Hi

Found this in the IGI (Family Search)
ELIZA BOSWELL
Christening:
27 MAY 1816 Bolsover, Derby, England
Parents:
Mother: LUCY BOSWELL

The only other place to look is the Parish Records of Bolsover, Derby but looking at this record I don't think you'll find out much more than this.

Elijah Boswell was only born in 1798, he was having children much later than Lucy Boswell had Eliza.

However all is not lost. His father was also Elijah Boswell. He was married to an Elizabeth Smith. Its possible that he had a liason with this Lucy.

I would recomend you get in touch with Bob Dawson, he has written a book on the Boswell genealogy. He has thousands of romany records and lives in and has centred much of his work on Derbyshire.

You can find his website here: http://www.robertdawson.co.uk/

From someone who noted his baptism. Only have the year tho, unfortunatly. It was at Newton In The Willows Northamptonshire.

thank you very much you have been very kind and helpful

[Ann65]

Most welcome.

Funnily enough I just noticed something amongst my data.

Major Boswell c.1780 Bloxham Ox, married briefly one Lucy Boswell, 15.01.1798 Breedon On The Hill Leic. He later married Mary Linyan and had several children in the early 1800s.

Just a thought.....

Oh and on the IGI

there is a Lucy Boswell c.01.03.1783 d/o Lewis & Anne at Floor, Northamptonshire.

and a Lucy Boswell m. Edward Buckland in 1815 at Knowle Warwicks. Possibly she baptised the child with her maiden name (such things are not unheard of).
