Morning all Just finished major update of Crich men who served in WW1 (see ww.crichparish.co.uk). Of the 395 names on the Roll I am stumped with 31 names – I cannot find these men with Crich connections. If anyone out there knows of any of them or can cast light then I would be delighted to hear from them Also, if your relative is on the Roll can you check what I have written in case of errors. Some of the information I have is rather sketchy I am also working with the Lea Mills archivist on their WW1 soldiers (several of whom are Crich Parish men). If you have relatives who served in WW1 and worked at Lea Mills (not necessarily from Crich) then again, I would be delighted to hear from you. The Lea Mills WW1 memorial we are working on is proving very interesting, some lovely stuff is coming to light. In hope... Peter

HI again On speaking with my brother, a local historian in the Seals area, I understand that parts of Boothorpe were in the parish of Seals while other parts were in Ashby parish. This may explain why the marriage was in Seal parish - Netherseal probably, at that time. My brother has come across documents about the bailiff for Thomas Mowbray, landowner of Seals, collecting rents? or similar in Boothorpe. Several villages in the area were split between 2 parishes and even 2 counties in some cases - Donisthorpe & Appleby are good examples - in some cases the divisions were in the form of the medieval strips. Regards Geraldine Bancroft -----Original Message----- From: Winston Cochrane Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 8:45 PM To: derbysgen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DBY] William HAIR / AYRE / EYRE Thanks for everyone's help. With your suggestions, records, and education on the locations in Leicestershire and Derbyshire, I have pieced together the following. Please let me know if you think I made a wrong connection. William HAIR/AYRE/EYRE, my wife's gg-grandfather, had his name progressively changed in the 1851/1861/1871 Derbyshire census. (One of the most difficult brick walls to figure out is when you have name changes like this.) His son, John Henry and his descendants kept the surname EYRE. If anyone is interested in John Henry's descendants in the US, I will be glad to supply them. William was from Boothrope and his wife was Ann from Tonge based on the census. William HAIR and Ann BANCROFT were married on 27 Dec 1842 in the parish of Seal in Ashby de la Zouch, close to Boothrope and Tonge. Also revealed are their father's names: Joseph HAIR and John BANCROFT. Sources: Free BMD Marriage Index 1837-1915 on Ancestry; England Marriages 1538-1973 on FamilySearch. I could not find any other William HAIR + Ann marriages about that time and location. William and Ann's first child, William Jr., was christened 14 Jan 1844 in Boothorpe. With all the HAIRS that show up in records in that area, the local barber must have done a good business!! (Sorry - I couldn't resist.) William HAIR Sr. was christened 3 Mar 1811 in Blackfordby, near Boothorpe and Tonge. Parents were Joseph HAIR and "Hanah or Martha". Source: England Births/Christenings 1538-1975 on FamilySearch. Joseph HAIR and Martha OAKLY were married 17 Mar 1800 in Willesley, Derby. Source: England Marriages 1538-1973 on FamilySearch. I could not find any other Joseph HAIR + Martha or + Hannah. Also the 1841 census has the Joseph-Maratha-William HAIR family in Boothrope. Ann BANCROFT was christened 2 Dec 1821 in Breedon on the Hill, near Boothrope and Tonge. Parents were John BANCROFT and Susannah (no surname). Source: England Births/Christenings 1538-1975 on FamilySearch. Now I've got Joseph HAIR, Martha OAKLY, John BANCROFT and Susannah ______ to trace backwards. Thanks again.

Good Morning List, I was recently in Thailand and, as part of a tour, went to the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, the last resting place of nearly 5,000 allied servicemen who died on the infamous Thai-Burma Railway. Prior to going to the cemetery, we were all given a small, single floral tribute to lay on one of the graves if we so wished. I have no relatives there, but I saw the headstone of a Private F. W. H. LUDLAM of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment). He was 23 years of age when he died, the same age as my oldest son. I have family from Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and I believe some of my distant relatives served with the Sherwood Foresters. It seemed fitting to place that small wreath on his grave. When I returned home, I did some research and found that this young man's full-name was Frederick William Harrison LUDLAM and he appears to have been born in Belper in Derbyshire about 1920. If there are family, relatives or researchers out there who would like a photograph of the headstone of Private Ludlam, please let me know and I would be honoured to forward a copy to you. Lest We Forget Nigel

