Hi John
Thank you for your very prompt reply. My mother was born Eva Mary Smith on 09.09.20 in Warmbrook, Wirksworth and died in Essex on 24.03.13. She had an older brother Eric Francis who was born round about 1912 (11 November). Their mother was Fanny Elizabeth Pearson born in Wirksworth and their father either Joseph Smith or Thomas Joseph Smith as far as I can discover. My mum was always very secretive about her upbringing in Wirksworth and I am not aware that she was in contact with her mother since at least the 50's and I think she may have died in the '70's. A mystery I am hoping to solve when I visit my relative in a couple of weeks. He is Ian Walton and I believe related to me via my mum's mother's line. I have found your web-site absolutely fascinating but, as you say, a database would be a much easier way to navigate all the information contained.
Currently I don't have any photos at all - but I am hoping that Ian might. As for text, this might become apparent as the family tree unfolds! I have discovered from your site that my mum's uncle, Harold Pearson, is buried in St Mary's churchyard, along with his sister, Lavinia who died young. I did actually meet Uncle Harold when I was bridesmaid at a wedding in the '70's. I also understand that one of my mum's uncles was killed in the Great War - and so might be on the War Memorial but I don't know his name yet. My mum might have been named after one of her mother's aunts - also gleaned from your web-site.
I was born in Romford, Essex - my mum having married a Dagenham man. (My dad was born in Bethnal Green and seems to be from a long line of silk weavers - another family tree to trace!) I am currently living in Dunmow, Essex.
I expect you have more than a passing interest in Wirksworth - what is your connection? Perhaps we are related!
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
By the way, can I pay you for this service or make a donation to a charity?
Kind regards
Linda

Hello John
I found your contact details on the Wirksworth Parish Register web-site and wondered if you could please help me.
My late mother was born in Wirksworth in 1920 and I am very interested to find out about her side of my family. I am coming up for a visit in a couple of weeks' time and am meeting a second cousin of my mother. He knows a little about her immediate family but I am itching to find out all I can. I know she went to Anthony Gell school and was born in Warmbrook. I can see that her mother's side of the family were also born in Wirksworth (Miller's Green). I have a great uncle buried in the church-yard. My mother told me that one of her grandfathers founded a co-operative in the town.
Ideally I think I would like someone to prepare a family tree for me and also provide census records - would you or someone you know take on this kind of work please? I also plan to contact the church and the school.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Linda Barlow
