Good Morning list,
I have just registered with Genealogy Wise, after reading about it in Family History Monthly. I am therefore finding my feet, but thought joining the Lincs group, the county of my maternal ancestors, a good first move. My mother, surname LONG, lived in Glandford Brigg with her family for a number of years.


One branch of the LONG family farmed at Cranwell. A family story of my later mother's was about how the family wasn't adequately compensated when "lands were lost to an airfield." I am not gold digging - honest!!

Hi again Anne, I wonder if I can ask a favour of you. I am admin for a GW Group called 'The English Fens' and, as you will know, the Fenland area overlaps with parts of Lincolnshire e.g. Holbeach, Spalding, Boston etc. I've put a link on 'The English Fens' page to your Lincolnshire group and wondering whether you would be kind enough to do the same in return? All the best.

I am researching George Kirk, born 27 May 1808 in Martin, Lincolnshire. He was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Kirk. He came to the US in about 1852 and died 6 May 1889 in Capron, Boone Co., IL. He married Susanna Abbott on 18 Feb 1845 in Timberland, Lincolnshire. She was born about 1808 at Thorp Tilney, Lincolnshire to Thomas and Margaret Abbott and died 15 April 1864 at Capron, Boone Co., IL. Susanna married first to Thomas Cook on 15 Nov. 1827 in Timberland, Lincolnshire. She had children by both marriages.

The Vital Records of the British Isles contains far too many Thomas Abbotts for me to conclusively determine his parents. He appears to be deceased by the time the 1841 census was taken. His widow Margaret is in Thorpe Tilney page 29. She has some of the Cook children in her household.

According to the 1841 and 1851 census I have determined that Thomas Kirk was probably born about 1771 in Martin, Lincolnshire. His wife Elizabeth was born about 1781 and died between the census years.

Has anyone links with the PEARSON family of Pointon & Sempringham? I have a photo of William Pearson, farmer, a rather handsome man who took his looks to market and secured the hand of Miss Charlotte FOSTER of Bourne - with an eye to her childless brother's lovely money. He called his some something Foster Pearson (uncle please note). But when Charlotte died, he moved in a succession of bimbos, and uncle John was so furious he disinherited the lot.
I wonder why cousin George screwed his face up when Gt Grandpa's name was mentioned, till I checked his marital/extra-marital history .
John Foster Pearson, one of the sons, went to America with cattle, from Boston. Maybe there are relatives still around in the US?

Well folks I have the very common name of Johnson. John Johnson born 1808 in Wrawby, s/o Luke Johnson and Mary Quickfall married Anne Holdsworth b 1816 in Broughton by Brigg. d/o William Holdsworth and Anne Bratton. The Holdsworth side goes back to include a KIng, Wintringham,and Ellingworth families. The leeson side includes a Bratton, Snowden, Abraham, and Holton families. It is suspected that the Johnson family were boat people. That side incles the surname of Acrehill, Wood and Phillipson.

hello! My Great Great Grandfather, William Altoft Day (1860-1937) was born in Howshum, Linc. and married Annie Grace Revill (1856-1899). His Mother Jane was never married and was born in Somersby with parents William and Ann.
I am hoping to expand my Day family tree to include the siblings of Altoft Day who stayed in England and who went off to Australia.

Also looking to expand my Revill Line since I do not know where my GGGrandmother was born or who her parents were!
