Alexander Derbyshire died 1841

denisepilley45 — 2009-11-10 10:27:59Z

Hi

During the course of research the above came to my attention.

He was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Navy and served as 1st Mate on board Charles Darwin's ship 'The Beagle', and the crew is listed in the book 'The Voyage of the Beagle'.

He left the ship in 1832 in Rio De Janeiro and returned to England where he died in 1841.

Does anyone know anything further, as I cannot find him anywhere. I can only find a Charles Alexander Derbyshire, so maybe he dropped Charles.

many thanks

Denise

Re: Prudence Nightingale Derbyshire

Madeleine_Ellison — 2009-10-18 09:03:55Z

Many thanks for your reply I have been looking at my husbands family. I have all the information for Prudence Nightingale Derbyshire before and up to the 1881 census and also the 1901 census where she marries Ambrose Thomas Goodwin Kirk however I am unable to find her in the 1891 census. Ambrose was a widower when he married Prudence and was first married to Sarah Ann who died in 1893 in Preston. I would be grateful if you could let me know if you have been able to find Prudence in the 1891 census I beleive she lived in Preston and was called Derbyshire her father was called Joseph and mother's name was Ellen I notice that you have the name Kirk in your family tree? May be you are a relative?

Re: Francis Derbyshire

makein — 2009-07-15 10:20:40Z

Hi there,

Francis Norman James Darbyshire was my great-great grandfather. I don't have any info about his business as a saccharine manufacturer, however his grandfather was Benjamin Darbyshire who set up a business importing and exporting between Manchester, Liverpool an Buenos Aires - initially their company was called Darbyshire, McKinnell & Co.his wife was Mary McKinnell and he was in business with John McKinnell, his brother-in-law).Benjamin's sons went into the business, too, including Francis (Norman as his family called him) and Percy's father who was called James Henry Darbyshire.

Percy was in the 5th Dragoon Guards and in the Siege of Ladysmith during the 2nd Boer War. He served in India again in 1901 and died there from heat stroke in 1903.

If you do find out more about the family business, I would love to hear about it.

Norman and his sister, Blanche Mary, were born in South America, where his father was working at the time, but Percy was born in Liverpool - I've just sent off for his birth certificate.

If you want to know any more about the Darbyshire family, I would be happy to help. Perhaps you could tell me more about your relative, Ada Williams.

Best wishes

Caroline Makein (ms Darbyshire)

Francis Derbyshire

holmes60025 — 2009-07-15 10:19:34Z

Very curious about Francis, b 1865 reported as Buenos Aires in the 1901 census. His brother Percy, living with him, was b 1868 in Birkenhead, Cheshire. My relative, Ada Williams, was a housemaid. Francis is listed as a saccharine manufacturer, obviously succesful with a large household staff for his 6 children. We did not know that saccharine was manufactured that early. Does anyone have information about his business?

Family of Thomas DERBYSHIRE

cazza180544 — 2009-05-05 16:27:20Z

My Great Grandfather, Thomas Derbyshire, born St Helens Lancashire in 1853, moved his family to South Shields in Country Durham. The family was resident there in 1981. In the 1901 Census he was a widower living at 31 Dale Street in South Shields with his children:
Mary Gertrude (my grandmother) b. 1886
Wilfred Joseph b. 1887
Francis b. 1889
James b. 1891
Cecilia Agnes b. 1893
and Owen b. 1895
Anyone out there know anything about these people?

Re: John Thomas DERBYSHIRE inscription, Oak Grove Cemetery, Falls River, US

pat_reynard — 2009-03-04 15:24:26Z

A very kind citizen - Mark Amarantes - lives in Fall River and kindly found and photographed the grave of my distant relative. The photographs can be found on the Find A Grave site.
Mark was even more tenacious and found the burial record at the cemetery and even sent me some newspaper cuttings of the drowning.
It appears my John Thomas Derbyshire was in the habit of going swimming with work colleagues on Saturday afternoons. Unfortunately, this particular afternoon which was during a heatwave, he drowned.
He left a wife, Henrietta nee Booth, and a young child.

John Thomas DERBYSHIRE inscription, Oak Grove Cemetery, Falls River, US

pat_reynard — 2009-03-04 15:23:43Z

There is an inscription on a family grave which intrigues us:

Also JOHN THOMAS DERBYSHIRE
Drowned, aged 25 years August 8, 1890/3/6/8 (date difficult to read)
Interred at Oak Grove Cemetery, Falls River, USA.

Could anyone give us more information about this death, or what he was doing in the USA so long ago? All the family were cotton workers and I understand a lot of Lancashire people migrated to this area around this time.

Re: Derbyshire's - Garston, Liverpool

2008-08-10 16:20:20Z

I have just been browsing this site, as I am a History Undergraduate, so thought I would look up my family name as an aside.

I found your message, and as far as I know, my father's family are the only Garston Derbyshire's. What I do know about them is that they were all keen footballers, my Dad has medals etc going back to late 19th early 20thC. I know in those days garston was a small village. So I think that the garston Derbyshire's could well be my family.

Hi Sheila , I can't find a James Derbyshire on my sheets but that doesn't mean it isn't the same ancestry as I have tended to stay with my immediate ancestry and traced that back . He may well have been one of the sons of brothers of sisters of my grandparents and I wouldn't know or at least I haven't that information . Dp you the name of James father at all ?

