    1. [NTT] Francis NELSONs in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, 1760 to death

    3. In an effort to figure out which Francis Nelson was the father of James Nelson, born 1792, supposedly in Lowdham, I am doing a study on any Francis Nelson in Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire, from 1760 to whenever each particular Francis died. It is tough going. I have used findmypast, ancestry and familysearch. These are the areas where I have found a Francis: Worksop in N., Sutton-cum-duckmanton in D, possibly Nottingham city. So far I am not venturing into Lincolnshire or Yorkshire. 1. A Francis Nelson was born in 1732 and there is a death record for him in Sutton cum Duckmanton, 1806. I don't tie him to anyone yet. BUT this area seems to have had several Francises. A prime candidate married Ann West in 1787, had two children. Then, what? 2. There is a Francis getting married in Newark Upon Trent in 1808. Could be a brother to James, time-wise. 3. There is a Francs who was a minor when his father died in 1763. This father, John Nelson, was a soap maker and left a will. Grove Moorhouse. Does anyone know WHY there are so few records of marriage and death for Lambley online? And WHERE/HOW they might be accessed? And if a researcher names a parish as being Grove Moorhouse, where is that place today?? I will appreciate any suggestions.
