Tracing family roots back to Derbyshire, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

... a collection of notes about my family history - for a book one day (?) The order is not particularly logical, they are created as and when I think about something; hopefully the labels will facilitate searching. The blog is not about absolute accuracy and validation, but it is not fiction - however I might speculate now and again.

Where is Brassington

Brassington is in Derbyshire, between Matlock and Ashbourne. Check out Brassington on Google Maps, and look out for other places that also feature in my family history, such as Bradbourne, Kniveton, Hognaston and Atlow.

On this modern day map of Brassington, a lot of the roads from the nineteenth century remain. The terrain flows downhill roughly north down to south.

Joseph Hall, b.1804, and John Hall b.1840 lived on Kings Hill. Later related Halls I have found on census returns living on Maddock Lake (yes Lake!) and Dale End
