Derbyshire / Bullock Street
« on: Sunday 15 October 23 08:37 BST (UK)  »
George Bullock, born 1827, married Esther Street at St. Peter’s Church in Stapenhill, Derbyshire in 1865.  They had both been widowed.
I would appreciate any information relating to Esther’s ancestry.  She was born in either 1829 or 1831, probably in Newhall, Derbyshire, and I have seen suggestions of a line containing someone called True Sharlot, a very unusual name.
Do these names mean anything to anyone?

Derbyshire / Re: Isaac Redfern

I am grateful for this further detail.  It begins to fill in a few gaps in my tree.

The German whose father was Isaac, has the right birthdate, so I know he is in my line.

I reckon that Isaac's wife was Anna Wheldon, who he married in Chesterfield on 17.2.1673.  Her father's name was Hugonis Wheldon.

Besides the Isaac born to Abraham and Mary in 1661, Family Search has an Isaac born in 1664 in Ashover to George Redfern, no mother listed, but you have offered reasons for that.

I have a clear history going back from me and my immediate ancestors in South Derbyshire, gradually moving north.   The only sticking point is which Isaac is in my line.  You clearly favour the 1661 Isaac, but while I know there is another, I am not certain.   Any information that might clarify this would be important to the search.

I shall follow the Ashover dispute and hope you find something about wills.

Another curiosity you might wish to delve into:  The German born in 1707 had a son, also called German, born 1739 in Stanley, my 4 greats grandfather.  I have seen his gravestone in Stanley churchyard and it is quite special, and probably very expensive.   Bearing in mind that most of my ancestors were ag. labs who moved into mining, moving south with work opportunities, an expensive gravestone does not fit.  I surmise that German was a successful farmer in his time, but I don't know if there are any Stanley records which might confirm that.

I am grateful for your help.  many thanks

Derbyshire / Isaac Redfern
« on: Tuesday 19 February 19 08:58 GMT (UK)  »
German Redfern was christened in Morton, Derbyshire on 29th October 1707. He later married Sarah Newam. His father was called Isaac, but I cannot find any further reference to Isaac - except that there were two Isaac Redferns born in Ashover, one in 1661 and another in 1664 to different parents.
I should be glad to hear of any information of a link between Isaac and German that can take my family further back.

You can find William Redfern, German's brother, at

Note the link between the Swinnerton and Redfern families. 

John S married Sarah R

William R married Mary S

Joseph S was a witness at the marriage of German R

Sorry, I got that wrong.  It was German's father Isaac who was buried in 1720

Thanks, I have that.  It looks as if the Gorman was a misprint.

This German Redfern was christened on 29.10.1707 in Morton and buried on 3.9.1720 also in Morton.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.  That pushes his birthdate back two years before what I had thought, but matches the Denby link with his brother.  Perhaps the Gorman name for his father should be German as well.

My four times great grand father German Redfern, a farmer, was born in 1741 and married in Stanley, Derbyshire in 1769 to Mary Buckland of Dale Abbey, just down the road.
I think that William Redfern of Denby was his brother, so German may also have been born in Denby.
Does anyone have any knowledge of German Redfern's parents?
