Hello,
I am trying to confirm information about SAMUEL ATKIN. He was born in Norton in 1633. He married ALSE LEE in 1658 and I think he died in 1693.
I have found a Will listed on FMP which I was hoping may confirm this and hopefully name children.
I am wondering if there is anyone who has a subscription and is willing to help me out with looking at and hopefully forwarding me a copy of the will.
I would be hugely grateful.
Thankyou
Karen

Hi Karen,

I have taken a look at FindMyPast and to be honest the Will is unreadable.

Maybe a paper copy would be the way to go.

PS Samuel's Baptisms & Death are on FreeReg. I think I saw that FMP transcription is actually from Family Search.

Samuel was buried at St James on 2nd October 1693 his residence given as Sichhouse.
There was a Samuel baptised on 24th February 1632 at St James, the son of Jmaes (Jacobi) and Ellana. The entry has some latin text which is difficult to read and translate.
A Samuel of Sickhouse married Alice Lee (spinster of Little Sheffield) at Sheffield parish church on 11th August 1658. He was possibly a tanner.

Some info here: https://www.myheritage.com/names/godfrey_atkin and https://www.british-genealogy.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-43603.html General info on Norton here: https://www.joskingston.org/LDEN/LDENCONTENTS.html

Derbyshire Archives have D2441/A/PF/2/2 a Marriage settlement in the form of a feoffment by James Atkin of Sickhouse, pa Norton, tanner, to Thomas Barton of Lees in the same parish, yeoman, and Roger Lee of Little Sheffield, pa Sheffield, co York, yeoman, of a messuage known as Sickhouse, near Himsworth, pa Norton, the closes known as Lymepittmeadowe, Wheatecrofte, Broomeclose, and the Infeilde, all occupied by James Atkin or his assigns, for the use of Samuel Atkin, son and heir of James Atkin, and his intended wife Alice Lee, sister of Roger Lee, with certain reservations to James Atkin and his wife Hellen, 24th July 1658. here: https://calmview.derbyshire.gov.uk/calmview/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=D2441%2FA%2FPF%2F2%2F2&pos=9

Samuel's will is obtainable via FindMy Past and includes an inventory of his goods (lots!) and a list of people who owed him money.

May be useful to know - you don't need a full subscription to access FMP records. You can buy individual records on a pay per view basis - called Micropayments.

So rather than buying a bunch of credits you may not use/need, you can just buy single records. The cost of records varies depending on the record type - and you can pay by card or PayPal.

Denise

Thanks everyone for your help. I do appreciate it.

Hi, I have just found this thread, following a google search of Samuel Atkin, who is my 8 x Great Grandfather. I was wondering if you have any further information or can help with his mothers side of the family? I have her name as Ellen Trickett born 1603 in Norton, daughter of Mark Trickett, but can find nothing further on the Trickett family. Any help would be appreciated.

Morning Kim,


Have you had a look at Bradfield. I am sure over the years I have seen a number of TRICKETT'S there.


Elaine.

Hi Elaine,

I've had a quick look on Bradfield Archives website, but I don't think the records go back that far. I will get in touch with them anyway, otherwise I will try the Derbyshire Records Office online, as I live in Northern Ireland & can't visit personally.

Hi Kim,

Bradfield records are as follows.

Registry of Bradfield, in the Diocese of York, 1559 to 1727

If you scroll down our Parish Records over to the left you will find the site that has those early records.

Our site was set up for such as yourself who does not have easy access to Sheffield Archives.

Malcolm Nunn is also a person you should contact at Bradfield Archives. He and I followed on from 1727 transcribing the records that are in our Database.

I am sure his email address is on their site.

Think I may have a Trickett or two in my tree as well. NOT my main lines.

Elaine in Ottawa.

Hi Elaine,
Thanks very much for that. I contacted Malcolm many years ago & he helped me locate the graves of my great grandparents in Birtin Lane Cemetery in Oughtibridge, which I was then able to visit with my mum.

Welcome back,

Just checked the TRICKETTS in my tree and they do not appear until the 1850's and they were from Barnsley.
In 1891 they were living in the Chapeltown area. At least four of their (Benjamin & Emily's) children were listed as being born in Ecclesfield but that would cover Chapeltown.

Their daughter Gertrude married into my WILSON line a 2nd cousin twice removed.

Elaine.

I have found a note I wrote 14yrs ago with (Trycket) next to Trickett. Ellen is Trickett on her marriage record & Trycket on her birth record. It hasn't yielded any new information on find My Past or FamilySearch.org (as yet).

With regards to Bradfield Archives, you suggested 'If you scroll down our Parish Records over to the left you will find the site that has those early records'. I don't see this ... are you able to provide a link please?

Hi,

I dont think you have scrolled down far enough?????

It's an External Database.

Try it again and see if you can get into it. It worked for me.....


BUT just incase......https://archive.org/details/registersofbradf01brad/page/n3/mode/2up
