Or this one Mary Atkins Dudley Staffordshire + Worcestershire vol 6c Page 29 Sept qtr 1880

Cheryl Could this be her:- Adkin, Mary Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1880 District: Loughborough County: Leicestershire Nottinghamshire Volume: 7a Page: 133 Or this one (I have rellies who were actually registered with slightly different names). ATKIN, Annie Mary Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1880 District: Mansfield County: Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Volume: 7b Page: 94 Lynne

Only birth I can find in the right area is in 1884.

Hi Tracy/Trudi She is driving me daft it took me two years to find her marriage certificate and death certificate!!!!!! Her father Edwin is listed as a Coal Miner which ties in both with Nottingham/Derbyshire and Staffordshire. On her marriage certificate dated 1905 her address was 5 Newmarket Road Nottingham but I've checked the 1901 Census and she wasn't living there then. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Cheryl

Hi Yes I am sure its the same family they lived in Nottingham in both 1891 and 1901 the head of house Edwin was a Coal Miner on both Census's. Not sure of Mary's DOB as I cannot find a Birth Ceritifcate for her, but when she married my Grandfather in 1905 she was 24 and when she died in 1928 she was 47 years making her DOB 1881 but not sure of the month sorry. Have been looking for Lily Atkins on 1881 with father Edwin with no luck just in case Mary wasn't born at the time of the Census. I have looked for Edwin on 1881 as a single man but no luck. Sorry but I have no more info anything you could turn up would be gratefully received. Regards Cheryl

These are the transcribed details... 1901 Edwin Adkin abt 1849 N Head Nottingham Nottinghamshire (Coal Miner) Sarah Adkin abt 1845 Staffordshire, England Wife Nottingham Nottinghamshire (Dressing Room Hand Bleacher) Mary Adkin abt 1881 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Nottingham Nottinghamshire Ethel Adkin abt 1893 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Nottingham Nottinghamshire Joseph Adkin abt 1884 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Son Nottingham Nottinghamshire (Coal Miner) 1891 Arkin, Edwin abt 1848 Walcott, Staffordshire, England Head Basford Nottinghamshire (Engine Driver) Arkin, Sarah abt 1846 Tamworth, Staffordshire, England Wife Basford Nottinghamshire (Tailoress) Arkin, Lily abt 1875 Tamworth, Staffordshire, England Daughter Basford Nottinghamshire Arkin, Mary abt 1881 Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Basford Nottinghamshire Arkin, Joseph abt 1885 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, England Son Basford Nottinghamshire Arkin, Robert abt 1890 Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Basford Nottinghamshire As you can see, Edwin is Not Known in 1901 for a birth place. So they could be the same family.

Cheryl/Joan I know that the Notts/Staffs borders 'move' quite a bit, they still do to this day - my aunt hasn't moved house in 30 odd years, but has lived in Notts, Staffs and Derbyshire?? Might be worth finding an old map with county 'borders' on it for the period. Trudy
