Joshua Oldfield birth

[sunflower]

Hi Matt

lic  means that they married by Licence.  Derbyshire marriage licences are kept at Lichfield Records Office.  It is well worth having a copy as they can give loads of information.

I have some Chesterfield baptisms from 1760 - 1801 so I will have a look for Thomas later and get back to you.

Hi Matt

This could be him

Thomas Oldfield son of Robert bapt 23 May 1768

I search up to 1778 but no other children bapt to Robert.

A few others that may be the same family

William Oldfield son of Edward (of Newbold bapt 26 Jan 1777
Ann Oldfield son of George bapt 19 March 1775
Hannah Oldfield da  of George 31 May 1773

All took place at Chesterfield St Marys and All Saints.

Hi Matt,

Sorry cannot help with looking at Derbyshire records.
I have had a look at the marriage of  Joshua's sister that you mentioned and it has her father as Thomas Oldfield a FWK witnesses were a George ( sorry couldn't make out the surname) and Susannah Bailey.

Carol,
Thank you so much for the information! One question for you that I have: when it says on the marriage entry that Thomas Oldfield was from Chesterfield, does that typically mean that it was his place of birth or just where he was living at the time of the marriage? I'll probably have to get a copy of the license to figure that one out, but, any ideas you may have would be helpful. Do you have the contact information for the office?

Nottsgirl1,
Thank you as well for taking the time to look up that marriage record. I may need your help with Nottinghamshire records in a bit as I have another family I'm curious about.

Thanks again, both you of!

Hi Matt

No it doesn't necessarily mean he was born there but he was of that parish when he married.

There is an order form online at the Lichfield RO where you can order marriage licences.  It looks like it is just as cheap to order 2 than it is to just have 1
