I like what has been done with some Sheffield Cemeteries on this site .. but all my Stephensons were at Doncaster ... have any of the Donnie Cemeteries be put on line?

Although it would take some more work .. to get it straight in my mind .. I believe I possibly go back to a William Stephenson (married a Susannah Laurance... Laurence ..Lawrance / not sure on spelling), coachmaker of Doncaster, who died at 50 yrs old Aug 1806. Again, I believe he had sons Robert, William, John. This Robert had a son Robert (who may have moved to Sheffield area) William Jr married an Alice Carter at Cantley Parish (Doncaster) 1811 and had sons Henry (born Doncaster 1812) and William 1814 ... this William married a Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire and came to Canada in 1854. To many Williams .. I KNOW! I am decended from the one that went to Canada.

Does any one happen to have any Doncaster Cemetery Records .. I am not sure how many there are at Doncaster. I am looking for the surname Stephenson. William / John / Henry / George / Thomas / Robert are all names in that family .. Doncaster late 1700's .. early 1800's. Some deaths I do have are George  1807  .. Robert 1820, age 39  .. William 1825, age 18.. John Jan 1785 .. William Aug 1806, 50 yrs old Coachmaker ... William , coachmaker died: June 1820 (wife Alice Carter ... believe she died 1819)

Hi Ken.

I don't have any Doncaster burial transcriptions have you checked their webpage.

Hello Ken. Do you live in Canada?

I live in the 'Donny' area and am a member of the FHS there. I traced the burial of my own brother who died aged 11 days and was buried at Cantley cemetery.  Did you manage to trace your burials? Please let me know.

Heather

P.S. Ken. There ARE too many Williams which makes it very confusing who is who. I understand as I had an uncle William, his dad (my grandad) was William, and HIS dad (gt. grandad) was William! Unless I have their details in front of me, I get them easily mixed-up!

Hi Heather,

Sorry to hijack this post Ken but, I'd like to ask Heather's advice on researching my ASPINALL line in Doncaster. I have my 3x great grandfather John ASPINALL son of John & Ann (nee DODSON) born abt. 1806 being one of their 5 sons but, I'm trying to ascertain Baptisms/Marriages/Burials in or around Bentley/Askern (I think!).
ASPINALL appears to be a Lancashire (wash out my mouth) surname so I'm trying to  establish how they came to be in Yorkshire and, in particular in Doncaster.
Can you suggest where to look please?
Regards,
Marlene

Marlene. My own ancestors moved from Yorkshire, then to Wigan for the coal mines, then to Doncaster, Yorkshire again for the coal mines. However this last move from Wigan was in the 1920's, long after your ancestors. I am amazed at the great number of people I speak to here whose ancestor's also moved from the mines in Wigan. Probably my ancestor's and their's knew each other!

Here in the Doncaster area, there were quite a few coal mines but I don't know how many mines there were during the period you mention.

Heather

My ASPINALL line was descended from John ASPINALL (who I'm trying to find out about), he was a publican in Doncaster (Dusty Miller) and he and his wife had 5 sons all going into various trades. One of their sons also John born abt. 1806 (trying to find his birth in Doncaster) was a hairdresser and came to Sheffield. He married Sarah Hatfield in 1826 in Rotherham, they're my 3 x great grandparents.
Are there any FHS groups in Doncaster similar to this where I can research families who lived in Doncaster?
Regards,
Marlene

Marlene. John Aspinall the publican - does Dusty Miller mean, as I think, he worked in a flour mill? Or does publican mean he ran a pub (see I'm not that clever)? If he ran a pub, what was it called and where was it?

Heather

HaHa! The pub was called the "Dusty Miller" in Doncaster in the early 1800's

Marlene. What was the address of the Dusty Miller, do you know? Was it actually in Doncaster town centre, or one of the nearby villages?

Heather

I believe he was landlord of the Dusty Miller around 1827 (doing it from memory, not recommended!) which I believe was located in Marshgate.
I believe that John ASPINALL had settlement in Arksey just after his marriage to Ann DODSON who did have settlement. I would like to find their burials if possible.
Regards,
Marlene

I know where Marshgate is - very close to the town centre.  I have just googled 'Dusty Miller Inn Marshgate Doncaster'. I selected the 5th choice 'The National Archives/Access to Archives' which took me to the NA homepage, with the heading Sheffield Archives. There's lots to go through though! I haven't checked so don't know if there is anything of interest.

Hi
If its any help there was Hanleys Flour Mill in that area of Donny, I think the
"Dusty Miller" pub was nearby
