    3. Dear Kate Thank you for that info, but you are both right and wrong, there was a mine shaft sunk at Woodhall as it then was in 1821 by John Parkinson in an attempt to find coal as most of what was used in Lincolnshire came from the Pennines at that time, but none was found, all that was found was a conduit of salty water, following an accident during some work with explosives in the mine and a resulting fatality the mine shaft was closed and wooden planks laid over the top, but with a couple of years the mine shaft was full of the salty water and it was bubbling up over the top, it as then noticed that cattle who had drunk from the water where cured of some ailments and when the local lord of the manor tried some and found it help with his gout, he initially built a small bath house over the spring and later turned it into a spa hence the former village of Woodhall became the town of Woodhall spa. so the reason that the town has mine workings in it's sign is that without the ill-fated attempt at mining there would have been no spa town.

    1. Re: [LIN] Admin. Note: Early 1800s
    2. elaine westaway
    3. There was another reason for movement and that was mining,amongst my west country ancestors there are many surnames that trace their origins back to the midlands and the north east and this was because of tin mining in Cornwall and  of course the clay industry down there too, for instance Armstrong is a surname that only appears in Northumberland except for one line in Cornwall which hails back to the 1600's and was a man from the very old Lead mining industry in the north east who came to Cornwall to help with their lead mining industry and married and stayed. I know it doesn't really apply to Lincolnshire as I don't think there was any mining there but certainly there was in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire and many of my lead and tin mining ancesters crossed over the Bristol channel when the tin and lead mining industry died in Cornwall and went to South Wales to start mining coal. regards Elaine Westaway Hampshire UK On Wednesday, 28 May 2014, 22:39, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, Missing Lincs,     Yes, this is my new e-mail address.  It is, so far, DMARC-proof, so my LINCSGEN mail gets delivered to me here.     I saw on another list that someone wondered why so many people moved about the country in the early 1800s.  Well, they didn't have smart phones, apparently, so I guess they couldn't get all the answers by staying home!  Sorry, those of us who have followed a smart-phone user in the grocery store know about the urge to smash a smart-phone between two cans of beans.  :-)     No, the early 1800s were an interesting time.  Blockades were used to cut off supplies to Napoleon, and the blockades cut the supply of some markets to our ancestors in Lincolnshire, too.  When they were lifted about 1815, suddenly we had an influx of cheap goods, and unemployed soldiers and sailors.  The "Irish Potato Famine" in 1840, also affected potato growers in northern England and we had another influx of Irish labourers.  The first steam engine for commercial use was developed by James WATT in 1781 and began to be widely used for farming, industry, draining the fens, etc.  One of my ancestors apparently was fascinated by the steam engine and learned to drive a steam tractor.  From there he got a job driving a steam engine on the railroads, another new presence in the early 1800s.     So we had a lot going on in northern England and it was a time for some people to take advantage of the new jobs, others lost their jobs doue to industrialization.  The Luddites burned a lot of frame-work knitting machines, even the ones run by hand or horsepower.  There was some social unrest because of ideas that had been around since the French and American Revolutions and the government was committed to the idea of "one man, one vote", which was new and dangerous in the eyes of some.  Civil Registration came along, an obvious plot by the government to many folk and a lot of parish boundaries were "adjusted" to include areas that were outside their boundaries.     The first steamship was built in 1837 (the SS Sirius), which began reliable service over the oceans.     They must have been heady times.  You could move somewhere else where pay was better.  You could take your trade somewhere where it was needed.  You could go to one of the new countreis were land was free (or at least cheap), and own your own farm.  Wow!  It's actually a wonder more of them didn't go.       Lou (list admin.) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

He married Maria Barton on 15th May 1849 at Spalding, Lincolnshire, stating that he was a Mariner, of full age, the son of Charles Parker, a labourer. Shortly after the marriage the couple move from Lincolnshire to Wakefield, West Yorkshire. On all the Census forms he is consistent with his date and place of birth. Samuel Parker died 27th April 1878 at Thornes, Wakefield. His age is given as 55 in the record and 56 on the headstone. Maria died 22nd March 1895 aged 69. I have even tried tracing Samuel through his sister Ann who married a John Parker on 19th May 1847 at New Seaford. Ann claimed that her father, Charles, was a shepherd. The census forms for Ann are disastrous. 1851 census for New Quarrington:    aged 38    place of birth "Not Known" 1861 census for Kirton Fen:        aged 49    born in Kent, Sussex 1871 census for Sutterton Fen:        aged 58    born in Sussex 1881 census for Amber Hill:        aged 68    place of birth missing Some of you may remember that I asked the same question a few years ago, and I apologise for being boring.

    1. [LIN] Alexander Markham of Antrim [!!!]
    2. Bart Simon
    3. Hello: From the onset, I understand which list I am on. I do some side line searches for others. A recent one is for Alexander Markham who suddenly appears in Antrim Ireland, quite easy to identify there, a Quartermaster in the army, at a printer in Belfast, connects to [Randalstown], [Cushendall], [Roseville, Greenisland, Carrickfergus], a CORONER of some note and well mentioned for this all over, his primary occupation for most of his life there. He m:1836 Sophia Hulbert Falloon dg of [Marcus Smith Falloon, (Rector Layde Church)] + [Maria Jane Wolseley]. AM dies about 15-07-1876 aged 79/80 years old and probably residing at [Roseville, Greenisland, Ireland], Roseville is the name of the property in Greenisland. AM is then b:1796-1797 or so. The real problem here is that whilst a fair amount is known about him, there is a complete lack of any further on him for any brother/sister, or parents, place of birth, just a complete void. He does seem fairly well to do, many of the people he associates himself with have Scottish origins, he marries and lives amongst people in the realms of clergy, military, and upper class Irish/Scottish persons etc. His one son [Alexander Macaulay Markham, Esq. B.C.S.] m:1861 to [Christina MacLeod], her brother being: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_McLeod_%28New_Brunswick_politician%29 Simply, all I am interested in at this point in time, is to know of any Alexander Markham b:1796-1797 in maybe Ireland, Scotland, or England, or elsewhere. I can’t find even one any where.... Any ideas ?. B.S. [!!!] ==============

    2. Alan Bird
    3. Can't help you with your William, but I do have some families of that name from the Gedney/Long Sutton/Sutton St James area. If it helps any, the name HAINES can often be recorded as HAYNES, HANES, HEANES (as most of my family were), HAINS or HEANS. Sometimes they went by a different surname every decade at each census time! Perhaps the local accent could have thrown the enumerator. So it might be worthwhile extending your search a bit to explore these variations. Alan
