If you look at FreeReg there were Armstrongs in Mansfield in the early 1700s.

Nottinghamshire / Re: Benjamin Armstrong born Mansfield Query

Bob There were stone quarries in Mansfield for hundreds of years.
I see in 1841 they were living on Chesterfield Road, there was a quarry there, it was behind the Pheasant Inn ( I used to play in it as a child. )

What I mean is with this 'new' ethnicity when I click on North East England it shows paternal side 3% maternal side 0%.
Underneath it shows matches, they are all from my maternal side, on fact all from my mother's fathers family.

Well I have traced them back to the late 1700s with no sign of them leaving Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire.
Also why are the matches shown all my maternal side?

I have now got 3% North East England this shows it is on my paternal side, who as far as I know never ventured further north than the Watford Gap. Further problem is the matches it shows are all on my maternal side.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Lily Fitzgerald born 3 Sep 1901 Southwell
« on: Saturday 20 September 25 14:10 BST (UK) »I wonder if this is relevant
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C8085721
Description:
Divorce Court File: 9575. Appellant: Arthur Webster. Respondent: Lily Webster. Co-respondent: Christopher Fitzgerald. Type: Husband's petition for divorce [hd].
Lily Kirk possibly married Arthur Webster Dec qtr 1922 Wisbech RD
That divorce document is dated 1936,
The earliest birth Fitzgerald mmn Kirk I can see is Winifred I in 1928, so she was saying as far back as that time she was married to Christopher Fitzgerald but obviously she wasn't.

Although the 1939 register shows Southwell RDC the family were actually living in the village of Sutton on Trent, a distance from Southwell itself.

Stefan I am old enough to have parked my car in that car park many times, I worked on Regent Street.
I am afraid Clumber Street is desolate these days, Wilkos being empty has made a huge difference.
Mind you there is still the Stag and Pheasant
I often think about Lurchills when I see it when I drive down St Johns Street and on to Clumber Street. I don't know if you can walk along it still or whether it's blocked off at the end.
