Graveyard is not that big but it’s compacted

Plus I did hear that they had done what a lot of Churches are doing
That is they take up the Headstones and place them along the outer walls of the Church. So you may not find the finial resting place……:0(((

Best get in touch with the Church they might hold Graveyard plans

Morning Mike, on this glorious morning!
Please could you help me again with my Hall family.

You found the marriage of Charles Hall b1799 to Mary White b c1796 in Belton on 17/6/1816 for me. I have searched the IGI for Mary but cannot find a birth for her. If you have time please could you look up her birth for me to find out who her parents were and if she had any siblings. She was born in Castle Donnington.

Thank you

Greetings to all and especially Mike. Thanks for your continuing sterling work.

Still looking for Goadbys (Highfields), Bradburys (Harrison Road) and Arthur Smith (b 1882 Leeds).

There were 12 Bradbury children so there must be some descendants out there!

re:Thoms Noon

Hi Mike,

I contacted you about a week or so ago about Thomas Noon and Mary Ann Smith. Pretty sure I now have their marriage of 1835 in All Saints Lei and a birt cert of daughter Eliza in 1840 at Harbourer. Just need more info on Thomas and Mary ann, eg parents and birth places,dates. if possible . They were bootmakers or cordwainers thru out their lives.
You kindly passed on the burial info.

Waiting with bated breath...

Cheers

Hello again Mike,

I don't know whether you can help me with this one.........

I have a Mary Wright who was baptised in Croft on 11/02/1820. She was the illegitimate daughter of an Elizabeth Wright.

Do you have any records of a marriage after 1820 for an Elizabeth Wright around Croft? I know it's a bit vague, but any help or advice would be great. Mary Wright later moved to Stoney Stanton and married a Matthew Tansey in 1841.

Thanks again for any help,

With ref to Mary with a very popular surname
It’s very difficult to say for sure we have the right one

Because Eliza was born in Market Harborough 1840.
I just have this feeling that Mary went home to her Mother's to have the child ?
I see that on 1841. Census it stated Mary was born within the County of Leicestershire
On the 1851. Mary is down as Not Known place of birth
1861 onwards it has Mary as born Leicester.

Or was the birth early and Thomas & Mary was on their way home back to Leicester from Northamptonshire where Thomas had bought some leather for his Boot & Shoe business ?

Hi Mike,

Tks so much for that info.

Interesting spelling of surname, although logical.

Re Mary..
After buying the death cert for Thomas (d..1886) I found that he had died at an address in Charles St Margaret Lei with a A Smith in attendence. In the 1881 census Thomas and Mary Ann were living in Charles Street as well, down the road.. I did a 1881 census search on the address and found a famly of Smiths living in this house.. I researched this Smith family and found they came from Coventry . I know that in all the census Mary Ann Noon states she is from Lei, but it seems strange..search is still ongoing.... just info for you.

Once again many tks.. this info is a gold mind.
Cheers
Karen.

ps...keep up the good work, your help is invaluable to people like me from 'Down Under'

Thank you so much Mike that's excellent, more avenues to persue! Isn't it strange that Mary was baptised before being named.

Again they have changed the boundaries, on multimap Hemington is in Derbyshire. I have also seen a reference that has put Castle Donnington in Derbyshire.

Thank you again

Hi Mike

My cousin has been in touch and has found a burial for one of her Scotton's. They are a giving her a real headache and I can understand why now as she sent me some some certs to see if I could figure out what was going on. She has just found this

P 1293 C SCOTTON John 1866 Aug 24 Age 3WKS. Oxford Street, Saint Mary 17520 CORONER'S WARRANT

Was hoping you could have a look at the newspaper when you have time, need some clues desperately!!!

Mary Noon..1810,William 1803,Jas Noon 1812 ( also found him on 1841 census as a shoeman,which ties in) John Noon 1805 and Elizabeth 1807. all of St Margarets.
