[nsledden]

hi ronone and crisane your extended efforts are much appreciated myself and my father and my fathers last surviving brother never knew any of this info and it is quite impressive what you have unearthed also on some of your earlier posts about sledden being derived from sledding seem possible as some of the fornames make sense , also some of the names continue to be used for most knew sleddens nowadays mine seeming to be the exception haha.

If he has that is brilliant because it will give her mother's maiden name as well as her father's name and occupation and where they were living at the time.

The 1841 census is proving a but of a problem, although I haven't spent much time on it,  and that is where Margaret's birth certificate would help us locate the marriage for Richard and Martha and give us their father's names.

If your father has the birth certificate for Margaret I wonder if the mother's maiden name matches this record? Unfortunately no parents names given for the bride and groom.

nsledden, we are greatly interested on the other side of the pond about Sleddens, as pertains to the records of Sladens and Sladdens and possible connections. There is a Domesday entry for a thane named Slettan in Dunnington, York, and among many theories, an Old German word for hillside was sleyda and Old Norse for flat places is slatten. It is all rather airy-fairy since there are other theories about sloe berries and other vowel-shift possibilities, but we are trying to blend paper genealogy with genetics when possible whether we get to the root of the name(s) or not.
If you know of any interest in DNA to add to your paper-trail, please SEARCH on Slaton DNA, most engines will find our Family Tree Project.

Have you looked at Sleddon and variants on the surnames interest list to find other Sleddon RootsChatters?
Hills and flat places are appropriate for Lancashire. So are Old German and Old Norse words. Sloe berries are from blackthorn bushes.

Thanks, I removed the e-mail, I should have intuited that rule but it has been years since I have looked out here.
I have looked at most variant names in postings but there are few Sleddons, relatively speaking, so I will await a reply as to where nsleddon has ever looked at "our" variants. There are about thirty variant spellings, with about ten predominating. This is the first interest I note in that particular spelling since last visit.
