Wingfield/Challoner Family

I'm looking for information on my Grandparents Richard Wingfield and Margaret Challoner, I believe Richard was born in Mansfield in 1911 and his parents were Alfred Henry Wingfield and Annie Froggatt. As for Margaret, I have no clues but have found a few possibles from Walsall and Ellesmere. I would love any information on my Grandparents because I have hit a brick wall on this part of my tree. Margaret and Richard had a son on 21st August 1953, he was born in Hucknall and was a cabinet maker but later joined the Army. The Wingfield's lived at 44 Whyburn Street, Hucknall when my Dad was born but later moved to 55 Lime Tree Road. Richard was a Builders Labourer in 1953 but later became a Coal Miner, I was told he died many years before I was born in 1971. I am sure someone somewhere can remember my Grandparents or my Dad. Thank you in advance.

Offspring of Henry Child AVES Plumber of Leeming Street
- Mansfield
My Great Great Grandmother Clara nee AVES was born (11th June 1884, baptised St Johns Mansfield 8th July 1884) of William Tom AVES and Susanna Orr (Baptism records say he was baptised William John Aves Born 11th February 1859, baptised St John Mansfield 3rd February 1869 with 3 other children of his family including Clara Aves, Emily Sherwood Aves, Lucy Elizabeth Aves (married a King) with brother Ernest Harold AVES (Born 12th September 1869).
Her mother was Mary Elizabeth (nee Newton)
The AVES family emigrated on the ship Ligura to Australia.
William Tom left Melbourne for Tasmania in 1924, but no trace can be found.
We wonder if he returned to Mansfield to be with his family and so hope a descendent of William, or a descendent of his family members might be able to assist.
Also their parents were Henry Child AVES who married Susanna Orr.
I don't know if Orr was her family name or a second name and don't know the marriage details.
If anyone has these I'd welcome the information.
I have an 1866 4th Notts regiment Shooting Cup won by Henry Child AVES and wondered again if the descendents of the Regiment (became the Sherwood Foresters I believe) might be interested.
Kind Regards Ken

Ann Dawn, artist
- Mansfield
Seeking any information on Ann Dawn (1808 - 1866) who married John Paulson in 1831, they had one son George William Paulson born in Mansfield 1832. Ann became a successful artist especially when painting flowers and fruit, some of her paintings were exhibited in London. She also painted local views of the town and portraits. I have visited Mansfield Museum where some of her work can be seen but I would be most interested to see any other examples. We do have, in the family, a portrait of Great Aunt Mary Allen, nee Paulson, which I believe is by Ann Dawn. Do have a look at her pictures when you are in Mansfield.

Carlins of Barn Lane, Mansfield
- Mansfield
Hi,
does anyone have any information relating to this family headed by Thomas Carlin born in Eastwood in 1864? His wife Mary Ellen, or children: Isaac (Ike), Florence, Henry, Laura, Samuel, Earnest, Minnie (my grandmother), Verity (Tilly) who moved to Blackpool,and I think, Eva who married a Slaney and whose son Raymond was an army captain. The family had a 'club' of some sort on Barn Lane in Mansfield. Some of the children, I don't know which, had newsagent shops in and around Mansfield, also an off-license near the Brown Cow pub also in Mansfield. I Believe that one of the female children emigrated to South Africa.
Many thanks
