Thomas CARPENTER and his son James From Nottingham.

Fast_Roadrunner — 2009-11-26 16:00:21Z

For those who know the Carpenters listed in the History of Lycoming Co. PA (HLCP) edited by John F. Meginness; ©1892, Chapter LII, lists Thomas, James and John Carpenter.

JAMES CARPENTER was one of the pioneers of Lycoming county. He was a son of Thomas Carpenter, a native of Nottingham, England, who came to America during the Revolution and served in that war for Independence. Soon after the close of that struggle for liberty, James Carpenter came to the West Branch valley and took up 700 acres of land on what is now the line of Anthony and Woodward townships, Lycoming county, upon which he spent the balance of his life. He never obtained his patent for this land, but it was afterwards obtained by his grandsons, Jesse B. and David J. Carpenter. His children were: William, and Samuel, both of whom removed to Indiana; John; James; Polly, who married John Cohick; and Mary, who married George Bennett, all of whom are dead.

Sorry to take so long to reply, but have been trying to post a scanned image to Ancestry and failing miserably. Am still trying and will spend more time this weekend trying to sort.

Working full time leaves me bery little time in the evenings to spend on my research!

I have a copy of Hedley Vicars Jnr's Naval record which is what first got me interested in him as it was the first piece of "real" information I had on a relative that put "meat on the bones" so to speak. I want to upload it to enable you to see it, unless you already have a copy.

Will be in contact soon.

Kind regards

Oooh just seen the attach a file thingy at the end. Hope you get it.

Hi
The Marriage was by licence granted on 25.7.1783 and shows--

Sarah Paget of Nottm St Mary, 21 yrs Spinster/John Womersley of Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, 21 Yrs Bachelor.
Bondsman, John Dickinson, Gardener of Nottm St Mary.

Spellings as shown

Re: WORMSLEY mrriage lookup, St Mary's Nottingham

Debbie_Bozkurt — 2009-11-09 19:48:50Z

Thank you

You have confirmed what I thought you have been a great help without the details of what regiment I could not have tied it together.

Trouble is I have various John Wormsley in Yorkshire, one Halifax slightly wrong date but could have been baptised 2 years later but not the right spelling and a couple about 10 miles away.

I once tried ordering the record of a Chelsea Pensioner and got very confused and nearly got every person in that year. May have another go as it might give me more details.

Thanks again

Hi
There are references in the Nottingham Date Book to the Royal Horse Guards dealing with riots in Nottingham in 1783.They may well have been stationed thre or nearby during that period

Re: WORMSLEY mrriage lookup, St Mary's Nottingham

willscarlet — 2009-11-09 17:51:37Z

Hi
Phillimores lists the marriage as John Wormersly of the Royal Regiment of Horseguards.

National Archives lists a John Wormsley born Halifax Yorks, Discharged aged 27 Yrs after 10yrs 6 months service with 1st Horseguards, Royal Horse Guards. 1788.

May be worth a look

WORMSLEY mrriage lookup, St Mary's Nottingham

Debbie_Bozkurt — 2009-11-08 15:59:45Z

I don't know if any one can help, I am looking for the Transcription of a Marriage at St Mary Nottingham on the 26 Jul 1783 between John Wormsley and Sarah Paget found on the IGI. I know Sarah Paget was from Muston in Leicestershire but I am unsure where John was from and if any witness' would help me identify the birth of John Wormsley or what town John was from. The first 2 children I could find was baptised in Bottesford, Leicestershire and fathers job was Soldier.

Kind Regards

Was Lily Gillet married to Hedley Vicars, whose parents were Samuel Scothern & Caroline Hitchcock?

If so, I am related! Samuel Scothern was my great great grandfather. Hedley was the brother of my direct descendant John Scothern.

You say your tree is public - how do I get to it?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes.

SueSull — 2009-10-27 13:22:39Z

what was your grandfather's name? You need to know that so you can get a copy of their marriage certificate which will give you her father's details.

There is a Clara Morley marriage registered in Nottingham in 1913, spouse John H CORBETT and another in March 1919 to a John H SMITH.

