    Default Nottingham birth please

    Hi everybody



    Trying to find the mother of my ggrandfather Thomas Streets. He was baptised in East Bridgford Nottinghamshire 28/8/1825. Parents Henry Streets and Mary. Is it possible to look up the parish record to find Mary's surname? And any other siblings of Thomas.



    Thank you

    Liza

    Hi Gillian



    Thanks for this. I can't find any more siblings on the IGI though.



    There is no marriage on the IGI in Nottinghamshire for Henry Streets, but I have found one in Whitwick, Leicestershire date 12/6/1820 spouse Mary Cooper.



    I have found that the IGI doesn't always have all the records, so am reluctant to assume that this Leicestershire record is the correct one, and thought the parish records for the childrens' births might give Mary's surname.



    Does anyone have access to these? Or is there any other avenue I might try?



    Thanks and regards,

    Liza

    Hi Liza

    Unfortunately birth records on parish registers hardly ever give the mother's maiden name.

    I checked the Whitwick marriage to see if there were any other clues - Henry was a framework knitter, he signed, she made a mark. Witnesses were John Ward & Joseph Streets.

    The couple had a son William in Whitwick 1821 but there is no sign of them after that so it looks as if they moved. You are right to be cautious but at the moment you can't rule them out either.

    Hi Gillian



    Thank you so much for following this up further.



    Mary Cooper could be the right person! I found Henry Streets on 1851 census (mistranscribed as Streep!) and it said occupation FWK - framework knitter! Not conclusive I know but looking more likely.



    I didn't know of a Joseph Streets. It could be his brother. I have Henry baptised in Bingham Notts, father John, mother Elizabeth (Upton). They married 14/4/1789 Bingham, Henry was baptised 30/5/1790, then nothing more on siblings.



    I am thinking could they have moved to Leics, Whitwick or near there, and had more children, perhaps including Joseph? Could you check births for Streets in the area after 1790?



    Was William definitely a Streets, and not a Street (no s)? I had seen him on IGI as William Street (no s), parents Henry & Mary, so was unsure. But the IGI is most likely wrong in this case.



    I am so pleased to be making headway with this problem at last. It is much more difficult when families move from county to county. My mother's side of the family tended to stay put in Yorkshire and have been easier to track!



    Thanks again for your help.

    Regards,

    Liza

    Hi Liza

    Sorry I should have said - the marriage was Streets but William was down as Street parents Henry and Mary. I'm pretty sure though it is the same family - there were no other Streets/Street/Henry & Mary couples around.

    Also made an error on my post about Frances - now amended.

    Glad you found Henry on 1851 - I looked for ages without success!

    I'll have a look at the earlier Whitwick records when I get the chance - probably sometime next week

    Hi Gillian



    Thank you for clarifying re William. I'll keep fingers crossed you find Joseph Streets on the Whitwick records next week!

    Hi Gillian



    Found Henry Streets on 1841 census - at last! At least I think it is him. Mistranscribed as Henry Sheets! Age 45, stocking maker, not born in county. residence Whitwick Moore.

    CP is Whitwick, Region is Ashby de la Zouch, Subreg is Whitwick. Living on his own.



    Looks like the same Henry Streets as on 1851 census, so this links him with both Notts and Leics, in addition to the Whitwick marriage.



    Hope you are still able to look for the early Whitwick baptisms when you have the time.

    I'm finding Joseph Streets troublesome on the censuses now!



    Thanks again for your help.

    Regards,

    Liza

    Hi Liza

    Sorry but absolutely no Street(s) records in Whitwick apart from the marriage & birth you already have. Also I have to confess I read the witness wrongly and he is not Joseph Streets. So we can forget him. Sorry again - I know you have been searching for him.

    Only Henry Streets baptism I can find anwhere is 30.5.1790 in Bingham, parents John & Elizabeth - possible but seems a bit too early?

    Death Mary Streets March quarter 1840 Loughborough 15 138
