Title: NFHS Journal request
Post by: Ruth on Sunday 28 August 22 15:51 BST (UK)

Does anyone have the Nottinghamshire Family History Society journal Vol.7 No.7 (Apr 1993)? I'd love to get a copy of an article on pages 34-35 about the death of James Blagg of East Markham and I can't locate a copy of the journal.

Many thanks if you're able to help.

Only a thought - have you asked NFHS for help?  :-\

Hi BumbleB - I had thought about that, but they don't sell old copies of the journal in their online shop and don't particularly encourage enquiries on their website, so I thought I try helpful Rootschatters first.

And thanks jonw65. That's where I saw the information about the Blagg article and I had the burial information, thanks. I hadn't seen the death notice though. I was planning to try to track all descendants as he's a common DNA ancestor via a mystery ancestor of mine - so the 65 children and grandchildren info is a bit of a blow!!

There are baptisms of 12 children at East Markham for a James Blagg and wife Mary, he is listed as a weaver. (NFHS) Do you have these?

Thanks larkspur.  I have those and I've just pieced together the 14 children of his eldest son too - a prolific bunch!

hi,

Nottingham archives used to have copies of NFHS Journals not sure if they still do and I'm going there tomorrow so will have a look for you.


also found a James Blagg aged over 21yrs, bachelor, a Horse Dealer of East Markham and Hannah Snell marry at St Giles Church Elkesley, maybe the son of your James Blagg in case you don't have it.

Iam pretty sure I have seen Blagg s in the East Markham churchyard. Will go and have a look. Iam away at the moment.

Hi nottsgirl1.  Thank you so much for the offer but no need now. Another kind member of this wonderful forum has kindly sent me through a copy today. Now to work out which line of descent ends with me! And yes, that James does look like one of the children, especially with that occupation - although there are some music masters and a parish clerk as well as the horse dealers.

And thank you again larkspur. I've seen a photo of a whole line of quite short gravestones of the family on Ancestry, but it's not really possible to read them. If you are passing that way, a close up of James Blagg's (d.1819) stone in particular would be very welcome - but please don't go out of your way :)
