Hi, I cannot help you on your specific enquiry, but the River Erewash has been the southern boundary between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire since time immemorial. Toton is and always has been to the east of this boundary and definitely in Notts. I have never heard of Toton ever being in Derbyshire.

On his gravestone, it says he was born Nov 23, 1789 in Toton, Derbyshire, however, Toton is in Attenborough Parish in Nottinghamshire County. It is my understanding that the boundaries changed which moved Toton from one county to another. Yesterday, I looked at the film yesterday for Attenborough Parish and found a William Carter baptised March 17, 1791 (it was hard to read March so month could be different but year and date were clear). While the record for William did not give the residence of the family, the parents had a number of other children and in a couple of their baptisms, it was noted they lived in Toton. My question...Is this birth in 1791 my great grandfather? It is only two years off the date on his gravestone but the month and day is different which gives me hesitation. Would love other opinions. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Notts Surname List http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/notts.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ----- No virus found in this message.
