Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire

Troublesome to disambiguate here. Elizabeth was the widow of Simon Walburge (ODNB), who will be the graduate of St John's College, Cambridge who is in the Venn database (WLBG716S). He was buried in Barholm in 1734. Doesn't really resolve Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth from Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:20, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth and Michael pere married at Little Casterton (5 minutes walk from here) 10 March 1736/7,(Admissions) by Mr Rosse.(Old Lincolnshire a pictorial quarterly magazine, ed. by G.H. Burton) She had a brother, Noah Curtis, of Wilsthorpe, Lincolnshire. (Admissions to the college of St. John the Evangelist ... ). Elizabeth it was who passed the manors of Barholm and Stow-cum-Deeping on to Michael Curtis Tyson. Stow-by-Deeping may well be Stowgate, surely VCH or even Mee will testify.

Regardless, the relative locations strongly suggest that Wilsthope may well meant, not either of the Woolsthorpes.

--Later--

Noah Curtis and the Curtis family are interesting. It seems that the Curtis and Neale families were notable solicitors in Stamford, both families being based at some time in Wilsthorpe. (http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/upload/public/attachments/551/report5.pdf) Deposits of their papers are in the archives. Noah "acted as steward to Deeping Wakes manor, agent to the earl of Gainsborough, clerk to Browne’s Hospital trustees and apparently to those of the Truesdale Hospital." More important, possibly, for us, the antiquary Peck married into the Curtis family. Peck is one of the seminal writers about Stamford history, therefore resolution should not be impossible.

Stamford All Saints

All Saints is the mother church in Stamford, there was however an All Saints Chapel. I'm fairly certain this was gone by the eighteenth century. Rich Farmbrough, 23:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]
