Yes I have tried non-conformist, BRO is my next port of call. I'm beginning to think that Nathaniel was buried elsewhere for some unknown reason, but there's nothing on the NBI for him around that...

No worries, I had a look through all the available options on that site but still no sign of him. I have the impression that the family was fairly well known hence the mentions in the newspapers....

Hmm, thank you for that, I've followed the links but unless I'm missing something I'm not quite sure what you mean??? :)

I haven't as yet, but both are on my list of places to check. I'm assuming there are no transcripts of Bristol burials online. I've checked on Ancestry but no luck. Thanks :)

Thank you for your reply, I have checked his will - very short and to the point and sadly with no mention of burial instructions which is annoying. Until the will I found no connection with...

Yes Jan, that's the couple I'm looking for, but no sign of a burial anywhere yet for either of them, which seems very strange. I'd assume they'd have been buried within St Paul's. I've tried all the...

Thank you so much for checking Peanut, but unfortunately the Nathaniel I'm looking for was still alive in 1812, his will was written 12th February of that year and proved 8th March 1816, so his...

Many thanks for that advice, will check them out :)

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to lookup a burial for a Nathaniel Gifford. He was living in Bristol when he died, but according to his will he was originally 'of Mangotsfield'. His will was...

Thank you so much for finding this entry for me. The person I was looking for died in January 1871 so I wasn't expecting to find her on the 1871 census, but I was hoping that the address was a...

Hi Jan

Great suggestions, I'll try those and see if they yield anything.

Many thanks for your help as always

I know that a relative died at Greys Inn Home, 87 Euston Road in 1871. Does anyone know if it was a nursing home at that time please or how I could find out anything more about it as I haven't got a...

I think you may well be right, the marriage certificate may well be the only solution. I must admit if that's her dad then Ruth Bowden was not the sort of name I was expecting as they were gipsies...

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to do a look up for me? I'm trying to find the witnesses to a wedding between Nathan Smith and Lemantina Smith. According to the newspaper article their...

Hi Alison

Yes this does help. I have managed to get most of this information from the census returns and the Notts FHS records. There certainly appear to have been strong conections between the...

Thanks as always for checking that out, Jo. It does tie in with one I've got who was baptised in Wymeswold on 31.1.1813 d/o a gipsy, but no parents names are given sadly. The information you have...

The one on FMP for 1861 gives 7th Jan, All Saints, Nettleham, I've never used that search before so I'm not sure what else it should provide???

Meant to add, I've also got a possible death for Lilburn (the age matches). Dec 1/4 1897, Bramley, aged 47.

There's also a death for another Lilburn, no age given though, in Mar 1/4 1861, Lincoln...

Hmm, not sure at all about this one Jo to be honest, I've already got a Lilbourne in 1881, she appears as Selbourne, b 1853 Crofton, he's Isaac, b 1853, Kirton, clothes peg maker/wood turner - RG11,...

Many thanks for all your help, I'll get the certificate ordered now and we'll see what light that sheds on my mystery.

BG :)

Quite possibly, if so, I've found another possible daughter on IGI, Elizabeth, d/o Barthwell and Ellen (possibly short for Eleanor?) 13.1.1820, Thornton Leicestershire.

BG :)

It looks like an excellent theory, but we have to be able to prove it somehow.

There's a member submitted entry on IGI for a James Smith which gives his spouse as Unity and his DoB of c1788,...

Thank you for your reply, Peter, it's something of a long shot anyway. My suspicion is that he was a gipsy and we've had no luck on the Travellers section in finding him, so I thought it was worth...

I've just put a posting on the Derbyshire section for Doshaw Smith, fingers crossed someone may be able to help us solve this puzzle, if not I'll order a certificate.

BG :)

Does anyone by any chance have access to the death/burial records for Belper or know where I can access them, apart from buying a copy of the death certificate, please. I'm trying to find out more...
