| san Quote | Reply | | Slack/Fletcher posted on: 8/22/2005 11:43:23 AM Can anyone solve the following, please? John Slack- baptised 21/10/1800 at Heanor- married Sarah Fletcher (1799) 19 July 1819. Her sister, Eleanor (1801), married Joseph Slack 10 October 1821, at Heanor. The parents of the Fletcher girls were Robert Fletcher and Elizabeth Woodward. The parents of John Slack were Thomas Slack and Eliza Gaskin. Who were the parents of Joseph Slack, and what relation (apart from brother-in-law) was he to John? |

replied on: 8/30/2005 11:57:39 AM Can't answer your query but this may/may not be of interest to you: Memorial Inscriptions St James Codnor A14 "In Memory of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Slack of Codnor who departed this life Nov 8th MDCCCXL1X aged XXV111 yrs. How quickly I sank @neath the shadow of death And Eternity round me arose: O, Reader, remember that life is a breath; And a breath may bring Thine to a close" (Slate headstone) There are other Slacks if of interest? |

replied on: 8/31/2005 11:56:36 AM Definitely 1849 M=1000 DCCC=800 XL=40 IX=9 Ignore the 1's instead of I's - the Romans didn't have Arabic numbers at all, but in later times they are often used. |

replied on: 9/13/2005 10:20:59 PM They may be of interest-Codnor is only a hop, skip and a jump from Heanor-quite a few of my ancestors lived in Codnor, but were married in Heanor. |

replied on: 9/14/2005 12:12:36 AM Suzard, No mention of any of these on the list you gave me of Slack baptisms at Heanor (1756-1798). Although there are two generations from my tree. I suspect those on the memorials will be closely related to those on my tree who are listed as: Joseph, son of Samuel & Elizabeth Slack of Codnor, bapt March 4, 1780. ( Elizabeth nee Chapman. Marriage 17 Jan 1780 at Heanor). Samuel, (father of Joseph - above) son of Jos & Mary Slack born June 22, 1761 (Mary nee Birkumshaw, marriage 22 August at either Heanor or West Hallam ). I now need to find the parents of this couple before I can go any further. San |

replied on: 9/14/2005 11:08:12 AM Will be able to get a look up for the marriage in about 2 weeks time -lets hope its in Heanor-West Hallam records are very difficult-like trying to read on an ocean wave!!!! Sometimes the "earlier" marriages only give basic info. If you want to mail me direct Robert, Azzabuv or Iceboy can give you my address. Fletcher is a well known Heanor name (lacemakers) and Woodward is a well known Mapperley Village name(farmers)- Fletchers would poss use Heanor St Lawrence church-Woodwards would poss use St Wilfreds West Hallam. |

replied on: 9/14/2005 3:11:35 PM Thanks, Suzard, I have Sarah Fletcher (1799) married John Slack (1800)on 19 July, 1819, at Heanor, and her sister, Eleanor, (1801) married Joseph Slack on 10 October, 1821, at Heanor. I have still not established the relationship between John and Joseph. Maybe brother's but can find no record. Possible parents of John were Joseph Slack (1780)& Sarah Parkin, parents of Joseph, Samuel Slack 1761) & Elizabeth Chapman, parents of Samuel, Joseph Slack (abt 1730) and Mary Birkumshaw. Back to Fletcher sisters: Parents were Robert Fletcher and Elizabeth. I was told this was Elizabeth Woodward but can only find records of an Elizabeth Woodward who married William Fletcher 20 October, 1783, at Heanor, and Elizabeth Woodward who married Abraham Fletcher, 2 December, 1793, at Horseley. Also needing records of any Willmotts married to Wood. Hence the name of one of the spouses in my tree, Willmott Wood. San |

replied on: 9/14/2005 9:11:51 PM Cannot make any connection with these as yet. The Fletcher Sisters, Sarah and Eleanor (sometimes named as Ellen) were born at West Hallam, as were the siblings I found (William, John, Robert, Ann Maria, and Samuel). Maybe you might also come across some from your tree at West Hallam. This (from Pedigree Resource Files, Latterday Sts.)may be of of interest to you: Captain Henry Woodward (1730) married Sarah Shelton in 1760, at Stafford, Virginia. Their son was Henry Hyden Woodward, 1798 - 1848. Son of the above was Alexander Fletcher Woodward, born 12 May 1839. Died 20 April 1902. Making this an obvious connection between Woodwards and Fletchers. San |

replied on: 9/18/2005 9:52:50 PM The Fletcher family were fond of using their ancestors surname as a middle name for their offspring. eg. Son of Joseph Slack & Ellen FLETCHER -Charles Fletcher Slack. Son of John Slack & Sarah Fletcher - Thomas FLETCHER Slack. Also daughter of above - Ann Maria Priscilla WOODWARD Slack. Hence the reason for coming to the above conclusion. Now do you see? |
