Hello Listers, My Lincolnshire ancestry starts with my mother's paternal grandmother, Diana SMITH (1854-1923), born in Kirton-in-Lindsey. After a good deal of winnowing I was able to trace her correct grandfather, John SMITH (1793-1864), shoemaker, innkeeper, and farmer, of Kirton-in-Lindsey, who belonged to a SMITH line from Scotter, Lincs. His parents were George SMITH (1762-1832), farmer, of Scotterthorpe, Scotter, Lincs., and his wife, Elizabeth ATKINSON (1766-1855). One of his younger brothers was the Primitive Methodist minister, Atkinson SMITH (1800-1852), about whose career a fair amount has been written. Despite his denomination, the SMITHs were normally Church of England folk. George SMITH's father was another George SMITH, a farmer, of Scotter, Lincs. He was born around 1700-1735, but I don't know more about him as I haven't yet found the right burial record for him. The earliest record I have is that, still a bachelor, he was married on 23 Nov. 1758 at Scotter to Tabitha GLUE or GLEW, a spinster, of Scawthorpe in Scotter, Lincs. Tabitha must have died sometime before 29 April 1789 as her widower George SMITH remarried to a widow named Ann RONTREE (presumably a variant of Rowntree) on that date at Cantley in Yorkshire. I cannot trace Tabitha GLUE/GLEW or her family at all, and wonder if anyone knows of it? With such a nice unusual name like that, I was hoping she might be a lot easier to find that my SMITH line, but so far no such luck! Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Linda and List I have SHARP/E ancestors, without the E but sometimes with, north of Pinchbeck. I haven't done research lately and not pre-registration but have some information from the old IGI: Marriage of Robert Sharp to Rebecca Brunt Spouse: Robert SHARP (AFN: CV3Z-VX) Marriage: 1830 West Keal Parish, Eng. And from my third cousin whom I met on the list: The address was just 'Village' so that wasn't much help.

Hello all, I have a puzzle. I have references for deaths of Frances and John WILKINSON, in Kirmond le Mire Parish records from Lincs to the Past. no.12, Frances Wilkinson, Kirmond, August 22nd 1830, 62 years, Thorpe (this is Curate) no.30, John Wilkinson May 13, South Willingham (abode), April 27 1841, 74 years, Edwd Gove, Curate I also have a Lincolnshire Monumental Inscription from findmypast for John: John Wilkinson, male, 74, birth year 1767, death year 1841, death date 24 Apr 1841, headstone notes: husband of Frances, burial ground St Martin, parish Kirmond le Mire, .... The 1841 census was night of 6 June, so John just missed it, but his son Thomas and family is in Kirmond in 1841 (They are in Binbrook in 1851) John and Frances (Lamming) were married in Binbrook, children all born in Hawerby cum Beesby, then Thomas was married in South Cockerington and children born in Kirmond. It seems I have the right John and that he and Frances moved to Kirmond with son Thomas, but I am puzzled. Do I ? I am puzzled by the May 13 written under his name on the parish record and the South Willingham location given. This location is further away than all the others, all right near each other. I have found no one else there either. Would they have moved the body? I think he may have come to stay with his son and then died there. And, the May 13? Might this be when the record was entered? Wife Frances' parish record entry was "omitted" according to a note on the edge of the paper and her 1830 death was entered after a 1831 death. Both entries were made late? Hers a year? Was this common? In her case, the deaths go 1824, 1831, 1830, 1832. What do you make of this? Are there any other records I can check? Opinions, please! Thanks Kathryne Natale New York, USA

Hi Linda If you go to Free Reg you can find a few Thomas SHARPs (no "E") born/bap in the area around Pinchbeck at about the right time. Maybe the names of his children might give a hint as to his father's name (very often the first born son) and you could try working from that information. Also sometimes a child might be given the name of a recently deceased sibling of either parent. Good luck! Elizabeth Pugh Whitehorse, Yukon Canada

Hi fellow researchers My bugaboo is part of the collective Lincolnshire Sharp/Sharp query: 4th great grandfather, Thomas SHARPE, born abt. 1734 but where? He lived in Pinchbeck. Marriage entry for Thomas SHARPE and Rachel KERLEW states that he was at that time of the parish of Pinchbeck. He was buried 24 May 1782 St. Mary & St. Nicholas Age 49, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. Can anyone help me find his parents and birth/baptism parish? Thanks Linda B.C.

Hi, Karen, I see from the headers on your e-mail that you are using Mac OS, and I am not familiar with Mac software for handling e-mail. But the idea of "mailing lists" when they were first established was that they were a place for people to share, so replies were generally sent back to the whole list. Some e-mail software on desktop systems can be set to override that and allow you to "default" to the individual poster, but the list itself sends out e-mail with a "reply-to" address of the list. We're all in this pot together. As a "list owner" or admin., I don't see this sharing as "clogging up the list", but that is a personal bias. I do know that some topics get a lot more attention than others. Considering how easy it is for most people just to delete any unwanted e-mail, I don't consider this "broadcast" style too big a burden on anyone. On lists that are set to reply only to the poster, people complain that they don't see the replies. But when you have your Mac e-mail open, see what options it supports for incoming e-mail. My old software package used to allow me to override the list settings, but this one does not.

