Update Notts BBM & Parish Timeliine

1. Nottingham BBM:
The Baptism, Burial and Marriage data for Nottingham plus the data on origins has been put on nons.

2. Replied to CO re Robert Nedham of Worksop b 1649
Attached is a spreadsheet with copies of data from Worksop, Castleton & Hope parish records (Robert Nedham notes). The facts:

1. A Robert Nedham was baptised in Worksop, Nottinghamshiire in 1649 f Thomas m Anne. He had 6 siblings born between 1642 and 1657. He was the eldest boy so would inherit when his father died. I have not found a will yet for Thomas the father; but I haven't tried hard to find one
2. I cannot find a death or marriage for Robert in Worksop so I'm fairly certain he left the area
3. In Castleton, Derbyshire  there is a family with a father Robert and mother Jane. They have three children two of whom we have baptism records for ( Dorothy & Elizabeth ) and two a burial record ( Elizabeth & Benjamin).. All are registered in  Castleton
4. I cannot find a baptism record or marriage record for Robert in Castleton or Hope which are adjacent parishes in Derbyshire
5. In Hope there is a family f Robert w Jane who have 6 children baptised between 1678 & 1691. All  the children were baptised in Hope and the family lived in Pindale which is just outside the village. I think it is reasonable to assume that Robert and Jane from Castleton and Hope are the same people and moved from Castleton to Hope which are villages 2/3 miles apart. The question is where do they come from and where do they die?
6. We know a Robert Needham was baptised in Worksop and moved out of the district. Around this time Worksop had a  relatively high population of Needham's (see attached). We know a Robert married a Jane and moved into Castleton and started a family there. Castleton is around 30 miles from Worksop and Needham's had been living there for centuries (see attached). We believe Robert and Jane moved to Hope and the family grew in size. We don't know where Robert and Jane were buried

The movement of  Robert and Jane is speculation unless we can find  a reason and/or evidence.. I've found none to date and others who say the family moved have provided none; this is why I wrote to you to try and find evidence, So I'm afraid my comments are negative but if you believe Robert moved from Worksop attached is baptism, burial and marriage for his ancestors (from Worksop) and descendants (from Derbyshire).

It's a Start

Needham's of Nottingham

Needham's of Nottingham

Although Needham’s have lived in Nottinghamshire since the 16^th century, it’s clear that it wasn’t until the second half of the 17^th century that we have the first Needham family centred on Nottingham. This page looks at the information available and discusses the Origins and development of Needham’s in Nottingham

Baptisms

The earliest baptism is of Isabell daughter of Edward at St. Mary’s in June 1601. There was a second baptism in 1609 but it wasn’t until 1681 that the third Needham was baptised. The numbers increase noticeably from that period with the numbers more than doubling for every 50-year period until the general register came into being in 1837

Year	no.
1600/1649	2
1650/1699	9
1700/1749	23
1750/1799	62
1800/1837	118

Burials

Year	No.	child	%
1600/1649	2
1650/1699	7	5	71%
1700/1749	19	8	42%
1750/1799	50	33	66%
1800/1850.	96	56	58%

The number of burials almost duplicates the baptism records. The first recorded burial was in 1641 when Elizabeth Needam was buried. Looking at the records one thing hits you that is the high number of infant deaths with in general over 50% of deaths being of children, usually under 2 years of age

Marriage

Year	No.
1550/1599	1
1600/1649	2
1650/1699	8
1700/1749	12
1750/1799	31
1800/1850.	57

The first marriage was Rychard Needam who married Margart Wyllfford in 1586; in fact this is the first record of a Needham in Nottingham. From here on the marriages grow being about half the baptism rate.  This must mean that Needham’s from outside the city were married in the cities churches

Families

	Total	City	%
1600/1649
1650/1699	2	0	0
1700/1749	5	2	40%
1750/1799	22	4	18%
1800/1850	40	9	23%

The number of Needham family units grew significantly from the second half of the 17^th century. But this was mainly on the back of the head of the household coming into the city looking for work. It is difficult to identify the birth place of the head of the household but what is clear it wasn’t Nottingham city as less than 40% of the head of households have been identified as being born in the city to date

Census Returns

In the first year of the census, 1841, 73% of the population of Needham’s in Nottingham were born in the county. Surprisingly, his remained constant throughout the century. Even more interesting throughout the 19th century less than 65% of the Needham’s were born in the city

Year	Total	Non  Shire	Non City	Shire	%	City	%
1841	79	21		58	73%
1851	88	23	13	65	74%	52	59%
1861	90	22	16	68	76%	52	58%
1901	216	54	23	162	75%	139	64%

Although the proportion born in the city did increase by 6% from 1841 to 1901. There was clearly a huge influx of people looking for work. The majority were employed in the knitwear or lace industry.

Nottingham Records

Started looking at the Nottingham BBM data. Like Sheffield, a high number of families have one or both parents  born outside the city; well at least until the latter part of the 19th century. It's taking some sorting out. a la the Sheffield data, but the Notts data is easier because the base data is available on disc in a very strucured data base (the best I've used to date) from NFHS.

Been in contact with KI and he suggests a timeline would be useful. I'll have a go at one to show when and where Neeedham's migrate to. Should be interesting.

New Year Rings

A New Year rings in a new era: Nottinghamshire data. Baptism, burial & marriage data for Worksop has been added to nons plus the associated family data, origins page and trees.

AW has put me right on the death of Frederick John Hawkins - he died in Wales not Fareham

Reply from CJO about Robert Needham in my Worksop tree. She said that he had children in Castleton/Hope with wife Jane. TAN says Robert of  Castleton/Hope moved to  moved to Wickersley then Bolton on Dearne/Wath. Nobody has evidence of where RN from Derbyshire was born.

Cleaned up SheffieldNGN tree on nons so that all the media works. Done a similar thing for Derbyshirebase tree

Updated family 5(2) tree on Ancestry to include the Grahams. Will update nons tomorrow
