Sparrows as pt of Eckington Diet - Eckington
The LDS has filmed the Parish Chest material and Poor Law records.Film# 2082595. The original records are in Matlock but anyone not lucky enough to get there can order the film from either Salt Lake or your local fam history lib in England. It is well worth your effort. Imagine my surprise at seeing constant purchases of Sparrows by the parish council in the early 1800's.My first thought was that it was a place in Eckington but now after some research, I discovered that sparrows were eaten by the poor..described as the poor man's pheasant..skinned roasted and put on spits in front of the fire. So if you break into song frequently it's because your Eckington ancesters were fed birds. I have never come across this before.

HEWITT AND LACEY FAMILIES - Eckington
Looking for information on relatives from Eckington, Chesterfield. Fanny Hewitt married George Lacey (also Lacy). They had at least one son, Joseph b. 17/10/1845, I have his birth certificate. Details are very scattered, I would like to know date of marriage for Fanny and George, if they had any other children, Fanny's parentage. I know none of them could write. George was a Tinner and Brazier. Joseph moved to Yorkshire, deffinitely by 1868 as he married Emma Hornby 16/5/1868 in Wakefield. I am unsure if the whole family moved as it seems there is a Fanny and George Lacy in Derby in the 1871 census. Would appreciate any help. The name was spelt Lacey on Joseph's birth and marriage certificates but possibly Lacy on census docs