Dear Celia, What a treasure trove of information. Thank you so much. I will follow those paths you've suggested as my resources allow. (As I live on the far West Coast of Canada, on a limited income, it will take some time.) Most of the resources you noted are new to me, and will be a treat to explore. I did find just last evening that Mary WILD's father was Peter WILD, christened in Morton, not far from you I gather. Knowing that Peter is an uncommon name in England and often non-conformist is so helpful. Thank you, again. Pat Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2012 09:56:44 +0000 From: Celia Renshaw<celiarenshaw@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [DBY] residents of Leam, Dbys To:derbysgen@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <CAPb7e01objxsHJkbUihRcwsYx4p9Y3FxxwWz=v3H_dky6x_Kog@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Congratulations Pat! If you're looking to prove that Peter belonged to Joseph and Mary, I wonder if that given name can be found in what might be Joseph and Mary's natal families? It's a fairly rare given name in England, often (though not always) associated with dissent, so if you found another Peter ANDREW or a Peter WILD in the right kind of area, it would add weight to the likelihood that your Peter belonged with them. Have you looked for dissenter records in the 1758 period? Stephen Orchard's book "Nonconformity in Derbyshire" says of Eyam: "24 Presbyterian families in 1751 visitation and a Meeting House with fortnightly service led by Mr Tait for about 20 people." Sadly it doesn't look as though registers for this group have survived. 24 families in a place the size of Eyam sounds fairly significant as dissent goes, so maybe it's worth contacting the URC Historical Society Library in Cambridge to see if they hold more info about Eyam dissenters? The Centre for Dissenting Studies at Dr Williams' Library might have something too. What about Wills held at Lichfield Record Office? If you can get to visit LRO, could be worth checking not just your two names but other contemporary Wills of Eyam folk, especially any other names you know to be associated with the ANDREWs and WILDs, as they may mention nephews/nieces, godchildren, etc. in your family. The DRO guide says that there is a collection of documents for the WRIGHT family of Eyam including 18th c. rentals and estate papers which may hold something and there are records for Eyam school starting in 1753. But the source most likely to hold information directly relating to the family and its relationships is Manor Court records. They may be at Chatsworth Archives because the Duke of Devonshire was Lord of the Manor when the entry in British History Online for Eyam was written: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50728&strquery=eyam. Chatsworth Archives will no doubt tell you if they do hold Manor records for Eyam; they will also carry out research for you, though it costs the usual kind of archives rate, or they allow research visits (a daily fee charged), though that takes time to organise as I'm currently finding out - a significant wait before a date can be arranged. If Eyam Manor records are not at Chatsworth, ask DRO if they know where they are or send a query to the Manorial Documents Register: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mdr/(Derbyshire Manor records are not yet listed online but the MDR holds info on file). Hoping you haven't already thought of all these options! Celia Renshaw in Chesterfield

Kanchanaburi is a beautifully kept cemetery, and quite sobering when you visit to realise how many servicemen died during the construction of the railway, which is still in use now.

In Remembrance of my grandfather Thomas George YOELL and connected family members who gave their lives that we may be free In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Hoping you haven't already thought of all these options! Celia Renshaw in Chesterfield On 10 November 2012 02:54, Patricia Andrew <pdandrew32@gmail.com> wrote: > I am so pleased.

I am so pleased. After years of searching, I've found my 5x great-grandparents, ANDREW. Several of my ANDREW ancestors of the late 1700s-early 1800s were recorded in the Eyam parish registers as being "of Leam." I researched Leam and learned it was a tiny place, basically a farm with outbuildings. My 4x great-grandfather, Peter ANDREW was "of Leam" but there was no Eyam record of his christening. However, I found Joseph ANDREW of Leam and Mary WILD married at Eyam in 1747 and had two children, Joseph and Sarah christened at Eyam in 1748 and 1762 respectively, both of Leam. Peter's birth, estimated about 1758, would fit in the middle of those two. Since Leam was such a tiny place, I'm thinking it highly likely that Joseph and Mary ANDREW were Peter's parents. But I don't know how to prove it. Any suggestions, please? Meanwhile, I've put together a list of all the surnames from the Eyam registers that are recorded as being of Leam. These include: Andrew, Owtrim + variations, Bennet, Webster, Hawksworth, Cooper, Middleton, Smith, Eyre, Field, Thorp. Platts, Martin, Scott, Oxley, Wadswoth, Wild, and Sowter. If anyone wants details, please ask me. cheers, Pat

Thanks for everyone's help. With your suggestions, records, and education on the locations in Leicestershire and Derbyshire, I have pieced together the following. Please let me know if you think I made a wrong connection. William HAIR/AYRE/EYRE, my wife's gg-grandfather, had his name progressively changed in the 1851/1861/1871 Derbyshire census. (One of the most difficult brick walls to figure out is when you have name changes like this.) His son, John Henry and his descendants kept the surname EYRE. If anyone is interested in John Henry's descendants in the US, I will be glad to supply them. William was from Boothrope and his wife was Ann from Tonge based on the census. William HAIR and Ann BANCROFT were married on 27 Dec 1842 in the parish of Seal in Ashby de la Zouch, close to Boothrope and Tonge. Also revealed are their father's names: Joseph HAIR and John BANCROFT. Sources: Free BMD Marriage Index 1837-1915 on Ancestry; England Marriages 1538-1973 on FamilySearch. I could not find any other William HAIR + Ann marriages about that time and location. William and Ann's first child, William Jr., was christened 14 Jan 1844 in Boothorpe. With all the HAIRS that show up in records in that area, the local barber must have done a good business!! (Sorry - I couldn't resist.) William HAIR Sr. was christened 3 Mar 1811 in Blackfordby, near Boothorpe and Tonge. Parents were Joseph HAIR and "Hanah or Martha". Source: England Births/Christenings 1538-1975 on FamilySearch. Joseph HAIR and Martha OAKLY were married 17 Mar 1800 in Willesley, Derby. Source: England Marriages 1538-1973 on FamilySearch. I could not find any other Joseph HAIR + Martha or + Hannah. Also the 1841 census has the Joseph-Maratha-William HAIR family in Boothrope. Ann BANCROFT was christened 2 Dec 1821 in Breedon on the Hill, near Boothrope and Tonge. Parents were John BANCROFT and Susannah (no surname). Source: England Births/Christenings 1538-1975 on FamilySearch. Now I've got Joseph HAIR, Martha OAKLY, John BANCROFT and Susannah ______ to trace backwards. Thanks again.

Hi Winston Following on from Brett's suggestion there is a William HAIR's birth registered in Ashby de la Zouch district (correct for Boothorpe) in 1843 Dec qtr and another in 1845 Jun qtr. There is also a marriage in Ashby reg district for a William HAIR possibly to Ann BANCROFT (funnily enough!) or Elizabeth REDFERN in Dec qtr 1842. I know there were BANCROFTs in the Tonge area.
