Hi... I am trying to verify parents of Ann ELLIS, who married John Hemingray in 1815 in Alfreton. According to family information she was born in 1797, though the census record in 1841 gives an older age. Her parents may have been Thomas ELLIS and Jenny Fletcher ELLIS , who married in Alfreton circa 1790. However, since Ellis is such a common name, there is a William Ellis, wife Dorothy, who had a child Ann in 1797 from Chesterfield, that has caused me to further investigate. Ann and John Hemingray had at least three children: Samuel, Elizabeth and William. Trouble is...those names occur in both families. An even odder reference is found in a biography here in the States for William Hemingray, that suggests that his mother's people were originally from the area of Derbyshire near Castle Donington. I have no idea where that came from or how early . Sometimes these 19th century bios state facts from the 17th century with no verification of dates. So....this has become a bit of a brick wall.

I'd be grateful for help from anyone who has knowledge of London in the 1870s. I have a relative who was married at the Parish Church, in the Parish of St Philips, Lambeth on 24th May 1877. Both bride and groom show their address as 9 Queen Street. I assume this was Lambeth but although there are plenty of Queen Streets in London I don't know if any are in Lambeth. In 1874 the bride gave birth to a son in the union workhouse in Oxford. Could the Queen Street address in London (Lambeth) also have been a workhouse. If so, how do I find out? I'd be grateful for any help. Dave Fleetwood

There's a lot about the Lambeth workhouse(s) - location with dates & drawings & pictures - at http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Lambeth/ Charlie Chaplin was briefly a resident in the 1890s, I think. Queen Street doesn't seem to be mentioned, but I only scanned it quickly. There were lots of Queen Streets in London, more than one in Lambeth in fact, but one was in Kennington and St Philips was Kennington I think (now part of Lambeth). This is a list of streets beginning with Q in Victorian London. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hitch/gendocs/lonstr_q.html Margaret -----Original Message----- From: derbysgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:derbysgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dave Shaw Sent: 12 April 2013 17:16 To: derbysgen@rootsweb.com Subject: [DBY] Workhouse in London I'd be grateful for help from anyone who has knowledge of London in the 1870s.
