    2. Wendy McGuire
    3. Looking for background about 6th great-grandmother Anne Donnor who married Richard Piccard 6 May 1739, Great Carlton, Lincoln. They had six children. Who were Anne's parents and when/where was she born? Thanks for your insights. Wendy McGuire

    1. [LIN] Sarah CAMMACK
    2. Rex Johnson
    3. Hello again John, I believe I have just discovered your Sarah Cammack in the 1841 Census - at SAXELBY, with  father George (perhaps he was a George Thomas), aged 46, and mother Catherine, aged 37, except she is down as ELIZABETH aged 14. There are also four younger brothers, which I have not yet recorded, along with a couple of ag lab boarders (George was a farmer). In the 1851 census, George has disappeared, and Catherine is the head of the household at Saxilby, farmer of 93 acres with three ag lab, and a servant employed. Elizabeth is now 23 and is a 'daughter at home', unmarried,  with other children again listed. I wish I had £1 for every female who has caused me confusion by changing from Ann to Hannah, Mary to Elizabeth, or Helen, or Jane or etc., etc.. Could it be that your difficlties have been caused by a name change at some point in life, as Sarah 'fancied' herself up a bit. I am here in Messingham where we are recovering from the snows of recent days. I have found in my researches that Messingham and Saxillby have definitely had links in years gone by - a number of my marriages involve both villages (and Gainsborough) probably as a results of he traffic down the River Trent - the watermen and movement of goods. I can't be sure I am on the right track above. What do you think? Best regards, Rex

    1. [LIN] Re: William COLLINGWOOD
    2. Hello Susan Thanks for your interest and download. I had already downloaded the register page with the 1782 and 1783 burials from Lincs to the Past. It is from the Fulbeck General Register 1708-1786. I think you are correct in thinking that the entries may have been copied from an earlier disintegrating document. On this page and some of the following pages there are a number of entries on pieces of paper which have been scanned on top of the clearly written entries in the book. It looks like that someone was copying the entries from these scraps of paper into a new register. Unfortunately I could find no more 1783 burials on these scraps of paper. This is why I asked if anyone had the Bishop's Transcripts in the hope that all the entries around that date had been sent to them. It did occur to me that the William COLLINGWOOD buried in 1782 might be my ancestor and that the headstone could have been incorrectly transcribed, but I tend to think that this is not the case. William's son Thomas is buried in the same grave and shares the same headstone and the date for his death is two days before the recording of his burial in the register, which is what one expect. There are a number of other COLLINGWOOD headstone transcriptions given in the document and these all check-out with the entries in the Burial Register. Looking at the 1782 burial entry that took place on the 2 Dec, one would have expected the death to have occurred about two or more days before the burial i.e. in November. So the transcription would have had to be very badly transcribed to make this explanation fit. On the other hand I have not been able to allocate the 1782 burial correctly to anyone in my tree. I will send an image of the transcriptions directly to your email address. In my search for Frances I've tried looking at Notts marriages since Fulbeck is very close to the Newark parishes. Frances Collingwood was buried in Fulbeck in 1815, but the burial register gives her abode at death as Barnby in the Willows, Notts. I would be interested to hear more about the COLLINGWOOD marriage in your tree.

The register copies I have show a William COLLINGWOOD as buried 2 DEC 1872. That makes a bit of a difference, yes? I wonder if his headstone was not quite as legible as someone thought.

One of my collateral lines has a COLLINGWOOD marriage and my 2x WINTER great grandparents lived in Fulbeck (as did many of William WINTER's HAWBROOK/AUBROOK kin), so I have many good records from there. I still have had no luck on Frances. I cast a wider net than Lincs, but so far nothing I can call promising.

