I'll have to get in touch with my bro in the UK and see if he can get the birth cert as I am in Australia.


Thanks

Mrs Mik, Jan.

This may be our link. I have a Richard NEAL born 1823 in Newhall, Derbyshire. He is my 3rd great grandfather. I have not traced any further back than him. Ashby De la Zouch is the registration district for all my family.  I have not traced all his children. Could his eldest be your Richard born 1840?

Ted, could very well be.  I know there is a link to Newall, they were coal miners - might they have been working their way round all the pits, as one closed they moved to another. Mums dad Joseph Neal died when he was 25 ish and she really doesn't remember any of her relatives from that side of the family.  We'll keep digging, we might still be cousins LOL.  Strange co-incidence that they were down as Freemans in one of the census.
