« on: Friday 27 November 09 10:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi i went a walk round this Cemetary in  September and took some photos of outstanding grave stones ,(monuments) its not going to be easy  because its quite full ,   there is paths to walk on but  not among the graves ,
It would make it easier if  you knew they had a grave stone ,    and which section ,

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: William Thomas Dickenson c1769-1828

hi, Pauline , and others  my ancestor who was a dyer was a William Lambert , born 1818   in every census bar one he is in the poor part of nottingham the narrow marsh, , his occupation is a  dyer of lace , the  bar one is  in 1871 when he is a news agent in Drury lane, the following census he is back as a dyer .

 Ive followed it through and it is the same William  , so reading what you said about dyers working an apprentice  made me wonder if he was on a good wage .And if so why he was in the narrow marsh .

 Ive not followed him back further than the ancestry site, which is  1841,  so would not know whether his father was a dyer also

hi pauline , ive been reading  through this thred and found it most interesting , not the Dickinsons of my family as they came from Arnold .

However  reading about the occupation of dyer,one on my lambert side of the family  was a silk and lace dyer all his life and on his death cert  it says   master dyer , would he had served an apprentership or learned on the job ?
