Beginnings My family history

In about 1992 I asked my Mum and Dad what they knew about their family history. I recorded the sparce detail on a scrap of paper and kept it, this is my actual original record. My father (Bernard Mallinder) also had a strong recollection of the name 'Martin Mallinder' as an ancestor. The only other name my father mentioned more than once was his Uncle Louis, as far as I know all contact had been lost between my father and his extended family. My father also had an oral tradition that his ancestors had been involved in the steel/iron business in Sheffield at one time.

Much of the family tree content has been gathered over the years, since around the year 2003. I have attempted to give a "setting in life" for my ancestors, for example, images of the church where they were married or maps indicating where they lived.

This is the 2020 Mallinderclan website that replaces the previous 2012 site. The website was moved to x10hosting in February 2014 using the mallinderclan.x10.mx domain name. In September 2021 I was no longer able to gain access to this domain and therefore unable to modify the site. In October 2021 the website was placed on my own server using the domain name mallinderclan.co.uk but unfortunately this will mean there will be two versions of the site for the foreseeable future. The mallinderclan.x10.mx domain will no longer receive updates.

2014 Patricia Nixon input

In November 2014 Trish stumbled across the 2012 Mallinderclan website. It soon became apparent that Trish's mother Maureen was a first cousin of my father Bernard and therefore a first cousin once removed to me. Trish and myself are second cousins sharing great-grandparents Joseph and Hannah Elizabeth Mallinder nee Aiken. Trish and Maureen have provided family tree information and acknowledged through the site.

2014 Andy Mallinder input

In May 2014 Andy came across the 2012 Mallinderclan website. He identifed that we both share the same great great great great grandparents, Thomas (1759-1821) and Ann Mallinder. Andy is descended from their son, Thomas, who worked as a miner and died when he was 30. Andy had a record of Thomas and Ann's burial record from the Killamarsh parish register so he could establish their dates of birth and therefore can go back a further generation to William and Margaret Mallinder. Before that is not so easy. Andy's branch of the family hung around Killamarsh for over a hundred years more than my branch until 1944. Andy provided much input to the Thomas Mallinder (1759-1821) page.

IGI Records index of parish records

The International Genealogical Index (IGI) is an index of parish records (baptisms, marriages, and deaths) worldwide, recorded by the church of latter day saints (LDS) - the Mormons. It has hundreds of millions of entries spanning many centuries, and is a great research aid to the family historian. The key to using this online data base is the "batch" number, more than one batch number was assigned to Killamarsh from where the Mallinder ancestors lived. For example, Batch Numbers 7225812, 7225813 and 7626121 were used for Killamarsh. The source call number is used to identify the microfilm number which will have a number of sheets. The batch number allowed the extraction of parish records into a grouping; by careful examination of these individual records one is able to establish an early family tree that follows the same Batch number. The individual records are available on microfiche and on CD at most archives, these are normally at LDS centres. The index for the UK is split up into its countries and islands, and further by county. The index is said to contain many errors (the transcribers were only human), and information that you find using the index should be verified with the relevant parish records. The IGI can be found online here!
