'And heres the confusing bit his parents were Daniel Dove and Mary Wharmby and I am sure I have seen it somewhere that he was a Wharmby and changed his name after they married as he was born 1858 and Daniel and Mary married 1859.' That is interesting. I have an ELIZABETH DOVE WHARMBY who married SAMUEL ALBERRY on 1/4/1899 in Sutton. I have also found a DAN DOVE WHARMBY with father CHARLES DOVE WHARMBY and mother ELIZABETH born 27/5/1878 and baptised on 10/9/1878 in Sutton.

Charles perhaps he kept a double barrelled name because dan dove wharmby fits as their son and elizabeth fits as their daughter strange

Hello Charles, Thank you for your kind offer. Could you look for the marriage of Dodson PANTRY to Mary Ann ASHLEY abt 1882. Dodson born Haxey and Mary Ann born Belton. The couple lived in Auckley and the church for that area was in Finningley. Also, if you have time, could you see if there is a marriage in June 1833 for William BINNS born Auckley 1813 and Sarah BROWN born Misson, 1811. Many thanks in advance. Jenny

Jenny My apologies ... the Gainsborough and Isle of Axholme listings are pre-1837. I should have stated that and I have amended the title accordingly. That said, your Dodson Pantry is an interesting one. The only entry I could find for him was his marriage (on Ancestry). Neither could I find an entry for Sarah Brown or William Binns on my listings. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Dawn I suspect your Charles Brooks may have been born in Bolton, Lancashire. See census extract above.

Jenny To add to my message, I have found 4 baptisms for the children of William & Sarah: Elizabeth - 6/6/1841 Ann - 24/12/1843 Hannah - 29/4/1848 William 1/9/1850 All were born in Finningley, Notts and William's occupation is listed as 'labourer'. Abode is listed as 'Awkley' or 'Auckley'

Charles, Firstly, my apologies in taking so long to reply, I was overtaken by events at home. Thank you for taking the time to look for me. I have made a note of the information you have found. Once again many thanks Jenny

Any details would be greatly appreciated. Rebekah x' ________________________________________________ Hi Rebekah Well, I have found a number of children baptised in Sutton with father Henry Marriott and mother Mary. They are: Edward 25/11/1788 Samuel 24/7/1791 Elizabeth 21/7/1793 Thomas 12/4/1795 James 4/7/1797 Mary 7/7/1799 George 13/9/1806 All dates are baptisms, not births. I see that IGI shows a marriage but my parish records do not. Also, I note that IGI shows two different family names for the spouse .... Mary Bowler and also Mary Shaw. I don't know if you have any other info that we can use here.

Thankyou Charles. Im afraid I havent any more info. I have Mary Bowler on my tree, but hadn't used the IGI a deal, so didnt know about a Mary Shaw. I've made a note of everything, many thanks.

Hi Charles Thanks for the offer. Could you have a look for a marrige for Lavinia Hamilton around 1891 and any subsequent children please? Regrds Tracey

Lavinia HAMILTON married Samuel ELLIOT on 28/9/1891 at SNEINTON St. MATHIAS. I don't see any children on the parish register but there is a Samuel Elliott on the 1901 census aged 11 (born 1890).
