    1. [NTT] Mary Harriett WILLIAMS
    2. Kate
    3. Mary Harriett WILLIAMS born c.1856 married Thomas BOYINGTON 31.12.1873. Marriage entry has brides father as Henry WILLIAMS (Deceased) Teacher of Languages. In 1861 Mary and brother Edward are orphans in the workhouse. 1871 Edward is an orphan working as an errand boy. 1881 Mary is married to Thomas BOYINGTON and Edward is a boarder in their home. I'm trying to find information on the WILLIAMS family. It's possible that Mary was born in Lincolnshire. Unfortunately it appears that Mary and Edward's parents married and died between census' but I'm hoping someone can find something for me to move on with. Thanks, Kate.

    1. [NTT] WW1 1915, 8 Vernon Street, Worksop, Notts
    2. Julia Pannell
    3. Hi Notts list, My thanks to those who responded to my query on the above topic -Dai, Peter R Booth, Nivard, Cliff who provided very useful information and suggestions. Apologies if I have missed anyone. I've confirmed that [William Charles] Joseph, aged 12 years, was an inmate in the Abbeyhurst Workhouse Children's Home (Boys) and his younger brother, Victor, ditto (Mixed) aged 8 years in the 1911 census. I have details already of Joseph's whereabouts in the 1901 census. Their mother, Jane Ellen, died in London, in 1905, leaving a newborn, and two sons aged 2 and 5. The newborn died not long after in Worksop, so it's POSSIBLE that their father, Charles Joseph Bunyan took the children from London to their mother's family in Worksop. POSSIBLY, in the 1911 census at 8 Pelham Street, Worksop, the grandparents of Joseph and Victor are Samson Heath, wife Sarah Elizabeth, together with their children Frederick Charles, Albert William, Henry Victor, George Thomas, May Edith and a grandson Herbert William. I am awaiting some ordered certificates to confirm the Heath connection. If there are any Bunyans or Heaths connected to this family out there, I would love to hear from them. Thanks again, Julia in Adelaide, South Australia "Private Joseph Bunyan (Canadians) enlisted in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force in 1915. He states that he was born in Portsmouth [Hampshire] ca 1898 and gives his next of kin as his Grandfather, Mr J? Heath, who lives at 8 Vernon Street, Worksop, Nottinghamshire. I have a date of birth index for him in 1900, Alverstoke, Hampshire. It would not be unusual for young men enlisting in WW1 to put up their age. He may also have arrived in Canada in 1913 as a 'farm boy'. Does Nottinghamshire have any directories on line which I could search, please? Also, I would be interested to hear from anyone with a connection to Bunyan and Heath families."

    3. I think I have solved my own problem. I already had the marriage of Joseph WOOLIN from Family Search (new) and this mentioned Non- Conformist. I hadn't taken this further but it provided a link to BMDregisters.co.uk (pay to view) which covers inter alia non conformists records.   I have just explored this site and I found Elizabeth born 1715, North Collingham and she was daughter of Joseph WOOLIN as I suspected. The site is very useful and has lead me find other birth, marriages and burials of this family.  Thanks to Peter Booth for helpful suggestions. Clive Boyce ________________________________

    3. Clive, I just didn't want you to think that nobody reads your message. But if they were non conformist, there's probably no records to find. We're getting right back into early records. Could I suggest you check the Hugh Wallis batch site to see what records and timeframes are available for the various parishes you mention? You might also check the Family Search library catalogue for those same parishes to see if other records may be available on fiche or film and not on IGI. And if you haven't tried recently, you might try the new Family Search site to see if any new records have been added since you last looked. Peter

    3. Julia, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. It seems more than who was living in Vernon St. The most obvious thing seems to be to see who Joseph Bunyan was living with in 1901 (parents?) and 1911 (grandfather?). You might also check FreeBMD for a Bunyan / Heath marriage say 1890-1905, probably in Hampshire. I think the minimum enlistment age was 18. Many, many younger than that put their ages up so the could get in. Peter

    3. Lady's companion was a recognised occupation for many years.I remember advertisements in "The Lady" in my youth in the 1950s (my grandmother took it!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady's_companion I have several such on both sides - employer and employee - the most interesting being a woman who was widowed at 33. Her next census entry in 1881 gives her occupation as Lady's companion and journalist! The next she was with her father and listed as daughter - living on own means; 1901 Visitor ( with an old friend of at least 20 years standing, and in 1911 again - Companion. Classically, for a companion she was not well off, unlike many others of her extended family, leaving only £126.7s 1d in 1918.

