Binghams in Clowne
- Clowne
I am researching my Bingham family's past who lived for many years in the village of Clowne, Derbyshire. I have a George Bingham born Clowne in 1734, his son George Bingham born Clowne 1767 (who moved away to Lincolnshire) and others members of their families who may have descendants still living locally.
My main interest at present is to trace the details of my gggg Grandfather born 1734 in Clowne who lived in Clowne and was murdered on his way back from a pub in Barlborough on 6th March 1803. He was murdered by a William Wells, a native of Barlborough, who was hung in 18th March 1803 for the murder. All for 5/- in his pocket.
I have read the local Derby Mercury reports but they are very schetchy. I am hoping that someone locally may be able to provide more information about the event. Also of his wife Elizabeth who may have been alive at the time of his death. I do not know her maiden name. Does anyone have any information on George and Elizabeth Bingham who lived in Clowne from 1765 onwards. Is Elizabeth buried locally? Any local school records of the time as they had several children. Any parish records that could show where they lived.
