Hi Bart , Always good to read about the areas as yu can get some ideas. Genuki site is also a very good webiste to find out all sorts of things about Parishes http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Messingham/ While here, You may be right about Newbould being the place of birth for Ann, as our contact on genes has told me this morning there is a Newbould in Chesterfield, very close to Lincoln. havent searched to see if in Lincoln it doesnt show up in Genuki as being in Lincoln, so that is worth going into. Just in case it is correct. maybe just a coincidence but it seems a good chance it is right. So Chesterfield. The Thomas in the 1851 census was a Butcher so he may have been in that area.We havent got a place for the Elizabeth who married Thomas the mother of his children chr in Messingham, so could be her parish as well and maybe the marriage could show up there. I have also noted on my national burial index, the burial of Elizabeth mason of Mason of Messingham in childboirth. She had a baby Elizabeth 4th January 1821 and she died that day, Baby Elizabeth died 14th Janaury 1821. Thomas shows up as a widower in the 18851 census of Messingham a butcher, Francis his son head of house. However there is also a burial on the cd that lists a Thomas mason aged 64 in 1852. Thomas is alone in the 1841 census as well so it does look as it these are the parents of Ann and her siblings.

I am also including some the names from the 'Witness' section from freereg pages I have viewed. I have also added a few 'other' names, but mainly for Proctor/Mason research. Crowle is a hot spot!, Ealand of note!. The [] are from Rex's book url. You can search the rest of the book. The list is not complete.
