Yorkshire (West Riding) / Clipstone Road Attercliffe Sheffield
« on: Saturday 19 September 20 16:53 BST (UK)  »
I have Robert IBBERSON  1826-1897 and his wife  Sarah nee HADLEY 1829-1897, living at 67 Clipstone Road Attercliffe in 1881 census, but I can't find them in the 1891 census. I have looked at all the possible houses in Clipstone Road as shown in Find My Past with no success. I know both Robert and Sarah died in 1897 at 67 Clipstone Road so assume that they were living there in 1891. Does anyone have any idea where I can find the records. Thanks

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Collins family Hannington
« on: Sunday 20 December 09 15:50 GMT (UK)  »
 :)

I have two questions one general where do I find good info about Northamptonshire ? Especially BMD for Hannington and Wellingborough I have tried Genuki to no success, any ideas?

I am having problems trying to find out about Thomas Henry Cave Collins bap according to "free reg" 4 sep 1853 to Hannah Collins spinster in Hannington. Same source she has another son Joseph Neal Collins baptised 26 Mar 1848.

I beleive she is the daughter of Thomas Collins of Hannington b26 jan 1803 and Mary Neal of Broughton b 1804 both of Northamptonshire. They marry in 1827 in Broughton.

The Collins family seem quite large and remain close to each other.
In 1841 I understand from the census that there is a Hannah Collins living in Queen Street Hannington, she is a lace maker, with her parents. Then in 1851 there is a Hannah Collins living as a servant in Wilby.


I can't find a definite record of Joseph Neal again other than the parish registers whereas Thomas H goes on to marry Druscilla Langley in 1879 and having 10 children.  I can't find the birth of Thomas to send off for his birth cert only the registers. I wondered if perhaps Henry Cave was the father of Thomas


Any help would be gratefully received in finding info about 2*gt gd father

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Harker Street Skelton
« on: Thursday 10 December 09 21:52 GMT (UK)  »

Can any one help me and tell me whereabouts Harker Street is in relation to a modern map. Joseph Codd b1831 in Lincoln lived at 11 Harker Street in 1881. I must admit I am interested becaues in 1981 we moved to Back Lane Skelton and lived in what was a miners cottage Joseph is my husbands relation and he was an ironstone miner. We used to walk down the road to where the ld mines were without ever knowing we were possibly following the route of an ancestor. We nolonger live in Skelton but I must admit I did like the community spirit when we were there unlike now.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Jane Sheldon school mistress Eyam
« on: Sunday 06 December 09 18:04 GMT (UK)  »

Hi one and all
I have two questions. Can any one help I can't find anything about the Sheldon family from Curbar. My 4 * gt gd mother was Jane Sheldon and according to the 1851 census she was born in 1781 from Curbar. I haven't managed to find anything about this family.

My second question still comes as a consequence of the 1851 census her occupation is listed as school mistress. Which school could this be I assume it was in Eyam as she is shown as living in Townend Eyam?

Hope some one can help
Helene
