ok.
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Hi ,
To me it looks like the village of Smalley near Heanor , it may have been spelt different or a mistake made in the spelling.
This happened to me for a village I was researching.
Good luck
Paul

Thank you Paul for another good suggestion ~ I think at this rate I will be putting all suggestions in a hat and pull one out?  Only joking, it has to be right or a well calculated guess.

Many thanks once again everyone.
Best wishes
Shirley

Hi Shirley,

I think you'll be guessing at this for ever. Best is to work on Elizabeth's marriage and baptism.  Litchfield or Matlock archives (records office) offices, write to family history societies and social studies libraries around the areas where you think see was born/bapt. Lichfield Bishops transcipts has some south derbyshire. BumbleB ( put Archbell in search to find her on rootschat.) is the person to contact on these archives.

Least you will be on the right road to finding something also have a sniff round Derbyshire resources (Websites)on the home pag Rootschat websites .

If IGI have an Elizabeth marriage then the witnesses names may hold clues!! though limited on other info but one never knows.


Goods luck

Dobby
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Hi Dobby

Yes you are right of course, as two of their children were born in Arley, Warwickshire, I have been to Birmingham Record Office to look for a marriage around the beginning of the century as John Frost Jnr was born 1807 and Mary Frost in 1811.

I will follow your suggestions, I am very grateful for your advice and expertise.
Many thanks

Hi Shirley

 I would go for these records or Bishops Transcipts at Lichfield archives.

Bishops Transcripts
Contemporary copies of the registers of parishes in the present diocese of Lichfield, c1660 to c1880, with north and east Warwickshire parishes to c1840 and Derbyshire parishes to c1860.


http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/leisure/archives/LichfieldRecordOffice/LichfieldSources/

Also try Nuneaton FHS

Matlock (Derbyshire) record office is the place though.

Derby local studies library I would also write to or email.

Though these web sites. Hugh Wallis & LDS IGI are good

These are a few but there are many more.

Bmsgh web site (maybe a website similar in Derbyshire) for Bir/War/Staffs charge about £4 for 3 look ups but you get the best there is and found my Grans marriage 1803 Merevale near Atherstone Wars. thus is worth paying a little long term . ie;- Time- Petrol /Busfare.

the places above are the core of the apple.

Well I should not be here (as Doctor)  :-[

I know Noffing ******* 8)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
