Nottinghamshire / Re: Location of "George Inn Yard", Clarborough in 1870/1, or before...

I've heard of some other woman visited by an angel who told her she would be with child - nice to think I could've evolved from such a union.

I found lots of Thomas Rileys in Nottinghamshire, maybe Jane shared one of them with her friends? She didn't get to travel far from East Retford, going by the census notes, apart from being born in Ireland, of course.......allegedly.

I'll send you a pdf of the RILEY/FELLS certificate if you need one. I'd delayed buying it but then found a price increase was due in April so decided it was essential(!) and I've shared it with a few other cousins.

Eyam - very sad place, one of my friends was a warden at the youth hostel there about 12 years ago. I wonder what kind of life that Mrs Riley lived after losing everyone......

As for yards behind pubs, my DAINES family lived at the Staff of Life yard in Norwich in 1841. That public house was licensed to a Sarah DAYNES. Strange coincidence, they were allegedly not related.

Back to the 21st century now......

Hello again,
Yes, we are related by marriage, their wedding was 5 days before Christmas so hopefully a jolly time. I've noticed some of my Notts folk seemed fond of marrying their siblings-in-law, so we may find other people in common!
 
The Rileys lived in Clarborough, East Retford. Another researcher (Diane? I can't find her now) had a copy of my great-grandmother Mary Ann's marriage cert from 1857 with the bride's father listed as Thomas Riley, jeweller, dead - but D also suggests elsewhere that he died in April 1860(?) He seems to be away for this census, they had two more sons by 1851.

Hello,
Your chat came up in the search results when I wanted more info about my ancestor Jane RILEY. I've just bought a copy of her 1859 marriage certificate (to Mr FELLS), as there doesn't seem to be any hope of finding evidence of her first marriage.
I now know her father's name was William SEAMAN. This is progress after trying to find out about Jane born in Ireland in 1808!

In the 1841 census I have two branches of family, my maternal grandmother's grandmothers (RILEY & HAGUE) & their children on opposite corners of the same page. Two of those women later died in Retford Union workhouse, I must come from very uncaring stock.
