My Gr Grandfather Thomas Austin was born in Thurlby and the Austin family appear on the 1852 UK Census as living in the Hamlet of Northorpe, Thurlby Parish, Lincolnshire. His father was John Austin and his mother Catherine Ellis. Do you have any suggestions for further research of the family? Thomas immigrated to Mortean Bay Australia in approx 1863 where he lived until he died in1912.

Hi there.
I am trying to find out about any children born to Robert Smith who was married at Thurlby on 31.10.1809 to Joyce Shepherd. I know he was baptised at Tinwell in Rutland in 1789 but after his wedding I have no information until the census of 1841/51/61 when he is living at Gosberton.
There are two sons named in 1841, John – 7 and Robert – 9. Also living with them is Mary Smith aged 49.
I would love to know if there are any records concerning Robert and his wife and family between 1809 and 1841.I wonder could you help.
Many thanks,
David Smith.
Hi. We are researching an elusive family ancestor called John (Cherry) Watson. He later moved to Cockermouth as an assistant surgeon but we think we have found him in the 1851 census. His father was Joseph Watson and his mother Ann Elizabeth, who may have been married twice.Joseph is down as being born in Thurlby and is a miller. There are two possible Watsons on the list of those living there. One is John Watson aged 8 and the other is John Cherry also aged 8! One was born in Navenby and the other in Scotter.They had several brothers. We would love to hear from anyone who could help. We live in Rotherham and my husband is the the only survivor of this line. We have tried to locate the marriage certificate of John Cherry born about 1843/45 but the local office at Cockermouth cannot find it so we dont know who John Cherry thinks his father is!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Judith
Hi Judith
Unfortunately I think you have the wrong Thurlby you want the Thurlby by Lincoln ( we are Thurlby by Bourne) Navenby and Scotter are in that area, however I will just check the registers at St Firmin’s in case. Good luck
Hello. I am trying to piece together the Bullimore family. Richard Bullymore ? married Theodosia Watkins of Thurlby in 1803. I believe Richard married again in Osbournby in 1807 but to confirm that I need to find a burial for Theodosia. I am also trying to confirm relationship between Richard and Michelson Bullimore who lived in Northorpe. Any help appreciated
many thanks
Sue
Hi Sue
Have checked the transcripts and found the following – the spellings change about a bit!
I didn’t think to check Theodocia Watkins to see if there was a baptism are you looking for this?
Marriage
21 feb 1803 of Bullymore – Richard of GRANTHAM (Lic) to Theodocia Watkin
Baptism
28 Feb 1804 Richard son of Richard and Theodosia
Burial
16 March 1804 Theodocia aged 29 (presumably in childbirth)
The first information regarding of MIcheson is a baptism 2 months after the death of Theodocia- perhaps a brother and wife come to stay with a widow with a newborn baby?
The details are
Baptisms – children of Michelson and Elizabeth
May 11 1804 Thomas
Oct 23 1805 Elizabeth
May 24 1807 Mitchinson
July 29 1810 John
June 10 1811 Burial of Elizabeth Bullimore aged 30
1812 Bullymore Michelson – widow (Lic) to Catherine Todd of Bourn
Hello. I am hoping you can help me. We have an ancestor, Theophilus Dennis, born 1762 (not known where) who was a farmer in Hacconby. He married Ann Sandall in 1789 in Dunsby and they had 7 children, including another Theophilus. All were baptised around Hacconby and Donington.
Ann died in 1804 and was buried in Hacconby.
Theophilus then seems to have married again because in March 1818 there is another entry in Hacconby burial register for Ann, wife of Theophilus Dennis, aged 39. In 1807 there is an entry of a baptism of Thurlby Cook Hubbard Dennis, who died also in 1807. The parents are Theophilus and Ann. But I can’t find a marriage anywhere for Theophilus and Ann.
He married for a third time to Ruth Hubbard in Sempringham in 1819. They had a further four children. Theophilus died in 1826. In his will, he leaves everything to his wife, Ruth, and names his four children. There is no mention of any of the children of his first marraige. However, he nominates Thomas Cook Hubbard of Lound as a Trustee to his children’s estate. Ruth died in Bourne in 1865.
I think I have traced Ruth back to Laughton, the daughter of William Hubbard and Ruth Cook and she has a brother called Thomas Cook Hubbard who, I believe, may be the one who lived in Thurlby. Do you know if he had previously lived in Lound?
My real confusion, however, is over the second marriage to the unknown Ann. There must have been some connection with the Cooks and Hubbards at that time for Theophilus and Ann to call their son Cook Hubbard, and I thought maybe there was a connection with Thurlby but I can’t find any marriage record for them.
It is a long shot – but if there is a history of the Cooks or Hubbards in Thurlby, it might throw some light on who this Ann was and where (if) they married.
Anything you can offer would be very helpful!
Many thanks
Jane
Hi Jane
The only entries for Dennis I have found are
Births
Nov 12 1748 William to William and Mary
April 2 1750 Mary to William and Mary
Marriage of
May 31 1702 Jos Andrew to Mary Dennis
Nov 6 1748 William Dennis of Haconby to Han? Little of James Deeping
(I presume this to be Deeping St James)
There were Hubbards around the village between 1648 and 1820 but I can see no connection nor can I for the Cooks, they were in the village from 1659 and it is still a name in the village today.
We have no marriage transcripts for 1838 to 1984 you will need to access these at Lincoln Records Office
Thank you for looking into it for me, Mary. I am sure my answer will turn up one day when I am least expecting it.
By the way, I love this web site. I wish more villages woud follow your lead.
