C-I-L history
Neil McMillan
Hello Gypsy,
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
Would we qualify as the decendants furtherest away from Carlton-in-Lindrick?
My grandmother’s family name is Unwin and their history leads us back to Emmanuel Unwin
(b.1828 Blyth, Retford, Notts.)
We believe Emmanuel is the grandson/great grandson of John Unwin (b. Firbeck, Yorkshire) and his wife Ann Bullamar who married in Carlton-in-Lindrick in 1761.
Emmanuel married Maryanne Haignes in Sept. 1850 at Lewisham (London).
His occupation was a sapper with the Royal Navy and as part of these duties was a guard on the ship ‘Marion’ taking convicts to Western Australia.
He returned to London and was then sent back to Australia as a guard on the ship ‘Scandian’.
Due to ill health he was discharged from the Navy and after a few years in Western Australia he and his family moved to Victoria.
In 1814 after the death of John Unwin , aged 82, stonemason, late of Carlton-in-Lindrick, we have records stating his surviving children to be Emmanuel Unwin, stonemason of Blyth, Jeremiah Unwin, stonemason of Carlton-in-Lindrick, William Unwin and Amey Letall (nee Unwin).
We have some information on the descendants of Jeremiah Unwin. We believe some of the family went to live in New Zealand.
We have no information on the descendants of Emmanuel Unwin (b 1761) whom we believe to be grandfather to our Emmanuel (b1828).
The only clue that we have come across is from the 1841 census of Mosborough, Derbyshire which states:
Josh (Joseph) Wilson, age 55
Mary Wilson, age 50
Emanuel Unwin, age 15
Jemmima Unwin, age 15 (13)
Ann Unwin, age 6.
In the 1851 census it states:
Joseph Wilson, age 60, b. Blyth, Notts.
Mary Wilson, age 61, b. Blyth, Notts.
Ann Unwin, age 17, b. Blyth, Notts.
Ann is recorded as being their grand-daughter.
Jemmima Unwin and William Jackson were married in Chesterfield in 1849 and Jemmima gives her birth place as Blyth, Notts.
Emmanuel was presumably at sea with the Navy and is not recorded on the 1851 census.
Jeremiah Unwin’s wife Maria Unwin (nee Morton) and their daughter Fanny are listed in your extract of the 1841 census as living in Carlton-in-Lindrick.
So it appears that the Unwin’s connection with Carlton-in-Lindrick extends over at least 80 yrs and as they were a family of stonemasons there would be a good chance they had some input into the construction of many buildings in the area.
We would be very greatful if you would pass this information on to anybody with an interest in this story and would appreciate any information, however slight, that would help us piece together all these fragments.

We enjoyed your website and the photos. It is great to be able to see the places where the family lived.
Thank you
