Seeking Family of Mary Ann Fisher, born Oct. 1895, Basford

Morning Carol (or evening)
Great to see you are leaving no (or seemingly very few) stones unturned.
But I am a little confused. The census records clearly state John' origin/native place/birth is Ireland. How can "your branch" stretch back to 1500s in Derbyshire? Are you thinking that John's father was in Ireland for a while, marrying and procreating and then went back to Derbyshire?

Ps I have noticed a Nathaniel Orme of similar vintage to John Orme lurking in Ilkeston at similar time, also having a son John.  Albeit Nat is born in Derbyshire.  Are Nathaniel and John related?

Hi Cocksie!  Thanks for your post.  I found those Orme entries on an Ancestry tree that had a whole bunch of my family showing in their tree - I got excited to see so many Orme's so took a quick note of them all while I was at the LDS Family History Centre, (I don't have access to Ancestry at home) and I didn't confirm that the John Orme shown was 'mine'.  Stupid of me ...  I just assumed...
I did find an Isaac Orme, b. 1827, d. 1904, son of Sarah and John, who married Ellen Newbutt, b. 1832, d. 1910.

I have followed your your search from the first post, and it is great to see that little by little you a chipping away at your brick wall. Keep going Carol. Pretty sure all will be revealed soon.

Good luck
Trish

I've been thinking about the Methodist clues.
Have you had a look at non conformist records?  Www.bmdregisters.co.uk? Doesn't cost to search (does cost to look at the record), but sometimes a search result listing gives very good clues.  I've had a quick look and there are Fishers, Ormes, Calladine (remember to try spelling variations for this name), Atherleys and scattergood Methodists in Derbyshire and all connected.  Even with a search result listing you can see maternal grandparents listed sometimes which helps verify things, or help make links.

Greetings chatters!  After a very long wait, this morning I received an email from GRO indicating they were refunding my payment as there is no "Alice Hall, born 6 Feb. 1899" showing in any registry.
The digging continues ...

Ah well Carol! It is possibly as simple as she was using a middle name ...keep digging you will uncover more 'treasure' I'm sure......... it is amazing what you have dug up so far

Hi Carol,
this may not be her but it is an Alice Hall in the right period

Hi heywood ...  I provided GRO with Alice Hall's information with the year of birth between 1898-1900.  I think I'll bite the bullet and order the cert based on the info you provided above.  Thanks!
