After a very long wait, I have finally received the LDS Microfilm containing records from the Parish in Ilkeston, Derby! It took so long to arrive that I had forgotten why I had ordered it! One of the many family entries that I saw was the marriage of John Orme to Sarah Atherley - it took place with consent of parents so no names or locations of family are shown. They married on 15 May 1814 with witnesses being: Sam L. Orme and William Tunincliff.
There was also a marriage, on 26 Dec. 1815, of a Nathaniel Orme and Sarah Skeavington (sp?).
I also saw a marrage of a James Sifson (sp?) and Ann Knighton on 27 Feb. 1816, witnessed by: John Orme and Henry Higgitt.
Another marriage on 27 June 1817 of William Atherley and Sarah Beer, wtinessed by: John Orme and Henry Sills.
Another on 16 Jan. 1819 of Joseph Knighton and Sarah Strangeway, witnessed by: Ferdinand Wright and James Webster Spencer.
I reached 1820 and had to call it a day ... I have access to the Microfilm until early November, so will return to do more reading.
There was also a death of a William Knighton (age 36) of Colmanhay, Ilkeston on 6 May 1814.
I suspect that all of these people are somehow connected in my family tree.
An interesting note: William Tunincliff also witnessed the marriage of John Briggs and Catherine Dakin of 15 Sept. 1814 - also witnessed by William Smith and John Bostock. He also witnessed a marriage of a John Fisher and Phoebe Henshaw on 16 May 1818. His name kept surfacing which I found interesting.
That's it for now ...
