Derbyshire Resources & Offers / Snelston Bishops Transcripts
« on: Thursday 29 November 18 05:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone, Given the extremely fragmented state of the Snelston PRs, I wonder if anyone has tried to look at the Bishops Transcripts. Are they in a similarly poor state and is it worth trying to use them instead ? I am especially interested in the 17th century. Are they available at DRO ? Any information would be helpful, Many thanks, Liz

Thankyou so much for that information! It puts me very clearly in the right place for my Edward Madeley. Pieces of the puzzle falling into place. I will see if I can find out a little more about it now.
Cheers,

Thanks so much Derek for your offer. My feeling is that they were farmers in the Doveridge Sudbury area but you never know. I think I should just be grateful I have been able to trace them this far, and I am thrilled to know they were from beautiful Derbyshire.
Best wishes,
Liz

It definitely says Mackley in the catalogue entry, also he is referred to in a will as of either Mackley or Markley, I can't decipher which. Maybe it is a local term for that parish?

Thanks so much for that offer Derek. I would be grateful for any Madeley information you might find from those early dates. I have seen a very difficult to read marriage bond for the Edward and Mary married in 1681. It does say that she is from Sudbury, but I cannot make out her surname. It's possible they settled there, or that she had at least her first child there. It is impossible for me to view the PR for Sudbury as they are not on any database and I live in Australia. Bit of a long way from Matlock! DRO has an index of documents which also mentions an Edward Madeley, yeoman, of Mackley. However, I have never heard of a town or parish with that name. It is perhaps a farm??
Thanks for your insight.
All the best,
Liz

Thankyou for that Derek. I believe that Edward who was christened in 1717 is the son of Edward and Joan (Harrison). I think that Edward the father is probably the son of Edward who married a Mary (surname unreadable), possibly in Sudbury 1681. I know that some transcriptions of Doveridge appear online but I have not seen any for Sudbury. I was hoping that the parish registers might provide a little more info about each Edward to differentiate. I know it's a long shot, but I have seen that done occasionally. However I am a very long way from Derbyshire so am unable to see the PR myself. Thanks again for the suggestions,
Liz

Derbyshire / Edward Madeley of Doveridge or Sudbury b. 1681
« on: Wednesday 03 August 16 05:29 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have access to the original parish records of Doveridge or Sudbury for the 1600s/1700s? I am trying to ascertain which Edward Madeley is mine as there were several, all farmers from the same area at the same time. My Edward was born in 1681 and was mentioned in his father's will of 1705. Edward senior also mentions "my now wife" Mary. Does this mean he was married before? Edward senior died in 1705 and Mary in 1723, though I have no specific date, maybe those entries in the register would help. No other children are named in the will. There are many Madeleys in the same area of this time. Any help to sort this tangle out would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Liz

Berwickshire / Re: Help sort out my Haliburtons - Coldstream 1715

Thank you Trish for the freereg suggestion, I will definitely take a look. Also thank you Emma for your kind offer to look at those documents for me some time. I am sure that JohnHaliburton and Isabel Sanderson are my family as GD1/191/6 in the catalogue clearly mentions Andrew Halyburton, eldest lawful son and heir of deceased John Halyburton. I did a search on Isobel and there are a few documents relevant to her also. It is strange however that I can't seem to find a marriage for them, or a baptism for Andrew,or his brother James (both apprenticed in London). The wider network of Haliburtons from Edinburgh through the Borders seem to have been forever acquiring and disposing of property and land either through inheritance or legal means, so I cannot assume Patrick is John's father as yet. It is a possibility. I will take a look at the other links you mentioned and see what turns up. They seem a very interesting family . Thank you once again to you both for your help and suggestions, I am filling in the gaps !
Best wishes,
Maggie
