To My Favorite Englanders

I have a question for you.

In doing my family roots, I came across a GGGGreat Granfather called William of None Eaton Tatham born in 1535 in None Eaton, England. Also known as Noneaton Warwickshire, England.

Can anyone tell me anything about this 'town' None Eaton? Where it is, is it still there or any or it's history? It also states that the village of Tatham is located in Lancashire County (northwest of England) about 12 miles from the town of Lancaster.

What is the Doomsday Book supposedly written in 1088 by the order of William the Conquerer? Then the name was spelled 'Tateham'.

Thanks much. Anything would help and if you have any links to any of this, I'd appreciate it.

Long time no see :-6

Nuneaton is a large town between Birmingham and Coventry in the English Midlands - try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuneaton

For Tatham try http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Tatham/

The Domesday Book was commissioned by Willy the Conk after he won the crown at the Bwattle of Hastings as a survey of what he'd won.

It detailed every property with notes on its taxable value.

That's very interesting that you were able to trace your great grandfather(One of them) back to the 1500's...

I've had quite some trouble in doing so...Have you had information prior to researching?

What genealogical references do you find more efficient?

I was born in Nuneaton! At the George Elliot Hospital(named after Mary Ann Evans the author) and I live about ten miles from there now! I don't know if this is any use http://www.nuneaton-online.org.uk/intro.htm

If I can help any more, pm me....:-6

I'm not an Englander, but the Domesday Book was a tax document.

The only resource on the Internet that I can think of which goes back to those times is the Latter Day Saints database at http://www.familysearch.org

Thank you all so very much! :-4

I shall look this links up tomorrow when I have more time.

How quick of you to figure out it's Nuneaton instead of None Eaton as most of my reasearch stated. There was only one that spelled it correctly and I figured it was a misprint. How clever and helpful you are! :-6

Thanks so much!

Good to see you too!

So it's Domesday and not Doomsday as the research state. Whew! That makes me feel better. I thought perhaps there was some sort of curse on the family!

Thanks for the links! I will look at them all tomorrow :-4

It helps to know as many family members as possible. I knew my maternal family very well back to my great grand parents. They were quite old when they died and I knew them a long time.

The best references are the free ones! LOL! Ancestory.com used to be free and that's where I started. Luckily, my maternal family stayed in one area and I have lots of relatives there and lots of people doing research also. I would email them and trade info. I could correct theirs and vice versa. I am now using RootsWeb.com, it's free but has ties to Ancestory.com. I see no need in paying, if I don't know if the info is even there. Although they do give you a free trial offer. I also spent a lot of time at the State Archives.

OMG, that is too cool! William Tatam and his wife Ellen Kerk were married at St. Benet Grace Church in London in 1589 so says the research anyway.

Thank you so much and I may just take you up on that PM offer. Everything stops with him and I can go no further back.

I tried them once but couldn't find anything.

I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Thanks, Spot!

Looks like dubs could really help 911 on this one.

It's fantastic to be able to trace you family history back to the 1500s...just fascinating....

They MUST be related !!!. Strangely enough, I left some cakes in the canteen this morning for the lads, but when I went to check, there were Nuneaton

On a serious note, good luck with your research. I traced my Paternal family tree back to the 1700's in Nottingham. A cousin of mine traced the Maternal line back to the 1500's in a small place called Croft in Leicestershire. Unfortunately, when I asked her for a copy of the family tree as I was really interested in it, she wouldn't hand any information over or show me anything. :rolleyes:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :-4

But, unfortunately, Lancashire-Tatham-is under construction and not ready for release yet. But the name is there. How exciting!

I'll have to check back later. Probably take them months to complete it. I can't wait!!

:yh_worshp You're the greatest!

(I put it in MY FAVORITES so I won't have to keep looking for it)

That's just not right.

What's the point in doing it if you're not going to share it. That's why it called a Family tree! :-5

Don't I know it. I've got the best software for this crusade and it allows for nicknames and different spellings. I would hate to have to pick one and it be wrong.

Seems the people in my family loved their presidents and famous people. There are lots of George Washingtons, Thomas Jeffersons, Robert Lees and so forth. Jrs and Srs and III and IVths, my minds reels trying to keep them together. Though I don't recall any Abe Lincolns, hummm, must be a southern thing!! :wah: My software notified me the other day and told me I had over 400 people entered so far. Try finding a copy shop to print that tree out!
