Re: Ellen Elizabeth Drummond marriage in 1865

Terry, Thank you for that, trying to find the original now on FMP

Re: Ellen Elizabeth Drummond marriage in 1865

Just looked on the info done by the S&DFHS many years ago and that also says wife of Jno.

Re: Ellen Elizabeth Drummond marriage in 1865

FamilySearch.org has the Norton cemetery register, incorrectly described as being in Derbyshire, which make it really hard to find!

The record for Elisebeth (sic) Moxey is here:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-9937-K9RF?i=338&cat=969982

No 2111.
The transcriber cannot be criticised; it needs a really really close look, and family insights to read the husband's name as Jno.

Thanks Terry, might go a check out to see if a headstone when the weather improves.

Re: Ellen Elizabeth Drummond marriage in 1865

going on a slight diversion one of the children Ellen had with James Drummond was called Samuel Corker Drummond baptised in 1865.

Trying to work out where the name Corker came from so I assume its a maiden name of say Ellen's grandmother.

Does anyone have any other ideas where it could come from?

Re: Ellen Elizabeth Drummond marriage in 1865

Solved it, James' mother maiden name was Corker

Hi Terry & John,

Have changed Elizabeth's husbands name to Jon.

Terry Norton was in Derbyshire.

"Norton lies 4 miles south of Sheffield City Centre. Originally a village in Derbyshire it was transferred to the City of Sheffield in two parts in 1901 and 1933."

Yes my mother as a child (1930s to early 40s) lived on Glen Avenue (now called Herdings Road) and the boundary went down the middle of the Road, she had to go to Ridgeway School while her friend on the opposite side went to a school in Sheffield. It was only when she had to move to secondary school that they could get her into a school in Sheffield (High Storrs)
