Hi, does anyone have a connection to William FLOWER who was baptised on 4 January 1773 at Radcliffe on Trent. His parents were Thomas FLOWER & Hannah BRADLEY. William married Mary HURST of Marnham on 31 May 1798 and they had four children: Charlotta, Ann Maria, William & Harriet Hurst - all baptised in Radcliffe on Trent. Ann Maria FLOWER married Samuel RICHMOND c 1822 and they had 6 children: John, Anne, Samuel, Mary, Martha & Thomas - all baptised in Radcliffe on Trent. Samuel, who was possibly a butcher, died before the 1841 Census, because Maria, as she was known, was the Head of the household. Thanks, Elizabeth

Hello all, I am trying desperately to find the marriages of the children of Joseph Leivers and Hannah Paxton. Joseph and Hannah married 29 July 1759, Greasley. Both were christened there. Their children were: Ann Paxton Leviers Elizabeth Leivers Joseph Leivers Hannah Leivers Amy Paxton Leivers married William Rowland my line and I have their children Samuel Leivers Mary Leivers Sarah Leivers. Leivers being such a prolific name in Greasley makes it difficult to work out which is the correct Leiver. Any help or suggestions gratefully received. I am happy to share what I have and would also like to hear from other Leivers researchers Cheers   Margot Gladstone, QLD Australia Researching in Nottinghamshire: Marriott, Dewsbury, Corbet, Cheetham, Straw, Leivers, Paxton, Goddard, Jarvis, Bostock, Briggs, Chamberlain, White, Woodcock, Attenborough, James, Wootton, Walker, Spencer, Daye, Wilkinson, Burgeis, Hutchinson, Hulford

I was asked by Barbara Kilby-Croft, should she 'go quiet' for any length of time, to let the List know that she is changing her service provider and likely to be ex-communicado for a while. She will be back as soon as she is able. Mavis

Hi John Yes you are subscribed as your post clearly shows <g> Its very quiet at present but if unsure if you have received all list posts, try the archives http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Select Mailing lists from top menu bar, then Find a mailing list (in this case Nottsgen) select Nottsgen and then select browse the Nottsgen Archives As far as I can tell by coincidence mine was the last post on the 11th Nov Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Hello Listers > Had no messages for two days > Have I been disconnected > John

Hello, List Jane SHEAVYN m George Frederick COTTAM, Basford RD, Mar Qtr 1909 Identifying the mother in the GRO Birth indexes, they had daughters born in 1920 and 1926. However, there were births of two earlier children who may possibly be theirs: Doris Irene COTTAM Basford RD Mar Qtr 1910 and/or Frederick H COTTAM Basford RD Mar Qtr 1911 Is anybody either researching the COTTAMs or able to say whether George and Jane were the parents of one or both of these children, please? And were there any further children before 1920? (I guess that WW1 may be the reason for the long gap). Pre-empting the suggestion, I realise that I would have my answers by purchasing the certificates, but I'm again unemployed and these are only two of a large number on my "wish list". There are others more urgent. Other than that, I'll have to wait for the advent of the 1911 census. Thank you for any help. PS: My interest is in the SHEAVYN family - originally from Ticknall / Melbourne, South Derbyshire. Jane would have been my father's 2nd cousin.

Hi Verna Yes, some (not a lot) apprenticeship records are held at Notts Record Office.? They are card-indexed.? If you email the NRO the archivists may?check the card-index and, if you're very lucky?and they find a record for you, for a small fee they would send you a photocopy!

Would it be possible to find apprentice records for him and where would I find them. Also if I did manage to locate them what could I expect them to show? On another note is Eastwood Nottinghamshire close to East Retford Nottinghamshire? Thank you from a very ignorant Verna Sydney

I have a photocopy of a postcard 'montage' of photos recovered from an elderly aunt's possessions (Nottingham) which shows: 1. 4 cobblers with their workbench showing cobblers 'last' and one sitting in front repairing a boot. 2. Troop of solders waving flags - would this be drill for communicating messages?3. 3. Soldiers relaxing outside their tents. 4. Soldier is having his hair cut, sitting on an ammunition box with the words "BATTN (either 5807 or 3807) YORKSHIRE REGT." with older soldiers awaiting their turn. In the centre of the postcard has been pinned an oval photograph of:- 5. A soldier with full drum kit - I believe he may have some bearing to GARTON family. I am wondering if anyone else has a copy of this postcard and whether they have been able to identify the locations or the dates of the photographs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My uncle, Leonard Garton (1887 - 1918) was first enlisted into the Yorkshire Regt on a short service engagement in February 1915. He was transferred to Army Reserve the following day, remobilized in March 1916 and again transferred to the Reserve, remobilised again in April 1917 and Posted to the Depot and then to the 2/5th Battalion. He embarked UK in January 1918 and was transferred to the Durham Light Infantry and posted to the 7th Battalion. He died of his wounds at No. 6. General Hospital in France on the 30th March 1918 (Eastertime) and is buried in the St. Sever Cemetery Extension near Rouen. I was reminded of this while watching the life story of Vera Brittain yesterday on BBC1. In her book "Testament of Youth" she recounts the story of 'The Flood' describing "the crushing tension of those extreme days. Nothing had ever quite equalled them before - not the Somme, not Arras, not Passchendaele - for into our minds had crept for the first time the secret, incredible fear that we might lose the War......." On the 27th March Albert was taken and she says "Gradually we became conscious that we were in the midst of what a War historian afterwards called "the most formidable offensive in the history of the world" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He was engaged to a Mary Cooke and I was told that she never married. I have a photograph of them together - presumably taken before he went abroad. I wonder if she was the Mary, daughter of William Alfred Cooke (a groom) and Kate (nee Keeley) who were married in 1886 at St. Stephens church, and who lived in 1889 at Yates Yard, Radford St. Peter when they baptised Mary on the 9th July? Is there a Cooke relative who can tell me more about Mary? Mavis.

Hi Verna If you go to google , select maps and enter Eastwood to East Retford it gives just over 37 miles (by Road) I gather that apprenticeship records of this time frame were largely a private affair between the apprentice and master so are unlikely to have survived but happy to be corrected on that Depending on the advice you get from others I would make contact with Notts Records Office and ask if they have anything on apprenticeships This may help in that respect http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/NTT/ Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Hello Listers > > I have a young ancestor from East Retford who appears in the 1841 Census > as > an apprentice to builder John Roberts.