Hi, Missing Lincs, We've all had this experience. Mislaying something and not being able to find it. When you replace it, the original one magically re-appears. I lost a note from my doctor's office about an appointment, so I went 'round and got a new one from the doctor's receptionist. Got home and moved some grocer bags off of the counter and lo' and behold, there was the original note. Dang. We used to blame those forest elves and wood nymphs, but now we've got long medical names for this, like Forgetalotsia. So I'm asking all of you to review your list of Lincolnshire ancestors and find one who seems forgotten (or unfinished). Post what you've got and let's see if we can fill in the blanks.

I am searching for the Will/Probate, if it exists, of John Arthur Worsop who died on 29 Aug 1818, and is interred at Luddington St Oswald. The Worsop family had homes at Garthorpe LIN,Howden ERY, and Doncaster. I cannot find the record in the York Consistory Court Wills index, so would be grateful is some kind soul could could please check the Lincoln Consistory Court wills and administrations 1800-1858 index, which I believe is available as a Lincolnshire Family History Society CD. Thanks.

Hi Anne What a fabulous resource - thanks for sharing. It seems strange that the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census all refer to Whistley Bridge Road yet it doesn't appear on a map of the time. The map will be useful any way. Many thanks.

Hi Roger, Looking at an old OS map covering the period 1888-1913, Fishtoft Drove existed then with Church Lane heading north from it. Look at http://explorer.geowessex.com/ which is primarily for the Dorset area but does cover quite a large area of the country as well. On the home map page, at the RHS choose Ordnance Survey maps from the Base layer, (first rectangle shape below* ?*) then from Layers control (second box -2 rectangles superimposed) click on OS historic maps, then the one you want from the opened list, I looked at NLS OS 6 Inches to the Mile Second Edition (1888 - 1913). I had located Boston first then zoomed in after I had chosen the right historic period. I cannot see a Whistley Bridge Road near to Fishtoft.

Hi Eric Thanks for your reply. Looking at the census data I believe that Whistley Bridge Road is the road now called Fishtoft Drove or possibly Church Road. The 1901 census however describes Whistley Bridge Road as a western boundary Fishtoft Drove which doesn't make total sense if I was correct. I was hoping someone with an old map could clarify. As the dwelling still existed in 1911 I thought it may still exist today and I could see where my ancestors lived. Regards.

Hello Roger, It would appear to be one of the areas out in the East, West, Wildmore and Holland Fens to the north of Boston were allotted to the surrounding established parishes - there is reference to the road in William Henry Wheeler's History of the Fens of South Lincolnshire https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=edL1AAAAQBAJ&pg=PA71&lpg=PA71&dq=whistle y+bridge+boston&source=bl&ots=bXSPep_Wbz&sig=xwVuyeE67R69NuciNddWczip9X8&hl= en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiUqsfmgYrMAhUGCw8KHaUdD08Q6AEIKjAC#v=onepage&q=whistley%2 0bridge%20boston&f=false The maps I produced for the Gazetteer of place names in Lincolnshire published by the Lincolnshire family History Society show how the various parts of these new drained Fens were carved up. These were known as Fen Allotments. Fishtoft received parcels in three of the Fens (not Holland Fen) parts of which were subsequently transferred to newly formed Parishes, Frithville and Langriville c 1880. Therefore to try and narrow it down which year is your reference and the source? It might help narrow down the map search parameter.

I don't use on line tree builder. I use Family Historian and it now provides an indicator between names on my tree and names on My Heritage as well as Find My Past. This is similar to the links on Family Tree Maker and Ancestry. I do have FTM as a secondary tree software simply to provide the links to other peoples trees on Ancestry which has been a boon. I only subscribe to Ancestry and I am sure the others are just as good but have no intention to subscribe to them. There is, after all, a limit to what you subscribe to and much depends on how often you will use the subscription. I don't think I would spend enough time looking at trees on MH and FMP to justify the cost.

Barb, I am an American. I signed up last year for a reduced rate trial subscription. I connected to a two people working on the same family and it was helpful. They were not on the other American giant, Ancestry.com. However, I did not renew my subscription because I thought their database was not as big as Ancestry and the family members they sent me were only a couple of generations back and I already had the info. The big problem is the automatic renewal. I had heard there was a problem in unsubscribing, so I contacted them on the website about a week before the subscription ended and told the I did not want to renew. The website noted the subscription ended. When the date passed I got a notice from them that they had renewed me and taken the money from my credit card. I had to contact the person in the email to tell them not to renew and return my payment.. They eventually did, but I thought it was a hassle.

Hi Barbara I am afraid I don't know that much about it, I don't use any online tree builder I have of course heard of it and know its grown over the years, but as to how good it is or secure I have no idea I did test it out some years ago but can't honestly remember anything about it now Like all such sites I would take great care before accepting what they put your way, whether thats records or other peoples research, double check everything before accepting it Sorry I can't help you on this occasion but perhaps someone else is using it and can give you more on it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 08/04/2016 23:04, Barbara Paris wrote: > Hello Nivard. > > I recently downloaded the free basic MyHeritage.
