Hi John,
I was just doing a lookup for someone, of the Strelley MI's
in Notts & found this entry ... I thought you might like to
add it to the following page:
http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/94-STRAY.htm
Entry found on Notts Memorial Inscriptions (fiche number 9, section 89)
STRELLEY MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS
'GELL, Thomas of Gorsey Bank Nr. Wirksworth, died 30th July 1848, 61yrs'

Hi list,
This is primarily for anyone who had SPENCER ancestors from the
parish of Wirksworth. It is a list of around 80 SPENCERs who were from the
parish but either married died.or were baptised elsewhere within the County
of Derby. I know there are others outside the County. It may help find an
elusive marriage etc.I have heard that at the time of the 1831 census the
greatest concentration of any one surname was SPENCER of Middleton by
Wirksworth so you can see the difficulties that can pose. If anyone can
confirm the 1831 Census report I wuold be very interested to know of it's
source. Where the Middleton SPENCERS came from I do not know but there are
references that connects them with Cambridge in the 1300s.
I have not listed Wirksworth or Cromford non conformist entries as they have
hardly strayed from Wirksworth parish but those nearby separate parishes of
Matlock,Bonsall, Winster and numerous others throughout the County. It is
not a comprehensive list by any means, though many parishes have been
checked but show no evidence of Wirksworth parish SPENCERs.

Hi John
Thought you might like the following Wirksworth Strays to add to your
website. I found them whilst transcribing the 1861 and 1871 censuses for
Stanley, Derbyshire.
1861 RG 9 Piece 2494 Folio 41 Sch 25
Richardson, Thomas Head M 51 farmer of 200 acres emp 2 labourers b. Ashleyhay
Richardson, Sarah Wife M 52 Farmer's wife Ashleyhay
Richardson, William Son U 27 Ashleyhay
Richardson, John Son U 26 Ashleyhay
Richardson, Sarah Dau U 24 Ashleyhay
Richardson, Mary Dau U 21 Ashleyhay
Richardson, Thomas Son U 19 Ashleyhay
Richardson, Martha Dau U 16 Ashleyhay
1871 RG10 Piece 3559 Folio 8 Sch 43
Richardson, Thomas Head M 61 Farmer of 160 acres b. Wirksworth
Richardson, Sarah Wife M 61 Farmer's wife Wirksworth
Richardson, John Son U 35 Wirksworth
Richardson, Thomas Son U 29 Wirksworth
Richardson, Ann Dau U 22 Wirksworth
Also in the household in 1871 is
Redfern, Aaron Servant U 21 farm servant indoor b. Wirksworth
You appear to have this family on your 1851 transcription for Wirksworth so
they must have moved to Stanley between 1851 and 1861. They are not related
to me, by the way, but I thought they might be a useful addition to your "Wirksworth Strays" section.
