There's a Jemima Wood on 1841 in Nottingham b c1808. She works in the lace trade Has George aged 13 with her.

Looks like she dies in 1845

Thanks Mabel - yes I think that is my Jemima although the age of George is slightly out - trying to find out why she was connected with Willoughby

Long shot but maybe this could be her on family search  ???
(based on childs birth in 1831 less possible age of mother (15) gives a rough DoB of 1816)

Name   Jemima Ellen Wood
Sex   Female
Father's Name   James Wood
Mother's Name   Sarah (Edit possible Mmn Brown)
Event Type   Christening
Event Date   10 Oct 1816
Event Place   Ingoldsby, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom

Edit

Distance from Willoughby on the Wolds to Ingoldsby is roughly 36 miles (Goggle maps)

Thanks gc1 - think that could be a long shot - but thank you for looking

Nottinghamshire / Jemima Wood - Willoughby on the Wolds
« on: Monday 11 August 25 19:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I'm trying to make a connection with the Jemima Wood mentioned below and Willoughby on the Wolds. Is anyone able to make any suggestions please. I've drawn a blank - there's a birth record for a Jemima Wood which ties in but that's a birth in Nottingham. I've assumed from the below that Jemima was born in Willoughby but I can't find any other connection - thanks in advance                   

Bastardy Order – Male Child born in 1831
Easter Quarter Sessions of 1831:
4th April 1831

Recognizances

Thomas Joynes of Narrow Marsh and John Smith of New Radford both Lace manufacturers for the appearance of Thomas Joynes at this sessions to answer the parish of Willoughby for Jemima Wood’s bastard child to abide order etc

Order

A Male Bastard Child was born on the 10th May 1831 chargeable to the Parish of Willoughby of the body of Jemima Wood of Willoughby single woman of the same place. An application was made by the Churchwardens, and the Overseers of the Poor of Willoughby parish, and upon the examination of Jemima Wood, it was adjudged that Thomas Joynes of Nottingham, Lace Manufacturer, be the putative father. Thomas Joynes was ordered to pay to the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor of Willoughby parish £1 5s (lying in for Jemima Wood), £1 2s (apprehending Thomas Joynes and obtaining the order), and 2s per week to Willoughby parish as long as the child is chargeable to Willoughby. Jemima Wood to pay Willoughby parish 6d per week.

NOTE:      Thomas Joynes of Narrow Marsh died in 1831 and was buried at Nottingham St Nicholas on the 22nd July 1831, aged 57 years.

Hi All - I'm trying to find the family headstone for Thomas Russell - he is a recent addition to the CWGC website and he was due to get a new CWGC headstone but instead they have advised he is mentioned on the family headstone. Can anyone help me with a map of the Cemetery please / location or inscription - thanks very much. Here's the CWGC infohttps://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/casualty-details/75467837/thomas-russell/

Thanks everyone - looks like it has been solved by Nottsgirl1

Hi again,

Right just thought of Carlton Hill Cemetery which records are on line though Gedling Council web site and just checked and think I have found him.
Carlton Hill Cemetery
Alfred George Cooper 29 Sept 1916 Section A J4 Grave 51,

you will need to get in touch with the Cemetery department at Gedling Council for more details.

Thanks for everyone's help and input

Only a thought.  There is another address in the NOK area, not very readable - c/o Mrs Marks (?) Flawford (?) Cottage Fl..something - which seems to supersede the Nottingham address?  Hardly the clearest of clues but may indicate where the widow was if not Nottingham?

MaxD

Probably to be filed under chocolate teapots. :)

There is a village called Flawford near Ruddington, Nottinghamshire.  The 1911 shows 2 addresses called "Flawford Cottages" Ruddington.  The surnames of the people there at that time are Crosland and Crosby, but there may have been different occupants by 1916.  Alfred's wife's maiden name was Elsie M Martin - so not her family. 

Could the "Mrs. Marks" on the NOK be Mrs. Martin?


Thanks Jool - I'll need to contact the Church at Ruddington as they don't have anything online beyond 1900. Another avenue to explore - thanks

Using SEAX, at the Essex Record Office
ONLY C of E churches records are on line
Not at Kirby le Soken

Walton le Soken at the ERO ends at March 1914, the parish may still have the subsequent register

Walton on Naze did not have a C of E church

Thorpe le Soken burials stop at 1887. You would have to ask the Essex Record Office if the parish has another register, or the current Clerk of the parish.

Colchester, all churches associated with the barracks begin after WWI.
The majority of the churches stopped burials 1875 through 1895. St Giles stopped 1909.
Not found at St Paul or St. Michael.

Looking as athough he was returned to Nottingham.

Thanks very much for this. My actions from this are to write to the Churches at Kirby le Soken, Walton le Soken and Thorpe le Soken I think.  I've taken a good look at Nottingham possibilities previously but drawn a blank - but will have another try.
