Jemima Wood - Willoughby on the Wolds
« on: Monday 11 August 25 19:59 BST (UK) »
Hi All

I'm trying to make a connection with the Jemima Wood mentioned below and Willoughby on the Wolds. Is anyone able to make any suggestions please. I've drawn a blank - there's a birth record for a Jemima Wood which ties in but that's a birth in Nottingham. I've assumed from the below that Jemima was born in Willoughby but I can't find any other connection - thanks in advance                   

Bastardy Order – Male Child born in 1831
Easter Quarter Sessions of 1831:
4th April 1831

Recognizances

Thomas Joynes of Narrow Marsh and John Smith of New Radford both Lace manufacturers for the appearance of Thomas Joynes at this sessions to answer the parish of Willoughby for Jemima Wood’s bastard child to abide order etc

Order

A Male Bastard Child was born on the 10th May 1831 chargeable to the Parish of Willoughby of the body of Jemima Wood of Willoughby single woman of the same place. An application was made by the Churchwardens, and the Overseers of the Poor of Willoughby parish, and upon the examination of Jemima Wood, it was adjudged that Thomas Joynes of Nottingham, Lace Manufacturer, be the putative father. Thomas Joynes was ordered to pay to the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor of Willoughby parish £1 5s (lying in for Jemima Wood), £1 2s (apprehending Thomas Joynes and obtaining the order), and 2s per week to Willoughby parish as long as the child is chargeable to Willoughby. Jemima Wood to pay Willoughby parish 6d per week.

NOTE:      Thomas Joynes of Narrow Marsh died in 1831 and was buried at Nottingham St Nicholas on the 22nd July 1831, aged 57 years.

There's a Jemima Wood on 1841 in Nottingham b c1808. She works in the lace trade Has George aged 13 with her.

Looks like she dies in 1845

Thanks Mabel - yes I think that is my Jemima although the age of George is slightly out - trying to find out why she was connected with Willoughby
