Sorry to hear you haven't been well, Mike - I noticed you hadn't been around lately. Hope you're OK now.

No rush for the lookup - don't make a special trip to the RO on my account if you're not feeling up to it.

Mary

Elaine, while I was trawling St. Margaret's BTs at the LDS centre the other day I found a couple of Elds:

- Samuel Eld married Ruth Day in 1813

- Ann Eld daughter of Joseph and Ann baptised 1813.

Do you want me to post the details, or do you already have them?

Hello Mike
Thank you for looking at the registers for me and for the results.

Thank you again and hope all is well

Hi Mary

Yes please, I know Ann's baptism date but have not seen the entry and she is my rellie. Samuel is interesting, will be another to add to our list, can't connect anyone to Ann's father as yet
Thanks for remembering them when looking
Elaine

No problem - it's an unusual name, so it tends to jump off the page at you while you're searching.

Marriage

21 (?) October 1813.
Samuel Eld, bachelor of this parish and Ruth Day, spinster of this parish were married by banns.
Both parties signed.
Witnesses: Richard Stringer*, Thos. Eld and Mary Crosland (?)

* probably a professional witness or church functionary, because he witnessed numerous marriages


Baptism:

29 April 1813.
Ann, daughter of Joseph and Ann Eld.
Abode: Belgrave Gate**.
Father's occupation: gardener.

** I get the impression from the register that this may be just the general area, not the exact address - Belgrave Gate appears numerous times, and smaller streets don't.

These details are taken from the bishop's transcripts, because the PRs haven't been filmed.

Thanks very much for the look-up, Mike - pity the marriage wasn't by licence :-)

Mary & Elaine ......

Richard Stringer*, Church warden
is the Son of Thomas Stringer
St. Margaret's Church Sextant .....

* In best Michael Caine accent *

" Not a lot of people know that" ......lol.... :op

Hi Mike,
I havent been in a long while, and hope you are feeling like your "old self" again!
I am trying to help a lady with "Fox" from Leicester and was wondering if you could find something for me?

Oliver Fox-born 1797-1798 Leicester and married to Ann ? who was born 1800 -Spondon Derby
Is there a maiden name for Ann?
Also their son, Robert Fox born 1825, no marriage found, but shows him as a widower in 1851 census-29 Grandby St. Leicester
and his father and Ann at 33 Granby St.
Can you find a marriage for him?

I would also like to know if Oliver had siblings, and Robert also.
Thank you, Houdini Mike (my name for you because of how you find so much, lol)

Hope your day is a good one, from across the pond
Carol in Ontario!
