Good morning I have a short latin extract from a non-conformist register dated 1655 regarding the baptism of Jean Macaree. I can pick out Jean and his father Henry and mother Elizabeth Le Houcq?? Odd words like “fils” I recognise. I should have taken more attention in Mr Van Raalte’s latin lessons back in 1956! I there anyone who might be able to do me quick transcribe if I send a copy of the entry off list? It is not extensive. Peter

Hi chaps My Great Great Great Granddad Richard Foulk (Foulk / Foulke / Fowk etc) was born in Horsley, Derbyshire between 1804 and 1806 and has long been something of a "brick wall" Richard Foulk married Mary Woodhouse at Horsley in 1829, his four children were born there and Richard died there in December 1890 aged 84 years. On all the census entries (1841 to 1881) he says he was born in Horsley. However, I have never found a baptism for him in Horsley or anywhere nearby between 1804 and 1806 or a bit either side. On all the sources I have; Marriage record, census records, burial record, death registration; Richard is always recorded as Richard Foulk. However, I was recently looking at the diaries of Richard's neighbour Thomas Needham and noticed that when Richard died in 1890 Thomas had this to say "Richard Foulk shipstone died Dec 14th 1890 aged 84" Initially I thought 'shipstone' might relate to an address in Horsley, or perhaps even some sort of occupation, but, looking at other diary entries I think that Thomas Needham is actually trying to tell me something about Richard's parentage. Looking through the diary entries I noticed that Needham often adds extra names to people which relates to their parents for example "Mary Seal Welch of Smalley died November 6th 1866 aged 35 years. She died very sudden, left 4 children" This entry refers to a lady called Mary Welsh who first marries William Kerry and then marries William Seal, and this entry "Rebecca Foulk and John Whilton Bell was married at Horsley December 25th 1867. Ringers 5s." refers to John the son of Mary Whilton a spinster, who then subsequently married Mr Bell. On official sources John Whilton never calls himself anything other than Whilton, and we only learn about the Bell connection through Needham's diaries. So I am trying to work out what Thomas Needham is trying to tell me about my Richard Foulk and his connection to the Shipstone family, but I can't make head or tail of it. There was a John Shipstone who lived at Horsley and was a Nail maker. He was born in about 1763 and married first Mary Are or Eyre in 1787. They had three little children who all died young and Mary herself died in 1797. John Shipstone then took a second wife when in 1802 he married Elizabeth Foulk. Hurrah I thought, I've cracked it here, but alas no. This Elizabeth Foulk was born in about 1746/1747 and so would have been in her late 50s by the time my Richard Foulk was born in 1804-1806 so a little bit too old to be his mother. Elizabeth Shipstone (Needham calls her Old Betty Shipstone) died in January 1836 and Needham then tells us the "Fanney Grace came to live with John Shipstone on the 30th of April 1836" which I thought quite an odd statement. Anyway this Fanny or Frances Grace actually married John Shipstone as his 3rd wife at nearby Duffield on 10th October 1836. Fanny was born in about 1770 and she was the widow of John Grace. As it turns out, her maiden surname was also Foulk. But how can she have been the mother of my Richard Foulk when she was already married to Mr Grace in 1790 and producing children by him from then until 1812? I am perplexed. I feel sure there is a link between the Shipstones and my Foulks but I am at a loss to explain it. And I still can't find a baptism for my Richard Foulk. Does anyone on here have any bright ideas?

Siblings to my grandparents  Joseph Burdett and Maud Turner. Never forgotten. Ian Blazey.

Thanks for that Lou It really brings to mind the changes that were happening for our ancestors. We often think that the new technologies that we are experiencing are enormous but to them those changes were probably just as big and exciting - or worrying. Also without those discoveries our modern day life would be totally different.

Hi, Can't say how any of my husband's Derbyshire ancestors were impacted, but to the best of my knowledge Eli Whitney is credited with the invention of the modern mechanical cotton gin in 1793 (patent granted in 1794). There were much earlier hand cotton gins too, but it was the Whitney invention that led to modern mass production.

