Derbyshire / Re: Rowland/Roland - Huguenots in Duffield, Derbyshire
« on: Friday 09 March 12 18:41 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for your reply.  I admit my research is the I.G.I, but the same information given to me by another Roland in Devon, A. Vincent U.S.A and  Australia.  However,  the I.G.I are spot on with Abrahams birth/death and burial at Greasley.

I meant to say yesterday, Newthorpe and Eastwood is Nottinghamshire,  Greasley is just on the border with Derbyshire,  the cemetery situated on a hill overlooks Eastwood.


I have no evidence that Samuel was born at Shottle, another place, you blink, it's gone. But think I WILL go to the Nottingham Archives to see if I can find him.

My present day tree is in a definite line with William Roland born 1763 Shottle, Derby, his daughter  Sarah Roland, born 1789 Greasley, died 1863.

Sarah had a son Aaron 3/3/1813 ( Father unknown ) christened Aaron Roland,  she married a Samuel Straw who accepted Aaron.  He later became Aaron Straw.... in line with my gt Grandfather ( Straw )

I do have quite a few christening, births, deaths and marriage certificates on another side of the family.  But none on the above.

Should I be be looking for Samuel Roland born 30/1/1701 to Jacobi/Maria when I go to the Archives please ?

With regards,

Nina

But I do live in the area!  :o The Cemetery at Greasley Derbyshire has many Roland, Leivers and Paxton Gravestones. About 8 miles from where I live.

No , I don't have the christening paperwork of Daniel Roland. I could go to the Nottingham Archives who hold Derbyshire.

 Denby is a very small village where Denby Pottery is made to this day. Most of the records for the Derbyshire area are held at Matlock, Derbyshire.

Nottingham was  famous for it's lace industry for centuries. And famous for the Leivers Lace machines. These are exhibited in a museum at Wollaton Park Nottingham. I have spoken with an Historian who agrees the French emigrated to England seeking work during the lace slump, who knows !

If you send me your personal e-mail address I will send you the Roland Genealogy File, sent to me by one of the submitters on the IGI who is very well informed and in the same direct line.  Name Alan Vincent U.S.A , also a lady in Australia.

I have Samuel who married Sarah Briggs having died 8 years after their marriage, they produced one son William born 1763 - Shottle,  buried 21st June 1836 Greasley.Derbyshire

William married Amy Paxton Leivers 1787 Greasley Derby's they had 11 children  The 10th child - Abraham Rowland born 1805 ( Eastwood ) next village to Greasley is buried in the Greasley Cemetery 1875, I have seen the gravestone which is well preserved against the Church yard wall.

Newthorpe Common is about 2/3 miles before Eastwood.

I will send this link by page to Australia for further comments.

Hello, I cannot believe that you are enquiring about yours and my Ancestors in Duffield Derby's 1700's

I am in a direct line with Daniel Roland, born 1709 and William Roland that you have mentioned.

 I was led to believe that Daniel's Father ? Roland ( born 1685/6 ) in France  left there during the Lace Slump in the 1600's.   He then came to Duffiled Derby's for the lace industry here.

I live in Nottingham about 23 miles from Duffield.

I have a lot of information on the family tree, is there anything I can help you with?

With kind regards,

Nina
