18th Jan 1764

abt. 7 o'Clock at Night Bought Licence of the Revd. Mr Edward Chapell to be married with Miss Elizabeth Newton Daughter of Samuel & Elizabeth Newton Gunsmith in Nottingham and cost me £1.4s6d Her father went w me for the Licence.

At last! Thomas really doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get married, does he?

Edward Chappell was the Rector of St Peter's Nottingham from 1725 until his death in 1767. There is a monument to him in the church and you can see it on the church's website.

Thomas Tye's family

This post will have to be updated at intervals as I do more research, but this is what I know (or think I know) at the moment.

John Tye ( - 1693) married Sarah Levet, daughter of John Levet. They had at least 8 children, 2 girls, Mary and one another, and 6 sons, Richard(1677- ), John, Joseph, Robert, Thomas & William(1681-1748).

John Tye (1679-1719) was baptised in Pinxton, Derbyshire, married Elizabeth Brown (1686-1728) daughter of John Brown. They married in Nottingham (I think).

They had 6 children - Elizabeth(1710-1726/7), Dorothy(1711-1794), John(1711/2-1751), Thomas (who wrote the account book I'm blogging), Mary(1715-abt1795) & Anne(1716-1797).

Thomas married Elizabeth Newton( - 1778), daughter of Samuel Newton at St Peter's Nottingham in 1764. She died on February 3rd 1778 and was buried 4 days later in St Peter's churchyard.

This is a post of very dry facts but I will put some flesh on these bones in time.
