Still on the hunt for photographs of Grace Darby

Do have a photograph of Norah and John Thomas Darby Grave and The date you have for John Thomas Darby should be 1944 not 1943.

Please still look for information about Norah Adeline Darby's son.

Will email you some photos soon.

1       England (Counties as in 1851-1901) / Leicestershire / Re: Lucy DARBY       on: Sunday 31 December 06 19:03 GMT (UK)
Arthur Darby b 1860 was the son of William Darby b1814 (Barrow on Soar) and Louisa b 1826 (Countesthorpe, Leicester).  He was one of five children:
Charles b 1869
Edwin b 1864
Ellen b 1866
Walter b 1862

Charles was my husband's grandfather.
Willam and Louisa are buried in the Trinity Church graveyard in Barrow in Soar.  I would be grateful for any help to find the parents of William.



This is a quote from a previous single post.
I am unable to PM this chatter!

MY grandmother was the daughter of
Charles Darby + Ada E b.1867 Huddersfield

Her name was Edith born 1895-1949. (she married Valentine Gardner/ lived Horsforth Yorks)

Do you know anything about Ada's unmarried name
How many children they had . . . anything really
Occupations?
Would be grateful

Hello Jean,
Well I did some searching for you and I did find out a bit about Charles wife. Her unmarried name was SHAW.
ADA ELIZA SHAW she married CHARLES dec qtr 1893 vol 9a page 443, I found this information on freebmd.
I also found out that ARTHUR DARBY born 1860 was born in peatling leicestershire, WALTER was born in oadby,leicestershire, EDWIN the same place, ELLEN was born in leicester and CHARLES in barrow upon soar.I found this information at www.leicestershirevillages.com/barrowuponsoar if you don't know this site it has alot of info. When you go their click on the right hand side on VILLAGE HISTORY then click on FAMILY HISTORY you will see alot of info their to search.I will try and see if I can find anything else for you and let you know.

Thanks very much I found that site you mentioned, but I was unable to use it as I don't have Excel on my Mac Laptop!!! and no PC access out here in the bush! (I am in Australia at the moment)I didn't know that the E stood for Eliza either so Thanks again. The strange thing is my granddaughter has now got ancestors on both sides of her family tree from Barrow on Soar. On my husbands side they moved to Long Buckby in Northampton (Canal connects) and were mostly shoemakers.
My mum and Dad met in WW2 in foreign parts and got married in Italy, much to my grandmother (dads side) distaste. I was very surprised to find out the huge number of relatives in Yorkshire/Leicestershire/The world that I never met or even heard about. My mum's mum died when I was 2. Her and her sisters all had son's die young too.
Finding out about you relatives is a heart-wrenching business isn't it. There has been some sad stuff. But it is pathologically interesting. My daughter is gathering information for studies in the genetic path of some illnesses. But we have found ourselves path-blocked on lots of occassions by adoptions and a lot of infant mortality around the turn of the century.

I have a Joseph Darby B abt 1819 in Belton, Leicestershire.  He married a Martha Merriman on 8 April 1844 in St Margaret's Church, Leicester.  In the 1851 census they were in Groby, Leics with their children William, Sarah, John and Edwin.  Is he in your tree?? 

All I have about Joseph is from the marriage certificate - his father was John Darby.  I think Joseph died in 1854 and have a GRO ref. for that but no certificate.  Martha re-married in 1866. 

My Merrimans were largely around NW Leicestershire - the same stamping ground as the Darbys

I am wondering if anyone can help me with yet another mystery, I have found some Darby,s in Branston,leicestershire and am wondering if they may of moved to Barrow upon soar or may they be related. I have a WILLIAM DARBY who married MARY BEAN by licence the 4 dec, 1760 in branston they seem to of had at least 5 children (maybe more??)

JOHN DARBY bap 5 jan, 1764 branston
THOMAS DARBY bap 4 may 1766  same
JAMES DARBY bap 23 april, 1769  same
JOSEPH DARBY bap 20 aug, 1772 same
ELIZABETH DARBY bap 15 may 1774 same

I also found that an ELIZABETH DARBY was buried the 22 jan, 1782 in branston
JOSEPH DARBY buried 30 june 1773
JAMES DERBY buried 27 sept,1780  parents were WILLIAM and MARY
WILLIAM DERBY buried 19 march,1788 pauper
All these names fit with my ancestors names as well, could anyone help me to trace this family to mine who were from barrow upon soar,
thank you
