Title: Kirk
Post by: Numberonedriver on Monday 19 August 19 23:04 BST (UK)

Hi all.. I would love to hear from anyone that's traced the Kirk
name from Nottinghamshire.. Arnold more specifically, I believe a Samuel Kirk was born in about 1847 to a Cornelius Kirk...

Welcome to Rootschat

Have you checked the Surname Interests Board to see if somebody has an interest?  Link at bottom of this page under Your Tools

Hello, welcome to RC.

There are 3 baptisms listed at St Mary, Arnold, for children of Cornelius and Amelia Kirk:
9 Sept 1843 Samuel
29 Aug 1847 James and Eliza.

One in Gedling for Cornelius and Emilia:
Henry 21 Nov 1852 (abode Carlton)

Cornelius listed as FWK (framework knitter) for all.

Several more children at Oxton to a Cornelius Kirk and Elizabeth between 1826 - 1836 - could this be a previous marriage? Or a different family altogether?

There are 3 marriages that could fit with these births:
1. Cornelius Kirk + Eizabeth Glover, Oxton, 16 May 1826
2. CK +Amelia Wibberley, at Sneinton, 27 Dec 1840
3. CK + Amelia Aslin, at Gedling, 8 Aug 1844

Possible deaths that might be part of this puzzle:
Elizabeth Kirk age 31, Oxton, 4 Feb 1837
Emily Kirk age 62, Gedling, (abode Carlton), 30 Nov 1877

No baptism on my Notts disc for Cornelius. Was he born in the county?

I've found Cornelius - spelled differently - bapt in Oxton, 17 July 1806 parents William and Hannah. There were 7 other children bapt in Oxton to this couple.

OP, perhaps you could ask a mod to merge the two threads.
