Edna Coulson Pask (1920-1934)

This information relates to a currently unidentified main branch of the family with roots in Nottinghamshire.

We had an e-mail via Genes Reunited from Margaret, who is researching Edna Coulson Pask. Margaret writes:

... My grandfather, who was in the army was asked by a dying colleague to care for his daughter after his death. As a consequence Edna was brought to live in the family with my grandparents and their three children, my mother and her two younger brothers. The youngest brother can remember Edna ..... Ron says they nicknamed her Dolly and she died in 1934 from a virus. I have found an Edna Coulson Pask born in Derbyshire and her mother's name was Pask. Presumably the father's name was Coulson. Do you know anything about this family please?

As Margaret mentions, Edna C. Pask was registered in 1920 in the Basford registration district. She died in 1934 in the Leicester registration district, at the age of 13.

We will purchase the birth certificate so that we can identify who her mother was.

Northampton Registration District Marriages

This information relates to Chart 38, the descendants of Thomas & Hannah Pask née Parish, who lived in Upminster, Essex, and Northampton.

We have just received four marriage transcripts, provided by Jenny Reeve, as part of the Northampton Registration District Marriage Challenge.

The Marriage Challenge is a Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS) Project in which volunteers (Challengers) search for marriage entries in the deposited Parish Registers for a particular Registration District for the period 1837 to 1911.

Jenny has kindly provided the following marriages:

• Thomas Henry Pask and Elizabeth Mallard. The civil marriage certificate was recently provided by Ian Black, and it is now good to have the parish register transcript.
• John Pask and Charlotte Peach, who married on 30 May 1869, in St. Sepulchre. Their marriage transcript shows that the marriage was witnessed by Samuel Marlow, and Sarah Marlow, John's sister. This confirmed that Sarah married John Marlow in 1864.
• Florence Emily Pask and Frederick Bryant. Their marriage transcript shows they married on 26 December 1907 in St. Sepulchre, and was witnessed by Florence's sister Ivy Louise, and her father Thomas Henry.
• Ellen Pask and Samuel Botterill - their marriage transcript shows they married on 27 May 1880 in St. Edmund.

Many thanks to Jenny for providing these marriage transcripts, and the additional information on the descendants of Thomas & Hannah Pask née Parish.

The detailed information from these marriage transcripts will be available in the next website update.

Descendants of William Marshall & Nellie Price née Pask of Nottingham

This information relates to the red-icon tree - descendants of Isaac PASK who lived in Llanvihangel-ystern-Llewern, Monmouthshire.

Last January, Jason Price contacted us relating to his grandfather Garnett Price, the son of William Marshall & Nellie Price née Pask. Nellie was born in 1884 in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. She was the daughter of Isaac & Elizabeth Pask née Harrison.

Jason provided photographs of Isaac & Elizabeth, together with their son William. Also there is two young women, probably Isaac & Elizabeth's younger daughters Mabel or Gertrude. Jason believed that Gertrude perished in a factory fire in 1916. She is buried in the Pask family grave at Lenton.

In addition, Jason provided up-to-date information on the descendants of William & Nellie. Interestingly, these included Stanley, the great-grandfather of another researcher Justin Hevness, who contacted us via Genes Reunited.

Thanks to Paula Payne who has helped considerably to piece together the Nottingham Pasks.
