I had an ancestor in Victorian Leicester who had done an apprenticeship as a wheelwright but who was often, as an adult, listed as carpenter.

The Lighter Side / Re: Unusual First Names

Re Curry - I've found a few Bacons, including an Avery Bacon Brooks (a distant great-aunt) and there are no other incidences of the name Bacon anywhere in my tree, so who knows how a little girl got it as a middle name.
On a modern note, my little granddaughter was playing with a group of children over the weekend which included a Juniper and a Zephyr.

It's helpful if you can give as much info as you have, as it saves us searching for stuff that you already know.
I can see Samuel (Bowler) and Mary (Burn) marriage cert online; Nov 6 1873, at the parish church of Eccles, Lancs.
I can see a large number of Boler children with mmn Byrne subsequently born in the Salford district, and I can see that the first two (Alice, 1873/4 and James, 1875/6) were baptised with the father's name as Samuel. I can't see any other infant baptisms until Herbert (1889) in which the father's name is given as John Boler. Do you have birth certificates for any of the other children? How do you know that the marriage broke up around the time that you state and for the reason that you give?
Given that the last positive siting of Samuel Boler was in Leicester, I've checked the main municipal graveyards serving the town centre (Welford Rd and Gilroes), and he's not there under the name of Boler, Bowler or Bouler. Neither is he in the Leic workhouse records.
I see that he was listed as James in the 1861 census, when he was with his parents; what other instances of his using this name have you come across and how can you be sure that it's the same man, if it's a different name?
Is there any more info that you've got that might be useful?

The 1852 Samuel is in Leicester in 1891; he says he's married, but there's no wife to be seen on the census. Is this your man?

How sure are you of the 1853 birthdate?
The only baptism I can see is this one, a year earlier, which gives another possible middle name for Samuel
1852 07 08
Samuel Sadler Boler
Father John BOLER (farmer)
Mother Anne
Abode High Oakham
Church MANSFIELD St Peter and St Paul
Alternatively there's also an 1858 birth for a Samuel Sadler in the Mansfield region, but no baptism for this one on my disc.
When and where did Samuel marry, and under what name?

I think you'd be far better putting this in one of the main boards (beginners, or common room), as it is a general question and there will be more traffic there.
If you then want help re family in Notts we can do our best!
(I've tried alerting the mods to ask them to move this for you but keep getting timed out so haven't been successful yet)

Nottinghamshire / Re: Looking for the right Elizabeth Wright c1770 Please
« on: Monday 21 July 25 17:15 BST (UK) »Well found Annie that fills a gap between births.
The tree I found follows Benjamin that married in 1842 to Mary Taylor but he has father as Thomas on marriage cert.
I cannot see anymore into for the one you found.
William b 1801, married Elizabeth Chamberlain.
Tazzie
I can't find Benjamin on any marriage records or censuses. I wonder if this burial is his:
1814 07 27 Benjamin FLINDERS age 9 Sneinton SNEINTON St Stephen

Sadly he dies before the target Elizabeth Wright is even born, never mind before any potnetial marriages, so it doesn't give any clues about his further descendants. But it will certainly be a useful resource if this does turn out to be the right family!

« on: Monday 21 July 25 16:09 BST (UK) »if 1770 is correct then Edward and Elizabeth look like the parents. Any wills available for Edward?
Possible burials, perhaps?
Info from FreeReg
22 January 1776, St Mary
Elisabeth Wright, wife of Edward, Chandlers Lane
https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/670e99eab18f7cb0ab00d674
10 February 1777, St. Mary
(Mr) Edward Wright, Chandlers Lane
https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/671bcb64b18f7cc6640f8c04
If them it would have left daughter Elizabeth orphaned at a young age
The will of Edward Wright is available on Ancestry; this one was a maltster and leaves bequests to his daughters Mary Peake and Elizabeth Brown. So probably not this Edward, his children were far too young to be married by 1777.