In 1901 census in Park St Nottingham there is a 4 year old Clara Morley with parents William and Philomena plus 6 sisters....a possibility.

Re: Clara MORLEY b. 1896 Nottingham

BOWERS and FISHER in Mansfield - Need Help with 2 queries..

littlemissdevilish2 — 2009-10-24 15:16:42Z

Hi

I'm quite new to this and I have already hit some stumbling block with family that is quite close to me and need some direction if possible.....

1) I am trying to trace some details over my great grandfather who name was Steven Harry Fisher, I believe he was born in wellingborough. I have been told that he was born out of wedlock and was sent to childrens home, but I do not know how to start tracing him. He married a lady called Florence May Thompson born 1905 and that had a daughter in 1931 called Barbara Jean May Fisher.

2) This concerns Barbara Fishers first daughter. Barbara married Donald Bowers (my grandfather) and their first daughter born 1951 was called Susan Bowers. I have found her birth records but no other indication of her. Family rumour is this child was still born but I have found no evidence of that. Any idea where else I can look, I have been unable to locate a death certificate and I have spoken with the records office of the graveyard she is 'apparently' buried at and they have no record. All suggestions welcome.

Thank you for any help in advance
Alison :)

Re: Leeson family from Southwell, Nottinghamshire

senatorjack — 2009-10-12 13:28:36Z

My 4X great grandparents were George Cullen and Elizabeth Leeson. They were married in Upton Nottinghamshire 1712. Their two sons George and Gervas were christened in 1719 in Westborough cum Doddington in Lincolnshire. I don't have any birth or death information for George and Elizabeth. Do you know abt Elizabeth Leeson's parents and sibling. Upton is the parish next to Southwell.

If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate it.

LEESON family from Southwell, Nottinghamshire

kajyal — 2009-10-12 13:28:18Z

Am looking for info on the children of Francis & Elizabeth Raynor Leeson who married Feb. 21, 1802 at Southwell. I believe there were 6 children: Sarah, Maria, John, Thomas,
Elizabeth, & William. Thomas born 1808 married a woman named Sarah, maiden name unknown. He & William left for America about 1842, believe the others remained. John may have married Ann Brett & died about 1884. Elizabeth may have married a man named Shepard. I have found nothing on Sarah or Maria other than christening dates of 1804 & 1805.
Francis born about 1776 was the son of John & Sarah Waywood Leeson who married in Nottinghamshire Nov. 22, 1774. They had at least 2 other children John & Elizabeth.

Re: Leeson family from Southwell, Nottinghamshire

kajyal — 2009-10-12 07:08:16Z

My earliest known ancestor is a John Leeson born about 1718 in Southwell. Info is difficult to come by this far back. Our lines are likely related, but I don't have any useful info. I did note 3 Elizabeth Leesons born in the early to mid 1690's in Nottinghamshire, none of in the exact locations you mentioned.

Re: family surnames in Nottinghamshire

2009-09-21 14:14:17Z

Hi.

I have just found Norman's in my tree. Namely Sarah Norman, born ca 1826 Hucknall Torkard. Father John, mother Mary. Any link?

Nicola.

Re: family surnames in Nottinghamshire

2009-09-21 14:14:02Z

Yep, the very same.

I had until recently been tracing her as Sarah Truman. I think her name must have looked very similar when I found her. But now I know her real name!

Sarah and Thomas are my gggg grandparents. I think they only had one daughter, Mary, who married William Brackner.

I notice that there are two marriages for John Norman's to Mary Smith's. One in Bunny in 1805 and one at Nottm St Marys in 1818.

I had noticed the pair that got married were having kids baptised in Nottingham also, so I had ruled them out. Maybe I'm wrong then.

The only possible baptism I found for John was 5/10/1800 at Nottm St Nicholas to John and Milicent/Amelia (got that from the LDS page). I thought he would fit in nicely with the John and Mary at Nottm St Marys.

Interested to hear what you have!

Nicola.
