is some record of the circumstances or cause of death. He worked in the iron mines, and I wonder if that had something to do with it.

Thanks in advance!

Lindsey

To find out the cause of death you will need to purchase his death certificate.  The same for his son,  if it was accidental  it may be recorded in a newspaper/journal  somewhere.

Charles Naylor Sept.q  1862  Belper 7b-244

Samuel Naylor Dec q. 1861 Mansfield  7b - 36

Hi Lindsey.

Welcome to Rootschat

I have checked the Alfreton transcript which is on CD, but there is nothing for any of those names.

Hi

I did  find his marriage- Charles Naylor to Alice Allen in 1828, Alice died in 1855 3qtr in Belper.  Found them on the 1841 census in Alfreton. 
Charles aged 35,  Alice (misspelt as Alles) 30, George 10, Ann 9, Samuel 5, Joseph 3, Charles 1.
Just wondered if you knew why they were called Nailor/Naylor? This was because of the mines in the Belper area and the iron extracted. They made nails and in end of 1800's there were 500 naylors workshops in the town. 
I think unless someone can look at the records in Derby you might be better off getting a death certificate as mentioned.
Saying all that this could be your Charles but it does need checking out
Charles Naylor born 1801 of Alfreton, death 23rd Aug 1862 , Birchwood, Somercoates. Burial Riddings, Derbyshire.
Wife Alice Allen married 17th March 1828 Alfreton

Parents Joseph Naylor and Mary Machin

Sandymc, this is fantastic! I did have the information you mentioned that came from the 1841 census. As far as the surname, though, I always just assumed it was one of those names that came from a medieval profession. Though that makes sense if the family retained the same profession for the previous 400 years or so.

Thank you very much!
