I'd say Arthur Samuel Salisbury (or possibly Salsbury) and Harriett Marriot

Nottinghamshire / Re: Edward Smedley and Jemima Hodgett?
« on: Thursday 12 August 10 14:20 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I've beaten Sunflower to it! I was in the Record Office at lunchtime and had a quick look at the marriage register for you - it shows that on 24 December 1850 Edward Smedley, Full age, Bachelor, Labourer, of Wysall, father John Hodgett, Labourer, married Jemima Hodgett, Full age, Spinster, of Wysall, father William Smedley, Labourer.
Edward signed the register, Jemima marked. Witnesses were George Winfield (who marked) and Sarah Garner (who signed).
(The fathers' names have obviously been transposed, but they agree with the info you have below, so Edward was the son of William, not Edward).
Hope this helps.

Derbyshire / Re: Ada Kenyon missing relative
« on: Wednesday 28 July 10 14:21 BST (UK) »
Jopeg,
Don't know if you've already seen them, but the Genuki page for South Anston, in West Yorkshire, includes a transcription of the parish's BMD registers.
According to that, Ada was baptised on 6 October 1872, the daughter of George and Keziah Kenyon, George being a collier. So it looks like the census age is the right one.

Derbyshire / Re: Brimington parish records
« on: Wednesday 28 July 10 11:16 BST (UK) »
I don't know if your CD says when the earlier records (which haven't survived) dated from, but it may not be that far back. The Lichfield Record Office guide says that they have the bishop's transcripts for Brimington from 1800, so there may not be too many years missing from the registers (although there are gaps in many of the BT series, I wouldn't think that, say, a hundred years' worth of BTs had gone missing - it's usually single copies covering 3-5 years that are missing from longer runs). I suppose you'll just need to check the St Mary & All Saints (Chesterfield) registers and see if your ancestors appear.

Derbyshire / Re: Lee Family Pinxton Derbyshire
« on: Friday 14 May 10 22:08 BST (UK) »
Carol,
Apologies, but I may have unintentionally misled you here. My earlier post was based on notes I made about 15 years ago (essentially my transcription of the Pinxton parish registers relating to "Lee"). I have notes of the baptisms of Isabel Lee (7 March 1656/7), d. Bartholomew Lee and Francis Lee (20 August 1659), s. Bartholomew Lee. At the side of the latter I've written "pos. Francis Lee, s of Bartholomew Lee & Isobel, b Pinxton 6 Aug 1659". Unfortunately, this was not long after I first started researching my family tree, and my note-taking wasn't as thorough as it is now, so I don't know for sure where that info came from.
I think, though, that this note might have been my subsequent search on the IGI fiche for Derbyshire, because on checking I've just found the same info on Family Search. That's member submitted information, and so I've no idea how accurate it is or where it came from (given that the parish registers only give baptism dates at that time the submitter might have just assumed a two-week period between birth and baptism, but where "Isobel" comes from, I don't know). My notes don't have an actual marriage for Batholomew the elder.
(Isobel Lee the younger didn't live very long, as "Isabel Lee d Bartholomew Lee" was buried on 13 March 1658/9).
Sorry about this - a good reminder to check my info before posting.

Hi,
I'm also descended from the Lee family - Bartholomew (b. 1634/5) is my 10xgreat grandfather. He was indeed married to an Isabel and they had (at least) 2 children, Isabel and Francis.
You say that Bartholomew was born about 3 March 1633 - where did you get that date from? It's a long time since I looked at this branch of my family, but my notes suggest that "Bartholomew Lee & Millisant Lee, Twynes Bartholomew Lee" were baptised 12 March 1634/5.

Derbyshire / Re: Birkhallam?

Could well be that the enumerator couldn't read the householder's handwriting! Never heard of Birkhallam, but there's a Kirkhallam just outside Ilkeston - could this be the right place?

Derbyshire / Re: Abbott/Slack/Clarke
« on: Friday 23 October 09 20:12 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
I was intereted to see this thread, as I'm descended from John Clarke and Hannah Slack.
I'm making slow, but steady, progress with the Clarkes in Codnor, but there's obviously a slight dead-end with Hannah being illegitimate. Since all of this was posted, have any of you come across any evidence to suggest that Hannah Slack's father was Gervase Pepperday, marrying the mother of his child after the event, or do you think it's more likely that Hannah's real father was just an unknown local?
