Bingo!!

marriage on family search:

William Fletcher = Margaret Furmer 22/4/1805 St Marys, Notts

must be where the Fermer/Farmer /Furmer comes from. maybe someone on the Npotts board could check the original for you. see spelling there.

Hi Diddy, I am just trawling through the all information you have given me and am currently looking at the bapts in Wymeswold of children of William and Maraget/Margaretta, I have found them all but cant seem to find John bapt 4/3/1821.  You did mention on your previous post that you found some in Leics strays index, sorry I am being thick but what is the strays index 

ps I have again contacted the moderator regarding my post on Notts board.

john 25/10/1818 - samuel 4/3/1821

a strays index is one where someone has been baptised / married /died away from their parish / county. in this case all the children are said to be children of william, yeoman of Burton on the Wolds but baptised wymeswold.

Leics stray index vol 5. pub by Leics FHS

you can also find John on family search. it also has him on 1881 (married to elizabeth) / 1901 census as in Willoughby on the wolds.

Hi Diddy, it is me again.  I have spent this evening going through the amazing information that yourself and Mike have helped me with.  I have also been looking at Family Search too.

One thing that is puzzling me is your previous post :

daughter Elizabeths bap is on the Leics IGI:

Elizabeth d/o James & Ann Fletcher 3/10/1836

but it is not on the Wymeswold fiche!

Diddy

I don't seem to be able to find this on the Leics IGI and am intrigued as to where Elizabeth was baptised.  Looking at the dates her parents possibly married in May 1836 and she may have been born/baptised in the october, so her mother may have been 5 months pregnant 
I did manage to find on family search the following birth that may be my Elizabeth but have not come across this before (sorry if I am being a bit thick!).

England and Wales Non-conformist Record birth place East Leake & Wimeswold date 31 October 1836 parents James & Ann.

Please can you give me some advice as to what to do next or where I can find the info you found on the IGI?

Thank you.

apologies Fek - I have rechecked my scrap of paper & the date is indeed 31/10/1836. i saw it on the Leics IGI fiche but on looking at the fiche PRs for wymeswold couldn't see it. i think you can be pretty sure therefore that the N/C record you found is her - it is on the BMD registers site:

Piece Description
Register of Births at the General Baptist Chapels in the parishes of East Leake and Wimeswould, Nottinghamshire from 1775 to 1837
TNA Reference    RG4 / Piece 2672 / Folio 41  [Chapel/Registry]
Full Name          Elizabeth Fletcher
Date of Birth      31 October 1836
Place of Abode    Wimeswold
Parish of Abode   Wimeswold
County of Abode  Leicestershire
Registration Town/County  East Leake And Wimeswould, Nottinghamshire
Ceremony Performed by Edward Bott
Parents
Father   James Fletcher
Mother  Ann Fletcher

on here it is under Nottinghamshire which is maybe why we couldn't find it - East Leake is right on the border of Notts /Leics. Notts post code - Leics telephone etc.
