ADDED Search "Shireoaks" for the map.  It is on the north side of the reclaimed area, where two pink dots overlap.

OK, that Newgate Street address strongly supports that I have the correct Ward family in 1851 and 1861.

Isaac Kimpton married as a widower in December 1858.

In 1861 his address is Bridge Street which is very close to Newgate Street.

Did your gg grandmother marry a Linacre/Linacker? If so, at her marriage she is Mary Elizabeth Kimpton Ward, father Isaac Kimpton publican and the initial K is included in the marriage registration.

This Mary Elizabeth Ward/Linacre never used the Kimpton name again (censuses, death 1923, gravestone).

Yes that is a strange one too - it's likely John Ward isn't the father, but none is recorded in Mary's birth certificate - but when she marries her father is noted as Isaac Kimpton , whose name never pops up again!

I think I may have to accept I'll not be able to pin down the actual father - John Ward having died two years before Mary's birth and Isaac Kimpton being the alternative but only appearing once officially.

I would though like to get a bit more info on Mary's parents Richard Layhe and Elizabeth - like I say I can't find any record of them other than on Mary's 1818 baptism record.

Mary Layhe was baptised 7th December 1818 in Worksop.

Her abode is noted as Lead Hill.

Her parents are Richard (labourer) and Elizabeth.

When Mary married John Ward in 1837, her father is given as Richard Layke (labourer).

Other than that, I can't find any records of Richard or Elizabeth.

Obviously the July 1818 marriage in Staveley looks a contender, with Mullins>Mellors not being that much of a stretch?
