Mary Brierley Cotgrave 1768

Hi Notts girl,

Thanks for all this.
Wishorn, Wissaw, Wishaw all seems possible in that era of literacy.

I am assuming all of this is Cotgrave information,
The 3rd marriage and subsequent James death look more like they were the second James b 1715, son of James than the original.
I have a couple of other deaths/burials presumed at Cotgrave  which i have not traced yet, If i get the names together would you mind having a look for those ?

Thanks again
Chris

Hi Again,

On reflection i am not sure that the only daughter Elizabeth mentioned here, born 1715 was my one.
My Elizabeth did not marry till 1760 ( So 45 years ) and had children till 1778 (So 64 years old )?

Pity there is not an Elizabeth born about 1740 (Of the later James marriage ? )    There is a suitable gap there

Hi Chris, my mums maiden name was Thurman and we are descendants of Mary Brierley. I have her bapt at Cotgrave in 1768, the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth nee Wishaw and marrying Thomas Thurman in 1793.
        Did you know that their son William, from whom I am descended was forced out of Tollerton by the Squire in a  dispute over land or that their son Thomas was sentenced to death, commuted to transportation for life?.
        My great grandfather Charles Thurman wrote several accounts of his life and a diary extract says that Mary was said to be a great talker by her grandson Thomas who was Charles father.
         I also see that you are interested in the Voce and Lewin families, well the above William Thurman was married to Rachael Voce the daughter of Samuel and Mary Hanbury and I also have various references to the Lewin family.   Hope this is of interest. best regards, Pete.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your reply,
We are searching the same lines of ancestry here, I am descended from Thomas Thurman & Mary Brierleys younger daughter Mary Thurman (Baptised 18  Feb 1806 Tollerton)
Mary Brierley is my 3rd Gt Grandmother, so I am probably 4th cousin of your mother
I knew of Thomas being deported to Australia from various documents and a reference in these to Williams dispute with the squire Pendock Barry, but did not know he was forced out of the village by the evil squire, I do have him later in Edwalton though.
You probably have the Thurman Methodist history at Cotgrave I guess.
My Mary Thurman married William Lewin so I am interested in the Lewins also, I willl send you a Personal Message to communicate more

For anyone interested in Mary Brierley 1768, I have a handwritten book by Charles Thurman 1861 that has a first hand account of her. 
Mary is my ggg grandmother.
My name is John Thurman, grandson of Frederick Octavius Thurman.
