Nottinghamshire / Re: Unfortunate Surnames
« on: Sunday 11 September 11 19:33 BST (UK) »Those are all very good ones, (note for Redroger ....almost as much as the recent footie results). Daft is a pretty common nane in Notts.....I don't know about elsewhere. There was a boy at my school named Douglas Daft.....I don't know if people have changed that name now.
When I was working in Nottm, we had a customer with the surname of Fischbein (German for fish leg) I only had contact with him by letter, so I don't know if he was German or of German origin
No, my family have retained the surname Daft....proud of it! We live in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire but the family originally came from Hickling, Notts. There have been Daft's in Gloucestershire since at least the 1600's!!

Forgot to say Ozeb...yes, I am aware of our famous Professor ancestor, the pdf publication was fascinating! My father remembers his grandmother Emma talking about hre nephew Thomas Edward...there is definitely a family resemblance too!! Interestingly enough, my father is a chartered engineer and has degrees in maths and physics...must run in the family

Hello Ozeb, sorry I haven't been on the forum for a while now so have only just read your last post.
I haven't looked into whether or not Isaac and Sarah had any further children but one of Thomas's children was named Henry as well so it is quite feasible that he named one of his son's after his brother! I was aware that Isaac's father was also an Isaac, married to a Mary. I need to find out my Allibone family history again as I have been working on another family line in recent months.......would you be interested in any info or have you carried out a lot of research since tour last posting? Let me know Ozeb, I can email anything to you.
Hello Dee, I haven't carried any research out on the Allibone family before Isaac so I would be interested in anything you may have please.
Regards,
Evie

Thomas Allibone was my G-G Grandfather who was born at 11, Hungerford Street, Cheltenham on 23 My 1839. He became a master joiner and lived at 68, St Georges Place, Cheltenham; his father Isaac Allibone lived there prior. He married Mary Ann Burge on 2 January 1862, who died following the birth of my G Grandmother Emma Allibone, the youngest of 10 children. Thomas remarried Mary Ann Powell on 17 May 1879, but remained in St George Place until his death on 12 April 1907. Emma married into the Daft family who were market gardeners in Cheltenham. Thomas's father Isaac Allibone was born in January 1815 in Grandborough, Warwickshire; he moved to Cheltenham, residing at 'Shurdington Cottage', Shurdington Road and married Sarah Pursey in Cheltenham on 9 July 1838, initially residing at 11, Hungerford Street, Cheltenham. He is listed in 1850-59 Slaters Commercial Directory living at 68, St Georges Place as a carpenter/joiner/builder and then moved to 47, West Cottage, Gloucester Road, St Marks, Cheltenham, just across the road from the Daft family, where he died on 30 January 1878. I have further information and photographs of Thomas's family should anyone be interested.