And some of you may realize that Civil Registration of births, deaths and marriages were fully implemented during this period, also. Although they were not a "new" idea - we had them during the Interregnum of Oliver CROMWELL in the mid 1600s. The civilian government of England established the Civil Parishes that still exist today, in many cases doing away with the Liberties and Peculiars of the Church of England in an effort to ensure that each person was represented by a local politician, so that each Englishman had a voice in government.. Well, the system still needs a little tweaking, I would say. But it is better than no voice at all. Lou

Hi, listers, The early 1800s must have been an interesting time for our ancestors to live in. The world was changing and not everyone was prepared for it. "Ideas" were flooding Europe from the French Revolution and the American Revolution. Ideas like individual freedom, the right to vote, religious freedom and technology. The spiining wheel had been around for about 450 years. Then James Hargreaves invented the spinning-jenny in 1764 and the cotton Gin in 1794. Industrial cloth weaving and making didn't really get started until 1803 and soon, lots of our ancestors found factory work in the mills. Most of our ancestors couldn't read or write. Public education was only just being formulated. One-room schools were the norm for a few decades. And students left school around age 11 or 12 to work in the factories or to tend the land. Wide-spread public education didn't ake root until about 1840. There were no railways until about 1840. If you wanted to go to London, it was several days on a stage coach, or, more likely, several weeks by wagon and barge. The potato, from the New World, was a popular crop. People talk now about the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s, but it also impacted northern England, parts of France and the low countries. Lots of British peasants were on the move!

Hi, Derby-Geners, I've just finished makeing a number of small improvements to the Brailsford parish profile on Genuki. It now has a Genealogy section listing some entries Jane TAYLOR found in the Derby Mercury. And we now have a partial extract of parish burials online, which I always find as a useful tool. Brailsford also has a parish Institute. If you need some time away from your couch, many parishes have a Womens' Institute or a local history society. These often hold talks on local history or famous families in the area. You should go and ask about the sources they use. Lou (out in sunny and hot California)

Hi Peter Well not that it helps find him in 1939 but his birth was registered as Ernest William DRAKE DRAKE, ERNEST WILLIAM BARRATT Order GRO Reference: 1885 J Quarter in BURTON UPON TRENT Volume 06B Page 386 Births Jun 1885 Drake Ernest William Burton 6b 386 He was baptised April 8th 1885 Ernest William, son of Ernest William & Caroline DRAKE, of Burton, father a labourer (sadly no date of birth recorded) In 1891 he is with his parents and siblings in Burton upon Trent where he was born, he was enumerated as William DRAKE age 6, son of Honester (sic) & Caroline DRAKE In 1901 the family have moved to Derby, the youngest child Gerty was born in Burton upon Trent in 1893, so sometime between 1893 & 1901 Honesty is enumerated as Ernest a publican (whether by design or enumerators error I couldn't say but looks like design) the son aged 16 is enumerated as Ernest W DRAKE a tramway worker In 1911 he is enumerated as William DRAKE a boarder with a WORTHY family at Church View Crich, he is 26, single a Quarryman He married Annie Eliza ALLWOOD 3rd June 1911 His parents are at Shudy Camps Cambs in 1911 as Ernest & Caroline In the 1939 NIR there is an Annie DRAKE b1886 in Derby but she is divorced and has what you might assume to be a daughter with her (although could be some other relative), I found no births to DRAKE & ALLWOOD (she was a spinster when she married) There is a report of a divorce between Joseph DRAKE and Annie DRAKE in 1935 in the Derby Daily Telegraph, naming a man named HADFIELD (who the divorced Annie DRAKE resides with in 1939) There was only one Ernest William DRAKE birth registered in 1885, none in 1884, and two in 1886 March & June quarters There is one Ernest W DRAKE dob 20th Jan 1886 in Bristol in 1939 (I suspect the 1886 March qtr birth) I tried William as well to no avail I conclude they are either missing off this register or heavily mistranscribed but suspect the former Several reasons they not be in this register, out of the country, missed on the first sweep, avoiding detection etc When William Ernest DRAKE died I notice his probate entry does not mention his widow (the will might of course) There was a nice write up in 1911 on their marriage which I will send over, it says William Ernest DRAKE was a bellringer, Sunday school scholar and chorister at the parish church Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 01/11/2018 08:31, Peter Patilla via DERBYSGEN wrote: > Good morning > In tidying up my WW1 soldiers I cannot find William Ernest Drake (1885–1957) in the 1939 register > He married Annie Eliza Allwood in 1911. > Evidence suggests he lived at Wakebridge area all his life (Crich/Holloway area) > > Although a small gap in my data it niggles that I cannot find it! > No doubt as I work my way through this checking process more niggles will arise :-) > > Peter

Hi, folks, Every now and then we see a valuable historical website that has to go offline for good due to lack of funding. Oh, I know, a lot of Internet users assume everything on the Internet is free, but somebody has to pay the bills for all the infrastructure that makes it available to you. We recently lost the Derbyshire War Memorials "wikispaces" site. Now I see the Geo-graph website also needs some funding to continue hosting all those church photos and pictures of your favorite parishes. I have encouraged several individuals who have photographs to store them on Geo-graph so that we can all see them. Please consider giving a small donation to help this site continue to operate for ALL of us. Lou Mills (Who is not associated with Geo-graph)
