Hi Michelle,
My name is Connie, and I am wondering if you are the same Michelle Renslow seeking information about the Matlock(Matlack,Medlock) family from Matlock and Cropwell Bishop, Nottingham, Derbyshire, England. If so, a few of our family members have compiled and documented extensived data dating back to 1528 and includes the info requested. There is a lot more, if you are interested. I lived in England for many years when I was young, and reside in San Antonio,Texas. The Matlocks from Matlock and Cropwell Bishop are on my mother's maternal side, we have many family members who are in Portland,Oregon, some in California, Colorado and the two working the hardest on this research, including traveling to Matlock, England, are two Matlock brothers in the state of Idaho. Below is the info you askd about -like I said-there is a lot more -also, many of us are on Facebook.I found a Michelle Renslow on FB in Auburn, New York,USA, and do not know if she is you and will send a note asking...
John Matlock and Margarett Assekem were married on 24 June 1586
George Matlocke and Jane Hall were married on 7 November 1636
John Matlocke was baptised on 30 March 1560
We were unable to find entries for Thomas Matlock in 1589, George Matlock in 1613 and William Matlock in 1648.
If you wish to pursue your inquiry further, you are welcome to make a personal visit to the Archives Office. (Details of your opening hours etc are to be found overleaf.) If this is not possible you may wish to contact a record agent who will undertake research for a fee. A list is enclosed for your attention.
Yours sincerely

Principal Archivist.