Derbyshire (surname), Lancashire

pat_reynard — 2008-01-07 13:34:02Z

My great grandparents were Josiah & Margaret Ann (nee Turner) who lived in the Preston/Bamber Bridge area of Lancashire. They had 7 surviving children between 1866 and 1890: William, John (Jack), Alice, Matthew, Caroline, Margaret Ann & Peter. They were cotton workers but later in life Josiah was a beer seller and then a publican.
The story in the family is that they also adopted a daughter called Lilian who married a Sidgreaves and lived in Blackpool. Indeed, Peter's younger daughter Lilian (now deceased) is supposedly named after her and remembered visiting her with her father when she was a child.
Can anyone provide any information about Lilian please?

My son has just found your post after i'd been digging around on the McKnight family strain! There are too many names in common for you not to be looking into the same family tree.I'm the grand-daughter of Walter Derbyshire(born 1895) and Emily Winifred Evans. Gladys Evans(wife of Richard) was my great aunt (sister of Walter) and her daughter margaret and son Donald my mother's cousins. I know there was a family link to the US back before the 50's.If you want to pursue this further let me know. I have some photos I can post, notably 'Granny & Grandpa Derby's' (ie Francis & Alice) diamond wedding.

Derbyshire born Blackrod Lancashire

polly183 — 2007-05-18 14:45:08Z

I am trying to find the parents and siblings of a John Derbyshire born 1797 in Blackrod, Lancashire.

In 1841 he is living in Preston, Lancashire with his wife Nancy and 4 children Mary, Elizabeh, John and Jane all born Preston.
It is likely that he married a Nancy WALLER in Preston in 1821.

Dear Sheila,thanks for your message. I suspect that we might be connected ..how,I am not yet sure !( I only live in West Kirby,Wirral )but my Father & ancestors were born in Liverpool/Wirral)
Where to start ?
My Father was Ronald JAMES Sharp, born 1907,his Father was William SHARP,born 1870 (Toxteth Park,Liverpool)he called his eldest son JAMES.(and my Father called his eldest son Ronald JAMES)
HIS Father, was JAMES Sharp born 1834..36 (ToxtethPark,LIVERPOOL /Burton Village,WIRRAL)son of Jonathan SHARP(e) who married Jane DERBYSHIRE (Toxteth Park in 1858) I have their marriage cert.) Jane DERBYSHIRE was the daughter of Thomas DERBYSHIRE, born 1809 in Garston,Liverpool, & Anne SUTTON, born 1810 born Formby by the Sea..who died in Halewood Village in 1910 aged 90..living with her Grand Daughter (Elizabeth/Lizzie,SHARP) & Husband...Peter CLAYTON .(I have photographs)...which I showed my sisters Dianne & Elaine ,& they freaked..SHARP/CLAYTON/DERBYSHIRE/GRAY/LOVE/family ancestors are all there,in their faces !
I know,that some of the SHARP/DERBYSHIRE/CLAYTON/GRAY/LOVE families, emigrated to America/New Zealand & Australia...how do I/you, now connect with them ?

I think somehow,we are in the same family circle ?
Would love to hear from you.
Kind regards, Lynne.

Re: Derbyshire 's of Lancashire, England

SheilaHancock70 — 2008-08-09 22:01:51Z

Hello Lynne,
I am waiting for a reply from Fullwood Barracks in PRESTON.
I e-mailed the Curator at the Fullwood Museum because JAMES DERBYSHIRE received a medal or award in ww11 and there was an article in the local newspaper in PRESTON.
When I know more about JAMES I will be able to tell you if we are connected.
I do not know much about him yet as it was only two weeks ago that I was told he may be related to me.
I was brought up in Liverpool from 1947 until 1969 when I lived in Eccleston near Chorley then moved to Southport in 1972 and have lived in Southport ever since.
I will keep in touch and let you know the outcome of the BIRTH I send for when I know what was in this newspaper article. I may have to go to PRESTON myself and look through the newspaper archives.
bye for now

Hi Cynde, I replied to an earlier message to you regarding Jane Anne. My lineage leads back to Mary Derbyshire who married Ellis Ireland from Garston, England. Please contact me if you would like more information. Thank you!

Re: Derbyshire's - Garston, Liverpool

SheryllAnnMarshall — 2008-09-14 20:40:39Z

I am also researching my Derbyshire ancestor, Mary Derbyshire who was born in Runcorn, Cheshire, England in 1847. I think her mother was Margaret Dent born in 1821 and have not been able to identify her father yet, expect for the year born 1819 found with the mother’s information. Mary Derbyshire was a midwife and married Ellis Ireland who was born in Speke, Lancashire, England. They lived in the Liverpool area in 1866 and in Garston in 1881. Together they had 9 children; John b 1868, Samuel b 1870, Ellis b 1874, Ann b 1876, Josiah b 1878, William b 1880, Elizabeth b 1882, Mary b 1884 and Thomas b 1886. Their eldest son John was my great-grandfather. He married Edna Jones. They moved to Windsor, Ontario, Canada in May of 1922. Their daughter, Esther married Andrew Richmond in Windsor, Ontario, Canada in Oct of 1922.

Any other information you may have on this Derbyshire family will be greatly appreciated. I have pictures of Mary, her husband Ellis, and their son John. You can contact me at: grannyspark@hotmail.com if you think we have the same Derbyshire family.

Thank you,
