Hi John Pilgrim, farmer/agricultural labourer, wife Elizabeth Croft & family emigrated from Wellingore to North America in 1852. They must have experienced the potato blight and it's possible that this was why they emigrated. Does anyone know of information about the effect of the blight in specific parts of Lincolnshire, particularly Wellingore? Does anyone know about organisations providing assisted passages to USA around that time?

Hi Lou, I am very interested in any material about the Potato famine as it related to Lincolnshire especial my family area from Peterborough through Bourne and Spalding, which in those days, was a big potato growing area. As for missing rellies, I am almost sure that at least 4 members of my family from Langtoft Lincolnshire also died as a result of some disaster or other from 1852 onward, my question to you is this, do you have any idea what may have been the cause. As I have said to you, it is very quite on eng-lincsgen, so I agree with your own comments.

Bazza, The death certificates will give you the cause of death. I think they cost about 7 or 8 pounds as I recall, but I've found them to be worth the cost because you find out all kinds of interesting things, not only cause of death, but who was 'present at the death' etc. Joan Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barry Wilson via Sent: March 18, 2015 10:37 AM To: lr_mills; [email protected] Subject: Re: [LIN] Admin. note: The Potato Famine Hi Lou, I am very interested in any material about the Potato famine as it related to Lincolnshire especial my family area from Peterborough through Bourne and Spalding, which in those days, was a big potato growing area.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you that responded to my request for help with the above. I have a number of new lines to pursue as a result and think I'm almost sure that this branch does NOT actually lead back to Richard II of Normandy as is claimed on a few hundred trees on Ancestry. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is isn't it? Once again, many thanks for all your help.Carole.

Garth, There is a report in the Grantham Journal of 23 Feb 1902 of a Samuel Exton neglecting to send his daughter Alice to school. But he was a labourer from Ropsley. I can find nothing within your dates on Find My Past Newspaper archives.

Hi, Missing Lincs, I was just sent some material on Women's rights in Ireland prior to 1970. There weren't many! But it led to a discussion of the Potato Famine of the 1840s, which most people associate with Ireland alone. But the Potato Blight struck Linolnshire and other parts of England, as well as France and the low countries. In the case of Ireland, the Blight was hard because potatoes were the main commercial crop and often the primary food source for much of the population. Statistics show that Ireland at the time exported lots of other food products, but the dependency on the potato was devastating to the economy. I'm going to assume that a lot of our Lincolnshire rellies pulled up stakes and emigrated to those new lands where crops were easy to grow, land was cheap, and, in some cases, neighbors had gone before. Have you got any stories of Missing Lincs who uprooted themselves in the 1840s and moved on? Share. Lou (list admin.) PS: My you've been quiet lately!

At this period such a case may have been brought by the Guardians of the Poor Law Union and may be mentioned in the workhouse minutes. I have seen such cases mentioned in the minutes up to 1903 (haven't seen later ones). The court would probably be Petty Sessions before magistrates, Grantham Borough or a more local court? Lincolnshire Archives may have the minutes from the court session and may know which court would have tried the case. A Grantham area paper may be around by this time but try also the Stamford Mercury, Lincolnshire Chronicle and the Lincolnshire Echo.

Hi there, Mike Credland's Book,"The First World War Memorials of Lincolnshire" gives details and a photograph of this Memorial on page 134. The book was published by the Society of Lincolnshire History and Archaeology in 2014 and is a Gazetteer of nearly 300 War Memorials in Lincolnshire. Stories of some of the Men on the memorials ,their Regiments and the Architects and Masons are included. I have done a review of the book for May edition of LFHS Journal. You can get details via "[email protected]". I have no financial interest in the book but Mike is a friend! All the best and Remember those who gave their lives for us.

Hi, Missing Lincs, Perhaps one of you can help me out. There's an old iron church in Martin Dales, dedicated to Saint Hugh. It's not an impressive building since it was originally just a chapel of ease. Standing in front of the building is a War Memorial. I have in my notes a record that the parish council was planning on refurbishing the monument back in 2006, but I don't know if they ever did it. They also wanted to add two names to the monument, but I've never seen a list of the names. They also recorded in the council minutes that they thought about moving the monument because the church hall might be sold. So, what is the current state of the monument and where is it now? Does anyone have the list of names it records? Here's a photograph of the old War Memorial in front of the church hall: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/523856 Lou

Hello Carole and Mike. I am stuck a good century later than you with the Holmes family. I have another Isaac Holes who appears in Wellingore in the late 1770s having children with his wife Eleanor. I have no idea when they married (probably about 1775-6) nor where, but have always suspected they were connected to the Ruskington Holmeses. I wonder if either of you can help me? Their marriage does not seem to be included in the LFHS marriage indeces or the Notts. F.H.S. Marriage indeces either so it would appear to have gone unrecorded. I am hopeful that one day I may come across a will which will link Isaac and Eleanor to earlier members of their families. I would particularly like to trace Eleanor as her name has been used in every other generation of the family for eight generation. My own mother Brenda Helen being the last in the line, the tradition stopping due to the fact she had just one grandson!
