Hi Folks, I am working my way through the recently release Nottinghamshire Transcriptions on Find My Past some 303 baptisms 252 marriages and 108 deaths, at the same time trying to put the families together. I have lots of John's, William's and Mary's and Samuel is proving to be a poplar name too, so it is proving a bit of a nightmare, however some successes. I have two particular baptisms which are included in the transcriptions which appear to be in Austerfield , the church of St Helena, as far as I can make out this falls in the Doncaster RD. When I came across the second one I thought this has to be the same family but since one occurs in 1881 and the other in 1715, obviously not. Can anyone explain why two Baptisms so far apart in years would be recorded in Nottinghamshire Transcriptions? Paul 2627 Up to his neck in Featherstone's and variants

Hi Paul On the face of it ,since Austerfield is in South Yorkshire, formerly West Riding of Yorkshire and lies on the Yorkshire /Nottingham border. If you check St Helena church Austerfield it ,currently, is in the diocese of Nottingham and Southwell Hope this is of use Regards Richard -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of W Paul Featherstone via Sent: 05 February 2015 15:43 To: Goons Mailing-list Subject: [G] Nottinghamshire query Hi Folks, I am working my way through the recently release Nottinghamshire Transcriptions on Find My Past some 303 baptisms 252 marriages and 108 deaths, at the same time trying to put the families together.

So it could be just the Church of choice? although the later baptism was register in the Doncaster RD. So that maybe throws a spanner in the works, I need to follow up with Census extracts which might give me a clue as to where the family was, but the list of "to find out more" is growing Paul 2627 On 05/02/2015 16:16, Richard Hooke wrote: > Hi Paul > On the face of it ,since Austerfield is in South Yorkshire, formerly West > Riding of Yorkshire and lies on the Yorkshire /Nottingham border. > If you check St Helena church Austerfield it ,currently, is in the diocese > of Nottingham and Southwell > Hope this is of use > Regards > Richard > > -----Original Message----- > From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On > Behalf Of W Paul Featherstone via > Sent: 05 February 2015 15:43 > To: Goons Mailing-list > Subject: [G] Nottinghamshire query > > Hi Folks, > I am working my way through the recently release Nottinghamshire > Transcriptions on Find My Past some 303 baptisms 252 marriages and 108 > deaths, at the same time trying to put the families together. > > I have lots of John's, William's and Mary's and Samuel is proving to be a > poplar name too, so it is proving a bit of a nightmare, however some > successes. > > I have two particular baptisms which are included in the transcriptions > which appear to be in Austerfield , the church of St Helena, as far as I can > make out this falls in the Doncaster RD.
