...1901-1983, my paternal great grandmother Ziller JACKLIN (née Ziller ALLEN) 1858-1949 and gg grandfather John ALLEN 1831-Deceased of nearby Little Gringley. I particularly wished to visit the Church of the Holy Trinity at Everton, Nottinghamshire. Finally and in order to photograph the tiny Church of Saint Nicholas we drove to Littleborough, Nottinghamshire. Although I have yet to find a connection between this church and my family, I have always wanted to make a visit. In the graveyard I did find an headstone for one Olive Mary BARLOW and her husband Reuben BARLOW, a family surname associated with this region. Altogether...

Zillah Allen: Forum message

Published: May 5, 2005    Last modified: November 14, 2016

I found this message on the 'Allens - Nottinghamshire' forum at Genealogy.com Looking for descendants of John Allen and Emily Whitbread. They had been living in Carlton, Nottinghamshire in 1915+. One of their daughters was named Zillah, after her grandmother on the paternal side. This is almost certainly a reference to Ziller (Zillah) JACKLIN (née ALLEN). I have replied to the given email address, just hope it is still 'live'....

East Drayton, Nottinghamshire

Church of Saint Peter, East Drayton, Nottinghamshire Continuing my research into Ziller JACKLIN (née Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949) my great grandmother, we decided to visit various villages mentioned in the England and Wales Census of 1881 and 1891. These villages are located east of Retford, Nottinghamshire and I was curious to see if some on the spot research might turn up some more clues. The first village was East Drayton, we strolled around the churchyard but many of the gravestones were too badly eroded to make out names. As is the norm nowadays, the church itself was closed. Though we could...

Handsworth Cemetery, Sheffield

Published: June 6, 2005    Last modified: November 11, 2016

Due to the rather unpredictable weather, we decided, on the spur of the moment, to visit Handsworth Cemetery, Sheffield, in order to locate the graves of Daniel JACKLIN 1862-1953 and Ziller JACKLIN (née Ziller ALLEN) 1858-1949. Finding the cemetery was an achievment in itself. Trying to navigate and search for a cemetery even through Sunday traffic, meant a few wasted trips up and down the busy Handsworth Road. That is until I realised the entrance is off Orgreave Lane. The only clue I had to the location of the grave was the grave number. The Sheffield City Council website appears...

Dixon, Butroid and Seaton: Fillingham, Lincolnshire

...BUTROID 1840-1921 and this lead to SEATON and BUTROID and eventually BUTROID. Now the reason I mention this is because in previous posts I documented the link between my great grandmother Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949's sister Sarah ALLEN 1862-1943 and https://familyhistoryjournal.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I56&tree=tree1. Time and research will tell if the name Sarah DIXON is of any significance. The 'Ancestors of John Heaton Gray' website has not been updated for a few years but maybe the email address is still valid. Updates: 2007-01-21 Unfortunately most of the external links appear to be broken. 2011-12-27 The links pointed at a website hosted by Geocities. This...

Ivy Dixon 1901-1983: Research

Published: May 24, 2005    Last modified: May 22, 2022

Back - Alice Dixon, Charles Edward Dixon Front - Ivy Dixon This weekend I decided to take a break from my research of Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949 and my paternal grandfather's line; instead I concentrated on Ivy JACKLIN (née Ivy DIXON) 1901-1983, my paternal grandmother's line. Ivy DIXON 1901-1983 was born on the 5th of October 1901 at Upton (Upton-cum-Kexby) near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, the third child of Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 and Mary Maria DIXON (née Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE) 1878-1964. Though she has the surname DIXON, I always remember her being referred to as Grannie CARTER, a reference to her stepfather Joseph...

Coal Mining: South Yorkshire

...would have worked reasonably close to home. This map courtesy of the Coal Mining Resource Centre details the South Yorkshire coalfield. Daniel JACKLIN (JACKLEN) aged 18 years appears on the England and Wales Census 1881, living and working as a labourer for Richard EARNSHAW on a farm of 62 acres at Crayke, North Yorkshire. By the time of the England and Wales Census 1891, Daniel (now age 28 years) has moved south to Bradley Yard, Aston-cum-Aughton, Rotherham, West Riding of Yorkshire, married Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949 at the Church of All Saints, Aston-cum-Aughton, and is now working as a coal miner....

Documents

Published: May 11, 2005    Last modified: February 4, 2017

Courtesy of my parents and sister I now have a some returns for the England and Wales Census 1901. These include most of my immediate family and over the next few days I will update and modify my GEDCOM. I have not conducted any family history research for a couple of years and so I had completely overlooked the fact that we (our family) already have a birth certificate for Ziller JACKLIN (née ALLEN) 1858-1949. This oversight just highlights the fact that I desperately need to catalogue all the existing documents....
