The following is, I think, the link between your Harriet and John Ramsden. Harriet was in the 1911 census living in Leeds (Wharfdale registration district), Yorkshire BLACKBURN, James Head Widower M 56 b.1855 Scarbo Yorks WHITTON, Harriet Sister Widow F 46 b.1865 Owersby Lincolnshire WHITTON, Arthur Nephew Single M 20 b.1891 Bilsby Lincolnshire Harriet Whitton marriage to Hartley Smith in Wharfdale RD recorded in Q4 1917 Hartley Smith death in Wharfdale RD recorded in Q3 1919 Harriet Smith marriage to John W Ramsden in Wharfdale RD recorded in Q2 1920 I didn't follow the chain any further!

Angela This is likely to be Easton-on-the Hill, Northamptonshire, which is a couple of miles to the south of Stamford, Lincs.  Stamford was then on the border of both Rutland and Northamptonshire, less than 10 miles south of Careby, and Clipsham is just off the Great North Road, a few miles to the west of Careby and a few miles to the north of Stamford.  If you contact me off list, I can give you a few MEADWELL marriages in Easton which may help you trace Henry's parents.

Madeline - as you have the death certificate could you tell us where John BURTON died. This may be helpful in tracking down a newspaper report. Actual Coroner's reports were not usually retained and a newspaper report is going to be the most likely source for any further information.

I wonder if anyone can shed light on a mystery. Harriett Dawson Fletcher, daughter of William Dawson Fletcher and Jane Stuble/Stubbleday was baptised in North Owersby 2 Jul 1865. I have a marriage certificate giving the following information: Marriage certificate: October 1, 1889 Parish Church in the parish of Bilsby William Hopson Whitton, age full, Widower, Farmer, Bilsby, Father Tobias Whitton, Builder Harriett Dawson Fletcher, age full, Spinster, Bilsby, Father William Dawson Fletcher, Farmer Witnesses: Maria Wilkinson and John Carter. This is clearly "my" Harriett. However, members of the family who still live in the Horncastle area, and the family bible (which I do not have but which I believe to have been put together from memory rather than as the events occurred) maintain that Harriett married a John Ramsden, and one of my cousins still remembers Harriett and John Ramsden as a couple. I have searched every BMD record of a John Ramsden marrying a Harriet (with variation of the spelling) but cannot find one. I did find that William Hopson Whitten died 1910 (registered Spilsby March 1910). Any thoughts, anyone? I realize that "widow Harriet Whitton" might have simply moved in with John Ramsden but am wondering if there is any other explanation, or perhaps there are records that I have not yet accessed.

Dear Listers. A very old sticking point which went by the board in early research. Although being on the List for several years there was never a REDSHAW in sight or sound! It seemed they were very reluctant to move around and stay settled in a particular area. They still appear Lincolnshire in 1500s. The only two I found who actually moved out of Lincs was my late husband's Grandfather - a Groom - who went over the Humber to Selby Yorks as a groom and had a very large family - perhaps he got an offer he could not refuse. The other was a Gt.Uncle off to Canada, built a Timber business which still thrives today. However where I am stuck is at the GT.Gt.Grandfather Edward REDSHAW Birth C1782 and could find no baptism and thus do not know his parents. This also prevents me from knowing which "clan" of the REDSHAWS he belonged to, and can get no further back.. not many marriages around the 1782 time - how to pick one and prove it ?? Edward was Married Frampton to Mary Storey 1814, children born Sutterton where he was farming. Then moved to Rauceby were last child was born 1827, to the Bluebell Public House, and he seemed to have "flirted" with Non-Conformists. Three of his five offspring were baptised and could never find out why the other two were not - till I was looking and found they had been Registered at Dr.William's Library. Redcross Street, near Cripplegate London March 9th 1821, this took care of the 1819 and 1821 births - why would they have been registered and not the formal church baptism? Fortunatelywas able to take copies. I have a copy of "Stability and Change" Rauceby and Edward appears in there a time or two. He died in 1838. Mary his wife took over the Blubell. Sorry it is a lengthy tale , but I have long been wanting to ask for help, hope no-one will mind. Kind Regards, Renee Oz.

Hi Joan, Bart & Listers ! There are many streets with names like these in many towns and cities across the North & East of England and Scotland - in all the areas where the Vikings once settled - the names have nothing to do with a hinged metal or wooden barrier which can be opened or shut as needed i.e. The English 'gate'. They are derived from the common word for a street in the Scandinavian languages - e.g. Danish and Norwegian 'gate' or Swedish 'gata' (and some similar words in Icelandic and Faroese). One of the most unusual is to be found in the City of York - it rejoices in the name of 'Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate'. Best Wishes to All !

Hi, Missing Lincs,     The list is getting about 4 spam messages a day and all, so far, have been caught by the Rootsweb e-mail filters.  I get to review them and delete them daily.     I also need to remind a few of you that the mailing list software will not allow "formatted" messages to post.  Those would be messages with HTML markup tags or what we used to call "pretty text".  Most e-mail software, for some reason, comes with that feature as the default mode.  It lets you add a signature line in purple script or to format your paragraphs in block style, et cetera.  But it also allows malicious text to be imbedded (like viruses).     So, to post to the list, you have to set your message to "plain text".  Somewhere in your e-mail software there is a "button" or a menu item that will do that.  Look it up in the "Help" menu if you can't easily find it.  I really want to see your posts, but we don't get to see them if they are "pretty".     That said, I have to add that I found "Innocent" as a surname in Derbyshire, mid 1800s.         LKou (list admin.)