    2. Hello Jan I think it is possible that we may be distantly related. I have both BIRKETT's and CROSSBY's in my tree. Elizabeth COLLINGWOOD my 3x Great Great Aunt married Richard BIRKETT in Fulbeck on 13 July 1793. One of their daughters was Elizabeth BIRKETT bap. 29 Dec 1821 in Newark Upon Trent, Notts. At the moment I have not followed this line any further. My direct descendants were William COLLINGWOOD and Frances ? My line then goes through George MINNITT bap. 1773 and Frances COLLINGWOOD bap. 1776 to George MINNITT bap. 1801 and Sarah LUMB bap. 1816. George's eldest sister Mary Ann Minnitt bap. 1803 married Benjamin CROSBY in Coleby on 4 May 1830. Do any of these BIRKETT's and CROSBY'S fit your tree. I also have a Great Uncle Thomas Leach SKINNER who emigrated from Lansallos, Cornwall to Grant County, Wisconsin.

    3. I would like to find the origins of Sarah CAMMACK. The details I have are - She was born at Saxilby in 1826/27 (from 1851/61 census). I have not been able to find her baptism. Sarah not found in 1841 census. Sarah had a daughter named Eliza in February 1843 at Fillingham Lincolnshire, presumably illegitimately. Her daughter Eliza died aged one month old. Sarah married John TINDALL in May 1849 at Gainsborough Parish Church. Both gave their home address as Thonock, Gainsborough, at time of marriage. Sarah stated that her father was Thomas CAMMACK, a labourer, on the marriage Parish Register. They had eight children, the first born at Fillingham, and the others at Messingham Lincolnshire. Sarah died at Messingham in late 1863 soon after the birth of their eighth child, aged 37 years. I have not been able find her baptism, parents, nor establish as to whether she was actually born at Saxilby. Sarah CAMMACKs origins have been a brick wall for me for at least ten years. If anyone can help with suggestion it would be greatly appreciated. John Hiles. PS - A Sarah CAMMACK was born in Frithville in about 1827.

I have been searching for information on Frances for many years without success. William's first wife Elizabeth BURBIDGE was buried on 22 Dec 1771 and Frances's first child was baptised on 24 Jun 1773 so presumably William and Frances's marriage took place at some time between these dates. I have had no success in breaking down this brick wall. From the age given on Frances's headstone in the Fulbeck graveyard she was born in 1744. Another of piece of information I have been unable to find is the burial date of William COLLINGWOOD. According to the information on his headstone he died on 6 Dec 1783. I am assuming that he was probably buried on or after 8 Dec. The Fulbeck General Register 1708-1786, PAR/1/2 lists burials for 1783, but does not list William COLLINGWOOD. The burials for that year seem to stop at 6 Dec. Does anyone have access to the Bishop's Transcripts for 1783? The Fulbeck Baptisms and Burials Register 1787-1812, PAR/1/4 contains on Images 16-29 transcriptions, done in 1870, of the headstones then readable in the Fulbeck graveyard. This was my source for William's death date. Thanks for any help that might be forthcoming Leonard Skinner

    2. Missing Lincs William COLLINGWOOD bap. 1744 and his second wife Frances are my 4xgreatgrandparents. I have been searching for information on Frances for many years without success. William's first wife Elizabeth BURBIDGE was buried on 22 Dec 1771 and Frances's first child was baptised on 24 Jun 1773 so presumably William and Frances's marriage took place at some time between these dates. I have had no success in breaking down this brick wall. From the age given on Frances's headstone in the Fulbeck graveyard she was born in 1744. Another of piece of information I have been unable to find is the burial date of William COLLINGWOOD. According to the information on his headstone he died on 6 Dec 1783. I am assuming that he was probably buried on or after 8 Dec. The Fulbeck General Register 1708-1786, PAR/1/2 lists burials for 1783, but does not list William COLLINGWOOD. The burials for that year seem to stop at 6 Dec. Does anyone have access to the Bishop's Transcripts for 1783? The Fulbeck Baptisms and Burials Register 1787-1812, PAR/1/4 contains on Images 16-29 transcriptions, done in 1870, of the headstones then readable in the Fulbeck graveyard. This was my source for William's death date. Thanks for any help that might be forthcoming Leonard Skinner
