The Common Room / Re: Finding an Aunt

A Patricia COWARD died in Newport district in 1998. Probate with Will. Date of birth 18 November 1931
Pretty sure this will be a red herring as I have a Patricia Coward born November 1931, died 1998 Monmouthshire. I knew her and from the information you have they are definitely not the same person.

The Lighter Side / Re: Rather obsessed!
« on: Thursday 06 March 25 13:54 GMT (UK) »
Book plates in old books are my downfall. I love to build up a background of the person who owned it before. Not always possible if just a name but books that were given as prizes in local Sunday Schools &c in Victorian & Edwardian times are usually easy to trace.
Also the recipients of old postcards.
How much time have I wasted........

Europe / Spanish death certificates
« on: Saturday 26 October 24 13:02 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help - If one wanted a death certificate for a British citizen who was living in and died in Spain around 2010 how would you go about it?
Thanks

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Another Nottingham Marriage

Hello again Mark.
If you respond to this message you will have posted 3 messages and I will then be able to privately message you - so that my long rambling messages don't have to be on general view!
I don't know where my John Barret was born. I know he was at Cambridge, then in the East Midlands. He was ordained at Wymeswold, was then at St. Mary's, Nottingham before being ejected and moving out to Sandiacre. I haven't yet read his will but in Calamy Revisited by Matthews (an account of ejected ministers) the only family mentioned are his wife and his descendants whom I already knew about. Apparently John wrote a memoir of his son, Joseph, which I one day hope to locate and read as it may have a clue about where the family came from.
I agree there is a possibility that my John Barret is related to the Barret family at Thoroton but I don't have any evidence to back this. He could of course come from a different part of the country entirely and have moved to the East Midlands for his work.
Do you know anything about the religious beliefs of your Barrets? Or anything about the people they mixed with?

Hello,
I haven't looked at this side of the family for some time. I'm descended from John Barret, 1671-1713. He was the Minister of St. Peter's, Nottingham before he was ejected. You can find his biography in The Dictionary of National Biography which you can find on line. He's in the out of print editions so you can read his entry for free.
His son, Joseph, is my direct ancestor. Elizabeth, who married Mr Coates, was John's daughter, Joseph's brother.
I will dig out my stuff and PM you.
Hope this helps
