Earliest Derbys. Marriages by Name and Date
replied on: 4/10/2008 2:15:21 AM

I'm sorry I forgot to mention which part of Derbyshire. It's
Heanor, Loscoe and Codnar. It's the really early marriages I am interested in. I just haven't been able to find much info. that predates the late 1700s - early 1800s. I do have a couple of older dates because I know that Joseph White (1759 - 1833) married Mary Mellor (1763 - 1835) on April 6, 1784 in Heanor and I suspect Joseph's father who was also named Joseph White (dob 1717) married an Ann Farnsworth on Nov. 16, 1742 in West Hallam. Joseph and Ann had 9 children and I have only been able to locate marriage dates for 3 of them. I have no information on wedding dates and spouse's names for the other 6 - Elizabeth, Amy, Hannah, Edward, Phoebe and Susannah. I would also dearly love to know who Mary Mellor's (1763 - 1835) parents were, same for Ann Farnsworth and Eliza Marshall and Eliza Abbott (both Eliza's were married to Joseph White (1789 - 1872). Eliza Abbott married him in 1813 in Heanor and she died in 1816. They had 2 children - George (dob 1814) and Dorothy (dob 1815). I can't find spouses for either of them. Eliza Marshall married Joseph in 1817 and they had 8 children. I have spouses for all of them except for Mary (dob 1823), Edward (dob 1825) and Isaac (dob 1833).

Is there any marriage information that pre-dates Joseph White and Ann Farnsworth? I would especially love to know who his parents were.

I hope I've made sense here. I know it is a lot to ask of you and I will certainly understand if you throw your hands up in frustration. I do appreciate anything you can tell me and hopefully in about a year I will be able to go to England and do some of my own investigating.
