I have still been searching for the last few days for a Lignavitre Reuel (Heaps by 1829) birth/baptism circa 1805. I am starting to wonder if she could have been German or something though, because when I put Reuel into any search I get hardly any for England but quite a few from abroad :conf: Can anyone suggest anything else I can do to find her please? For anyone who hasn't seen previous threads her odd first name is probably because she was a gypsy (and yes thank you, I do know that Lignum Vitae is a hard wood) :Big Grin:

I did see some Wendy but a lot of the ones that came up in England were Rewell or similar. No sign of a Lignavitre or Lignum Vita or similar though. As I can't find them in 1851 and before her death in 1855 I don't even know where she says that she was born.
I didn't know that Barbara about JRR Tolkiens name. Maybe I should try to contact himChrissie passed away in January 2020.

Hi - Not sure about the info on your previous threads so might be repeating -this site has mentions of gypsy/traveller forums...Guide to History : Friends, Families and Travellers and this site also discusses names within their community It's All in a Name - GypsyLast edited by naomiatt; 28-10-09, 08:06.

Yes Julie, on 13th June 1860 of Smallpox. That's why I would love to find them in 1851 as it's the only place I can think of to see where she gives as place of birth.Julie

There's 17 districts in Belper with approx 35-40 pages per district!

I did think to look for Mary Ottowell and I did find her in 1841 in Leicestershire, if thats the right one, Ligna Vitre was not around and not a neighbour either.
Edit to say: Most Ottwells come up in Derbyshire!Last edited by Guest; 28-10-09, 11:33.

Her death was in Heage Julie and she is buried at Heage St Lukes Derby. The informant was Mary Ottowell who was in attendance in Heage. I imagine that she wasn't at home so that the children didn't catch smallpox. I found a likely Mary Ottewell in 1861 in Heage and she is living next door to possible later family. No relation though that I have discovered.
I will bring the thread back up :Big Grin:Last edited by Chrissie Smiff; 28-10-09, 11:36.Chrissie passed away in January 2020.

I have only just started to follow Hannah Julie but I believe that she married John Wilson (they are on 1891 in Kimberworth Rotherham and they have a son Albert (2) born Chesterfied - probably Clay Cross. Oops sorry - I'm talking about Hannah Bonsall.
I have found young Lignum Vita Bonsall in 1881 aged 14 in Codnor.
Thank you for looking.
