My Grandmother was named Elizabeth Attenborough. I am interested in finding out more about the town Attenborough and making contact with any other Attenborough relations.

Searching for information on my grandmother Mary Hannah Eason born 1891 in Riddings~ Derbyshire and dying from complication during childbirth in 1925. Rumour had it that she left her husband (Frederick Severn) and went to live with her new partner~ it is possible that she moved to Shardlow in the early 1920's. **So I am looking for any details on Eason~ Lacey (possibly the new partners surname). Unsure if the child that she died giving birth to lived or passed away.**Any information would be gratefully appreciated and would be kept confidential if required.

I have been researching my family history and would like more information on a Joseph Whitby who was living in Thrumpton in 1861. He was born in Barton Fabis but all his children were born in Thrumpton. His wife Ann was the church cleaner in 1891. Would appreciate any information

Dear Sir~ or Madam~ **while searching the net I entered the name Gotham in a search engine to see if anything interesting would be returned. My reason being that my Mother~ Glenis Ryan nee James was from there~ in 1967 she married a James Ryan from the County of Mayo~ Republic of Ireland. I and my twin brother were born in Nottingham General Hospital on August 11th (As laterwere Peter and Stuart~ three more brothers were **born in Ireland~ Anthony~ Andrew~ and Timothy.)**My Mother had a sister Pauline~ they were the only children of George Arthur Alice James (I believe there is some connection to a family called Cooksie?).My mothers dad was for a long time a bus driver with the South Notts Bus Company~ my Grandmother worked at Ramson and Marls? in Bunny~ during the war. ** I will have to search around to find some address~ but I remember a house at Bidwell Cresent~ (Grandparents) any my first home at Meadow End. behind a church or service hall? also my Mother and Father ran the Sun bar for a couple of years **Sadly my Mother died a number of years ago while living in Castlebartown~ County **Mayo the West of Ireland~ from Cancer. Her sister Pauline Swift nee James died a few years afterwards~ and both a buried together in Castlebar Cemetery along with Paulines husband Harold Swift~ **who used to drive for Thompson & Jowett~ International Haulege firm. I remember meeting in 1981~ on a visit to Gotham some of my Grandfathers brothers and sisters~ Len James~ Ernest James and Lilian who lived near the back of the Star~ but I am afraid I cannot remember the street. I also met another brother and his wife of my Grandfather~ Mr Alan and Doreen James in Nottingham. In 1968 my father decided to move the family to live in Ireland~ that year I believe my Grandfather died. Hopefuly it may be possible to post a message on your site to see if I can establish contact with anybody who might have **known or rember the family. I will then be able to fill in some details of what happened in our time in Ireland~ how my twin and myself served over 21 years each in the Irish Defense Forces and **served with the United Nation Peacekeeping Force in South Lebanon (UNIFIL) and how I now come to be married and living in Transylvania~ Romania. **Thank you for taking the time to read this~**yours Kevin A. Ryan~ a Gothamite along way from **Nottinghams green fields and shady forests.
