Cheshire / Re: The Mystery of Martha Palin (b 23/4/1882 Minshull Vernon, Cheshire)

Hi. Just found this.  The Oakes family connected to St Chad's- would they include Ralph, born probably around 1700 or a bit earlier (guesswork for now), and his daughter Hannah, baptised at St Chad Oct 1729?  Who went onto marry John Ford in 1751?  John Ford is a direct ancestor of my husband.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Worksop burial 1914 look up request

Hi
I wonder if anyone could help me find where my gt gt grandmother was buried please?  Her name is Annie Hunt and she died on 5 Jan 1914 in Worksop, where she was staying with her daughter.  We think she was almost certainly buried in Worksop too as she was no longer living with my gt gt grandfather, and nothing is showing in Leicester's burials.
I've looked in all the usual online places (ancestry, FindMyPast, freereg2) with no luck.

Ah yes, it would have helped if I'd included the Old in my google search!  Thank you :-)
These locations are helpjng me to confirm that a gt x 3 uncle of mine was transported to Van Diemen's Land for continual petty thefts.  The fact that his mum was a widow and struggling to feed a large family (she had to put at least one in the workhouse) was no doubt seen as immaterial :-/

Google maps said that was Devonshire Road, so I wasn't sure if it was the same?
And maybe I am missing it, but I couldn't see where on the link the road actually was?  Sorry to be a pain!

It was Wrights, Leicester, 1887-88, page 268 of the contents list - link here if you want it :) http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p16445coll4/id/278599/rec/18
It is under the listings for boot manufacturers and reads:
Hunt & Tebbet (w.ch), 7 Lower Free Lane.
