St Paul's Church Daybrook

[paulr1949 0]

Hello

I am researching some of my family history - the Lamin side - and in the 1901 census my great garndparents (Henry and Elizabeth) were residing at 201 Red Hill, in the parish of St Paul. I am having trouble finding earlier details as my great grandfather is very elusive, missing from the 1891 census, and my great grandmother was from Ireland. I suspect they married in the first half of the 1890's, and probably in the Daybrook area, which brings me to my question: according to Wikipedia, Daybrook St Pauls was built between 1892 and 1896. Does anyone know what the parish would have been before St Pauls was built? I have emailed the church to see if they have any records of the period, but of course they may only date from after any marriage (first child was born in 1896)

thanks in advance for any help

Before St Paul’s church was built Daybrook was partly in the parish of St Mary’s, Arnold and partly in St John’s, Carrington.

The following might be useful.

Although both churches are close by, St Mary's might have been the natural and closest church for someone from Redhill to marry in.

'Red Hill' as they term it and how the area was correctly spelt in those days might refer to the houses that stand above Mansfield Road where the cutting is and Arch Bridge spans. It is also know as 'Arch Hill'.

Lamins Farm and Lamins Lane leading up to Killarney Residential Park and Bestwood Country Park still stand just after the Redhill roundabout on the A60. I think John Lamin is active on the Bestwood Country Park forum here:

Thanks Zab, that looks very interesting

Thanks, Stu - that also looks interesting.

I live in Orpington, Kent, but plan to visit the records office & hopefully the area (the grandparents are burind in Red Hill cemetery) sometime in the autumn. Of course, I still have the problem that there appears to be no record of Henry Lamin in the 1891 census, and his wife, Elizabeth, was from Balbriggan, Ireland. Unless I can find a marriage record (if indeed it was in the UK) I think I will be stuck as far as her side of the family is concerned, as I have no maiden name

I hope you can overcome that potential cul-de-sac Paul. the road I live on backs on to the Redhill Cemetery, if I can do a little pictorial research there or generally in the Redhill area just say, I'd be pleased to help you.

I know we've had this conversation but have you thought about contacting the Lamin family at the farm which is around 1.5 miles up the road? A couple of urls for 'Tophouse Farm' for you:

Good luck.

Hi Stu

Thanks again. I will try contacting the farm at some stage. I know there were farmers in the earlier branches of my Lamin family - this missing branch is my first priority. I then have to fathom out why my great aunt left part of her estate to a nephew who was not a son of her direct sibling (unless she had a mystery brother/sister!) - it must have been another Lamin branch.

I have emailed both churches to see if they hold records for the 1890's, my next step will be the county records office.
