Harriet CHAMBERS and sister E D chambers. Greasley

[lewlew1]

Hi sorry for any confusion, its a part of my tree that i have been confused with myself for a while.

I am not sure why the Rootchatter that messaged me believes Jesse to be harriett's father, I believe this was from their own research.

regarding Harriett's family in Greasley in 1841 - Piece number 857 - Folio number 39 - Page 25  the reasons i wasn't sure was because of harriets birth. on her marriage certificate in 1849 its says she is 21? Her death certificate says she was 77 in 1903. The census in 1901 gives 1826, but the 1851 and 1881 say 1828 for birth. But could this just be errors in giving birth year?

The other thing i was wondering was why her sister was with them in Derbyshire not nottinghamshire in 1851, but this could just be from visiting on the day??

But yes the marriage certificate for John SEVERN is JOSEPH SEVERN and Harriet CHAMBERS is WILLIAM CHAMBERS.

Also Dizzifish thank you for suggesting about visiting the local studies, that is very kind of you, I am not that experienced myself so I wouldn't even know where to start if i did that.

thanks

The Mitchell/Chambers marriage we really want Sarah to be a widow - maiden name Lees.

This was the baptism I had for Selina and what I was working with.

there is a Selina Chambers baptism 20 Apr 1823 with father Samuel mother Sarah Lees in Long Eaton Notts - is that near Greasley?

I'm getting quite confused here, I hope I don't cause more confusion.

I can't see any baptisms on my CD for any Selina Chambers anywhere in the county in the right timeframe (It doesn't include Long Eaton, but does include Greasley and the areas around there). Do you have the more up to date disc, Milliepede? If not, where did you find the Long Eaton bapt?

Maybe this is the marriage between Samuel and Sarah:

1815 12 18    Samuel   CHAMBERS   Sarah  LEES   GREASLEY St Mary

it seems this couple had one child, a son called Thomas, bapt in Greasley in 1817, but there are no others listed (which makes sense if the family moved away).

Oh gosh where did I get that from then    let me check again, I don't have any discs just ancestry.

[Milliepede]

Yes it's the first one that comes up if you enter "Selina Chambers born 1823"

England and Wales non conformist and non parochial registers 1567-1970 on ancestry

birth date 5 April 1823
father Samuel Chambers
mother Sarah Lees
baptism date 23 April 1823
Long Eaton Notts
denomination Wesleyan

[Milliepede]

Original says Sarah was the daughter of Thomas and Ann Lees

Samuel was a collier of Kimberley in the parish of Greasley

So that would probably fit with the Samuel Chambers/Sarah Lees marriage in Greasley mentioned above. I've noticed that people in Awsworth and Kimberley seemed to use the Greasley church quite frequently.

It also means of course that Sarah was not a widow when she married.

Can anyone do a quick summary of thoughts so far?

[Milliepede]

It also means of course that Sarah was not a widow when she married.

I was meaning she would have to be a widow when she married William Mitchell as Sarah Chambers, sorry didn't make that very clear.
