Hi ,I am a new member,I am researching the Storey family ,Lincolnshire.I have got a bit of info ,just wondered what you have and if there could be a connection?

 

[duckweed]

Hi, I do a lot of research in Lincolnshire. Let me know who you are looking for and I'll keep an eye out for you. I have Storer in my family tree and sometimes come across Storey when I'm looking for them.

Hi duckweed, thanks for offer of help, in Lincolnshire I am mainly researching the name Parkinson from Legsby & Wainfleet & later Horncastle, the furthest I have got back is -
a Wiliam Parkinson, born around 1740ish? who married an Elizabeth Dsnby in 1774? not sure where he was born though but he apparently died 1818 in Wainfleet.
Regards
Patricia

Hi pamelawaagster,
thanks for message about Storey's unfortunately I know nothing about Storey's in Lincoln as the ones in my tree come from Cresswell and Newbiggin by the sea in Northumberland - sorry wish I could help

 

[duckweed]

Where did you get William Parkinson's marriage date from? Do you have a place for the marriage. I note on IGI that a William and Elisabeth were in Legsby in 1773 and a child Sarah was baptised on 17th January 1773, Jane
9th April 1774, William 28th Dec 1775, Elisabeth 16th Sept 1777, Thomas
26th June 1779.

The Joseph Storey I have found was born in 1831 but dates on census aren't very accurate so it is probably him.
1841 census Fulbeck 618-14/11
Sarah 65 Wid Ind
Elisabeth 30
Joseph 10
John 5 (All born Lincs)

1851
Corringham
Charles Stothard wid 41 Ag Lab Lincs Coats
Thomas 14 Ag Lab Corringham
Joseph Storey 20 Fulbeck Ag Lab
Elisabeth Storey Scothern
Mary A Storey 1 Glentham (Storeys are lodgers)

 

[duckweed]

Joseph Storer Christening 12 Dec 1830, Fulbeck Mother Elisabeth (no father mentioned so presume Joseph was illigitimate or father died before birth).

 

[duckweed]

I found an Elisabeth Storey in Lincoln in 1861 with daughter Mary and others. This looks like the same Elisabeth in 1851
St Martins Lincoln
32 Holland Road
Head of Household Alfred Lister unmarried wharf labourer Yorkshire Caton
Elisabeth Storey 27 (perhaps she lied about her age) servant housekeeper married (so husband is obviously alive)
Mary Storey 11
Joseph Storey 8
John Storey 5
Alice Storey 2
Thomas 7 months
Susan Bamford widow 65 Charwoman

Hi there duckweed,and many thanks for your reply, yes indeed William Parkinson did marry Elizabeth Danby ?at a place called Great Carlton in Oct 1771, . It does seem this is the right marriage but I am not really 100%.I think Elizabeth was born in legsby, but I can find no record of a William Parkinson born there - other than his son William 1775,The elder William died in Wainfleet in 1819, but again I could find no birth for him there the children I have recorded at Legsby are sarah b.1773, Jane 1774,William 1775, Elizabeth 1777 & Thomas 1779 and at Wainfleet Daniel 1782, Mary 1785 and Frances1787.

 

[duckweed]

I found this for Elisabeth Danby on Family Search
Elisabeth Danby christened 27 Sep 1744 Legby Lincs parents Thomas Danby and Jane.

 

[pejay]

Hi & thanks for your interest and reply, yes I think this must be the right Elizabeth Danby, but I am not sure why they would get married at Gt Carlton perhaps he came from there - I do not know I cannot find anything relating to his birth! brick walls all around I guess

 

[duckweed]

I wonder what his occupation was. I lost someone on several census records although I could find his family easily, turned out he was a butler in Chelsea and he was always at his employers place when the census was taken. Of course in Lincolnshire he could have gone to sea, or he could have an illness, or worse in prison, or he could have emigrated with the intention of sending for his family later but died over there before he could make it. By the way is the Parkinson website yours? http://www.wparkinson.com/Parkinson.htm

Hi duckweed, many thanks for your reply, no the website belongs to Wendy Parkinson, my mother was a Parkinson before marriage.William Parkinson approx1740 was a farmer? personally I think he was an ag labourer I know he died at Wainfleet in 1818/1819 but he certainly didn't appear to be born there, I have checked the Hugh Wallis site for IGI records for him both at Legsby and Wainfleet and nothing!

 

[duckweed]

He could have been both Ag Labourer and Farmer as many of my relatives alternated between the jobs. If he's working on his parents farm he's a labourer. If his parents then died and he's head or he managed to rent a piece of land then he is a farmer. Still could have been in service. Some tenant farmers went over to Ireland to work their Landlords Irish estates. If times were hard he could have been in the workhouse, or taken up some other kind of employment. My husband's whole family left Lincolnshire in the 1830s and 40s and went to Yorkshire. They had been a fairly prosperous family once but times were hard in rural areas and like many they went to the industrial towns.

 

[pejay]

Hi and thanks for your reply, I suppose Lincolnshire was very rural, I do have some Irish ancestors, but not directly from the Parkinsons, at least work would be fairly easy to find in an industrial town - hard & dangerous too though I think. No jobs could have been easy!
