Hello Carole, I think it's assumed that Isaac Holmes was born/baptised in 1635 in Ruskington. The records seem to have been quite badly damaged so I have never found proof. I've never found his marriage either. Don't know if they are on Bishop's Transcripts. His burial is recorded "Isaac Holmes yeoman Oct ? 1711" A copy of his inventory is on Lincs to the Past. He seems to have been quite prosperous. If you aren't familiar with Lincs to the P I can tell you about it or send you a copy. It gives access to images of parish registers and other documents in the original. I have a copy of Isaac's will which I can send you if you are interested. He left everything to wife Ann and son Thomas, who he also named as his executors. William and John, his other sons, got a shilling each. Hope this is of some help. Regards Mike Hartford (7x great grandson) Would anyone be able to give me some advice please on how to proceed with searching for the above person. Apart from other family trees on Ancestry where there is no official source, the only proof I have of his existence is his son William's baptism record of 25 Dec 1670 where he is named as the father together with his wife Anne. I have searched on various FH sites on line. Is this a job I would have to continue at the Archives by searching through the parish registers? Any help and pointers gratefully received. Carole.

Hello, Regarding the *Isaac Holmes* family in _Ruskington_ and nearby villages, my *Beard, Edwards, Holmes* and other families lived in this area. There are several entries listed at the _FreeReg.UK.org_ site for many of the Holmes families, and they often include parents names, abode, Church, occupation, and often names of witnesses. I am not aware of a connection to an 'Isaac' but I don't have a great deal on the *Holmes* families at this point. You can access this site from the _www.rootsweb.com_ home page in the right column, next to the BMD Index files.

Hi, Missing Lincs, Just a note to tell you that I'm having problems accessing some of the Ancestry/Rootsweb site today, so you might also. Attempts to get to our mailing list archives brings me to an "offer" page asking me to subscribe to the service. And I can't log in to check for messages that are held up for some reason. But the mailing list appears to be working fine. Lou (list admin.)

Jane - I would assume they are still in the Muniments Room of Burghley House.  That was their location when Eric Till wrote his book on the Cecils "A Family Affair" in 1990.  You could try contacting the curator - details on the Burghley House website.

Hi James, I haven't found the marriage but in the 1871 census there is a Mary Ann Kelley (born in Spalding at about the same time as a Mary Ann musson was registered there in July 1838) with a husband Thomas (also born in Spalding), which may answer who she married.

Hi Lou I think you are listing all the war memorials in Lincolnshire. I wonder if you have one for Ludford. I visited Ludford a few days ago and took a photo of the War Memorial. The names listed only had the initials but I also walked through the cemetery and found a headstone for the two brothers Briggs (listed on the war memorial. I took a photo of the memorial and headstone as well as the church. If you haven't got these I will happily send you a copy Victor

Hi My Nurserymen ( and women) are the NORTHs of Louth. They seem to have started out as shoemakers. Then between 1817 and 1821 William NORTH (b 1793) became a "gardener" and by 1851 a "market gardener". His son Jesse NORTH (b 1837) and some of Jesse's children seem to have carried on the business. Jesse's Granddaughter Jessie (b 1896) was also in the business. One of Williams Children , Lucy (b 1834) was a grocer and shopkeeper in 1871/2 but whether she was selling William's produce I have no idea.

The last marriage in the spreadsheet alphabetically by parish for the March quarter of 1860 is at West Pinchbeck and the page number for that marriage (Ladd/Capes) is 441 (7a 441 on Free BMD). Nonconformist and register office marriages are listed on the pages following all the C of E marriages therefore the marriages on page number 452 are either nonconformist or register office. You will need to purchase the certificate.

Mary married Thomas Kelley, and in 1861 they are living in Hulme, Lancashire. As far as I can tell from the Spalding introduction page of the 1837+ Marriage Index all the C of E churches have had their registers for 1860 transcribed. Which leaves non-conformist chapels /churches and Spalding register office as the remaining 'culprits'. I doubt very much that register office entries will ever appear in the Index as those registers are not held at Lincoln Archives. Ditto with most non-conformist registers. Anne Cole might be able to give you a precise answer, but I would say that if you want to know any details of the marriage then you're going to have to send for the certificate.

In 1877 my grandfather Torbjorn Auestad, was born in Etna, Skaanevik, Norway. He emigrated to Louth, Lincs about 1895, speaking no English at first. He married my grandmother in 1900 and bought a house on 5 acres on Legbourne Road. He converted about an acre into a fruit orchard, mostly apples but also a few plums and a pear tree. He also built a pig sty with a chicken coop over the top. I don't know if it was his intent to sell the fruit at that time, but it was a good source of income for my father and our family when we moved into the property after Torbjorn's death in 1936. The last time I was in Louth, I was horrified to see that the old house had been 'renovated' to a larger size, and the surrounding land had become a building site. A complete sub-division had taken the place of the orchard. My only consolation was that the old oak tree that my father climbed when he was a boy, was still standing, although showing its age a bit. They say you can't go back, and I wish I hadn't! Joan Van Daalen

you would need to contact the parish clerk, if St Benedict's have a website it should name their clerk, they should know if there is a plan of the churchyard or not, but it tends to be very hit and miss.  In St Clement Dane's in Fiskerton they have a list of the transcribed gravestones with a plan to show where they are, in one churchyard I went to in Droxford Hampshire, they had to plan drawn out for you to see and hung on the wall of the church by the small gift shop area, and in Devon they have a parish clerk on line service, where they will look things up in the registers and on plans and email you straight back, but unfortunately it is totally random and no centralised standards exist, (more's the pity). regardsElaine WestawayHampshireUK On Tuesday, 3 March 2015, 13:55, Ruth Wright via <[email protected]> wrote: Further to this inquiry, does anyone know if there is a plan of the graveyard for St. Benedict's Church, so I can narrow down where the graves might be?

Hello Missing Lincs, Well, I know that you are looking forward to Spring (once that wicked snow disappears). March 11th is celebrated in many parts of America as Johnny Appleseed day. John CHAPMAN died on March 18th in 1845. As with many things that happened in the 1800s, the date of death is disputed, but that is a good time of year, normally, to plant an apple tree. Now, most of Johnny's apples were not the sweet edible kind, they were baking or cider apples. Apple seeds often don't bear the same fruit as the fruit you just ate, which is why many table apples are grafted onto healthy rootstock. Even the apple that fell on Isaac Newton was reputedly a cider apple. Isaac didn't tell us. He was off on a gravity trip. Who do you have in your Lincolnshire bunch who planted a nursery? Most of us have a lot of Ag. Labs, but not nurserymen. Come on, share. And plant an apple tree this spring in memory of your relatives. Lou (list admin.)

Further to this inquiry, does anyone know if there is a plan of the graveyard for St. Benedict's Church, so I can narrow down where the graves might be?
