In search of Arthur Milton?

[keyboard86]

Hi again the death you have of Charles Milton in 1859 was it:-

Charles Milton Dec qtr 1859 Radford 7b 127, if so, this Charles Milton's date of burial was 25th December 1859 Place of Burial Sneinton, Dedication St Stephen, Notts, Age at death 6

Not saying this is your Charles Milton, but their was a burial 10th August 1849 Gainsborough age at death 23?

Let's hope he wasn't the model for Aaron -- or if he was, at least he would be an interesting one!

Do you have the Charles + Mary marriage certificate, and if so, what does it say for Charles's age and occupation and father?

Even if the 1851 does say widow for Mary, she might have just said that for propriety.

Charles Milton, aged 14 (c1827), youngest child of mother Ann(e), in St Peter Nottinghamshire in 1841 -- is that likely to be the right Charles?

I've been caught out before carelessly reading someone who was a boot binder as a book binder, but that really does look like book binder in 1841!


btw, it's always best to give all the information you have when asking a question. We went hunting for info you didn't give because we didn't know you had it.

V sorry about not giving enough info at start :-(

Charles & Mary's marriage certificate has Charles as a Book Binder and Arthur and Emily's has Charles as a printer which would seem to fit.  Unfortunately doesn't have Charles age - just "full age".

Charles's father is Thomas Milton and I think his mother is Ann Ellis but not certain on this.

As looks like I have Charles' death wrong and wondering whether he did a vanishing act as well?

Have also wondered if there was possibility of either Charles or Arthur being in prison - can anyone advise on how to check criminal records in Nottinghamshire?

Hi again, have you discounted the death in Gainsborough, the age would bear out, and give a reason why Mary was a Widow in 1851, and Gainsborough is not too distant from Nottingham?

And would also like to know whos child is the Charles aged 6 who died in 1859, as cannot locate a birth in Sneinton for him?

Checking out the Gainsborough death at the moment.  And also will look to see if the child Charles could be related. 

The lack of birth records would fit with a military family who were moving around - the Beardsalls were like this and the children were born all over but they always came back to Sneinton.  But book binder doesn't seem to fit with the miltary does it?

Oh this is interesting - I thought the family were all big protestants border line non-conformists.  Where did you find the record? I will check for my g-grandmother Ellen as well.  And will try and get copies.

The information came from the Nottinghamshire family history society baptism records on CD = http://www.nottsfhs.org.uk/ ....... they have some new records being released in March.

I can't see anything for Ellen, but if you want a copy of Florence's baptism it can be obtained from Nottinghamshire Archives = http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/archives/