    3. Hi, Julia,     Not all families are listed in all directories.  Many directories only listed people who paid a small fee to be included.  Just because you can't find them listed, doesn't mean they weren't there.  The census is a "safer" place to find them.         Lou -snip- > Does Nottinghamshire have any directories on line which I could > search, please? -snip-

    1. [NTT] Useful Companion (was Partner)
    2. In view of the earlier comments about the meaning of the word, partner, in Victorian and Edwardian times and a suggestion it could have meant a companion, I can report that I've found someone in the 1911 census who was described in the occupation column as "Useful Companion". Not in Nottinghamshire, I hasten to add. The woman concerned was 36 and single and the schedule was completed by her employer, a single lady of 78 of private means. I would suggest the term "Useful Companion" was either a little patronising or a genuine attempt to be kind and truthful on the part of someone who didn't want to describe her companion as a domestic servant. Or am I falling into the common trap of applying 21st century standards and mindset to a more innocent age? My own feeling is that in those days a partner usually meant a business partner or a partner in some enterprise or other (there were, of course, dancing partners) and that the present-day, politically correct meaning of a partner as someone involved in a personal relationship, of whatever sex, was simply unknown. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

    1. [NTT] Elizabeth WOOLIN born ca 1715, North Collingham area
    2. Clive Boyce
    3. I am trying to find the parents of Elizabeth WOOLIN.  She married John JOHNSON of Beckingham, Lincolnshire, at St Margaret in the Close, Lincoln in 1738 when she was described as of North Collingham.  Presumably she was born about 1715. I have not been able to find her baptism. Joseph WOOLLEN ( I suspect there are many spelling variants) married Ann SUDBURY at very nearby Besthorpe in 1698. Joseph was buried there in 1733.  I have not been able to find any children of Joseph and Ann to establish whether or not they are Elizabeth's parents. They may have been non conformists. Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated. Clive Boyce

    3. There was and still is a Vernon Street in Worksop - off Netherton Road. Abbeyhurst Children's Home existed for many years before becoming social services offices and, I believe, nowadays an evangelical church. I have not followed every message in this thread but listing his next-of-kin as residing at an address does not necessarily mean that he himself also lived there? Is there an indication the he is in fact the same person who lived at the children's home?

I have not found it > to be so. > You say about "how it works"....what does that mean? I am in the US > & don't understand the registration district reference.< The first thing you need to know is that the UK has a national registration system, unlike that of America which I understand has no centralised, federal system and where registration varies from one state to another. Our system was introduced on 1st July 1837 and continues to the present day. The General Register Office for England and Wales, from which you have ordered certificates, covers the whole of these two countries and receives copies of birth, marriage and death certificates from the many local registration districts. Scotland is covered by a different office, the General Register Office for Scotland, where civil registration began in 1855. In Northern Ireland it began in 1864. FreeBMD has many millions of BMD records online and yes, you are right in that it doesn't always tell you who married who. Marriages only give the spouse's name after January 1912 and the mother's maiden name at a birth is only given after the 3rd quarter of 1911. But often this can be resolved by finding the person in the nearest census and checking the spouse's name. You also need to know that some registration districts were very large indeed and they have also changed considerably in format over the years. Some districts straddled county borders and covered areas of different counties. There are registration districts in the West Country of England, for instance, that sometimes covered three or even four counties. To get to Norttinghamshire, I have explained that parts of Mansfield, which is in Nottinghamshire, also spread into Derbyshire. To see how this works, find any event you are interested in and then click on the underlined blue link for "Mansfield". This takes you to a page that says :"The district Mansfield spans the boundaries of the counties of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire; information about it can be found here". The "here" is also a blue underlined link and if you click on this, you are then taken to another page at the Genuki website that gives you a complete rundown of the Mansfield Registration District, i.e. when it was formed, the sub-districts, the names of all the places in the RD and a subsidiary table of how those places have changed. You need to know this information when trying to find ancestors. For example, Bill told us that his ancestors had been married at Mansfield but, in fact, I tend to doubt they were because the census returns told me that they lived at Tibshelf, across the Derbyshire border, so it seems quite likely that they married there. Mansfield appears as the registration district at FreeBMD but there are many places in that RD which you need to look at as I have described. Tibshelf was in the Mansfield RD but from that position I would have first tried to find the marriage in parish records for Tibshelf. Knowing which parishes fell into which registration districts is a vital part of the research. I hope this brief description helps you understand! -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
