Hello list, I have visited the chapel ruins, and have a lot of information about this place, and several current photographs. Just as an outside chance, I wonder if anyone has, or has seen any photograph, or painting of the place before it fell into disuse and then ruins in the nineteenth century. Alison M

I'm wondering if anyone can help me find a link in my HAWKSLEY line ? Robert HAWKSLEY was born in South Wingfield (C1809) and married in Sth Wingfield in 1835 to Catherine Fletcher then moved to Nottingham if I could locate their children's details from a census prior to 1881 I might be able to get a time for their move to Nottingham I also would like a proof that Roberts father was Roger HAWKSLEY married to Elizabeth Smith Many thanks Ted Stevenson (in Perth, Western Australia) Researching HAWKSLEY of Derbyshire and post 1836, Nottingham

Thomas FAVELL was midshipman to Commander in the Royal Navy, including service on the 'Bellerphon', 'Barffleur', and 'Jaspur'. He was involved in 1816 along with other British, Dutch, and French vessels in attacking the port of Algiers and forcing the Bey to hand over more than 3 000 European Christian captives held in slavery. regards Dennis FLAVELL www.flavell.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: D & A Smedley Sent: Monday, July 15, 2013 1:29 PM To: derbysgen@rootsweb.com Subject: [DBY] TURKISH SLAVES IN RISLEY - 1736 Viewing the film of the Overseers Accounts for Risley for miscreant Sawley Smedleys today, I found this entry: " 1 Nov 1736 Gave 19 men and woman as have been slaves in Tourkey towards helping them home as other Constables have done, 1s" What a fascinating remark!

Hi Rose I seem to remember that both my Chesterfield grans swore by these. Something that's right off my radar these days, but considering present temperatures (not grumbling, by the way!), I may even  be obliged to try them out. Thank you for this interesting post. Kind regards Joy > Derbyshire Times & Chesterfield Herald, Saturday 25th August 1900 > > "Lassitude and debility are cured by Bile Beans. A case for Chesterfield Women.

Derbyshire Times & Chesterfield Herald, Saturday 25th August 1900 "Lassitude and debility are cured by Bile Beans. A case for Chesterfield Women. Now that the hot weather is with us, in all parts of England, scores of both men and women begin to suffer from ailments which are caused by the heat weakening the system. A constant feeling of fatigue during the day, restlessness instead of sound sleep at night, loss of appetite and a desire to shirk responsibility, these are symptoms which but precede the appearance of worse evils if not properly dealt with. The debilitating effects of our hot, close summers are well known, and hundreds of women toiling in their homes of our land have experienced such to their cost. A sensational case in point has recently occurred in Retford and has been investigated by the Retford and Gainsborough Times. MRS TURNER of Moorgate, Retford, became a victim to debility and general “fag”. She says: “I had always a a feeling of heaviness and weariness which I could not shake off. So bad did I become that I could only move about with difficulty. My breathing was laboured, and caused me pain, and many a time I have actually had to stand still in the street until I could recover my breath.” Now MRS TURNER’s daughter also began to suffer from similar causes. Describing her state to the reporter she said: “My strength left me, I became depressed and lost all interest in everything. So dreadfully low did I get that I could hardly move about, and I felt as if I would like to go to bed and not get up again. Vitality and cheerfulness left me altogether, and I was in a shocking condition.” One day MRS TURNER was observed gasping in the street, and a kindly neighbour gave her a few of CHARLES FORDE’s Bile Beans for Biliousness. The effect of those few beans was such that a box was purchased and a second and third. Both mother and daughter continued to take them and surprising as it may seem, only a few weeks had gone by before both were in better health than they had been for months. Today they are perfectly well. MRS TURNER’s words to the interviewer were: “From soon after beginning to take the Beans I began to improve. I have not since been troubled with my breathing, the feeling of heaviness has disappeared, and I can now get about with ease.” MISS TURNER said: “Only a few weeks elapsed after I began to take the Beans before my weakness and depression disappeared completely. The Beans area a wonderful medicine.” The above instance leaves little room for doubt that for hot weather ailments generally and particularly those which afflict women, CHARLES FORDE’s Bile Beans for Biliousness stand unrivalled. For summer sleeplessness, listlessness and loss of appetite and energy they are certain cures. All chemists stock them or you may obtain from the Bile Bean Manufacturing company, 119 London Wall. E.C. by sending prices 1s 1½d or 2s 9d (2s 9d box contains three times 1s 1½d)." ! ! ! ! So off to Boots anyone?!!! I've been noting down some BMD's, Crime, Accidents, etc containing a good deal of names from pages of the Derbyshire newspapers from the www.britishnewspaperarchive. Haven't found many concerning my own research but hope they help someone somewhere! Will be posting them soon! -- Rose Kelland www.rosescountryrose.blogspot.com www.livesandtimesofbella.blogspot.com

No marriage for this Thomas at Norbury nor any baptisms of children to him there so could he be the Thomas who died in Marston. Nathaniel & Ann who had 5 children: Dorothy born 30 Aug bap 16 Sep 1695 William born 11 Jan bap 22 Jan 1696 Nathaniel born 4 Nov bap 10 Nov 1698 Anne bap 5 Nov 1702 (surname shown as BOTTOM) Joseph bap 15 Jan 1704 (surname shown as BOTTOM) Looking at the dates, this Nathaniel could either be the much younger brother of William or perhaps his son. However, William BOTHAM's will is available to purchase from the Staffordshire Name Index site (www.staffsnameindexes.org.uk) - no that won't be much good to you to prove relationships as looking further it is only an Administration & Inventory with no Will attached. According to Sue Brown's Derbyshire Marriage Index, Nathaniel BOTHAM of Roston in Norbury parish married Ann COOK of Marston Montgomery on 24 September 1694 at Ashbourne. Ah, this could help explain the relationship. If Nathaniel's mother was a Mary BLADON, Sue Brown's Index has the marriage of Wm BOTTOM & Mary BLADON of Sudbury at Somersall Herbert on 6 July 1668. This marriage is confirmed by the Parish Register Transcripts of Somersall Herbert. The Transcripts of Norbury and Roston only start from 1673, so this would explain the omission of a baptism for Nathaniel if he were born between 1668 & 1673. Hope this helps Janet Looking into the BOTHAM family in the area around Marston Montgomery and Norbury from 1680 onwards - particularly Nathaniel Bothams and the PLATTS family of Sudbury from the same time. I am trying to find the connection between these 2 families with THOMAS BOTHAM who died in 1711 at Marston Montgomery. He refers to John Platts the elder of Sudbury as his kinsman and also left Nathaniel Botham of Roston 2s. This is not the Nathaniel Botham referred to in Thomas's will as his grandson, this is two different Nathaniels!
