Hi Mike,

..Karen of Brisbane, here again....

I have a Mary Davenport bc 1734 in Wigston Magna, parents Samuel Davenport and Mrs Jane Davenport.
I also have that Mary marries a Thomas Bunney in Feb 1759 in Wigston Magna.

Did the marriage of Mary and Thomas produce any off spring? and is there any info on Thomas Bunney?

I also have that maybe Mary marries a Thomas Talbot in 1773, not sure where?

Look forward to hearing from you ....

Cheers.
Karen of Brisbane.

Hi Houdini Mike!

I see you are as busy as ever, but am asking for another favour.
I am helping someone with searching, and wonder if you could find anything, as I havent had much luck.

Alfred Alfonso or Alfonzo, married Sarah Ellen Kirk in St Barnabus church Leicester in 1919, and had eight children (have those names).
What this lady has is a marriage certificate stating that they married, witnesses were Sophia Kirk and Sarah's father, Frederick Kirk.
Alfred's father, who was also Alfred, was deceased by that time (1919) but had been a shopkeeper.
I checked directories up to 1910 but nothing showed.
Anything you can find on this "colourful being" Alfred 2, will be a bonus or Alfred 1.

Alfred 2 abandoned his family,was a petty thief and also deserted the Army, and did jailtime for that.

Any info on Alfred 1 would be a double bonus!

Thank you Mike, and happy hunting!

The reason I ask is that when I looked up the birth Registration for
Sarah Ellen Kirk……… Just to get some idea……..
and below Sarah’s entry is an entry for Sophia Kirk

So Index records read thus :~

Jan.-Feb-Mar. Qrt. 1899.

Sarah Ellen Kirk. Leicester…….A 245.
Sophia Kirk. Leicester…………..A 240.

Hence that’s why I asked re TWINS
Although they usually have the same Ref No’s

And as there was a Sophia Kirk as one of the witnesses to Sarah’s Marriage.
Just wondered if they were Sisters / Twins ?

MIKE.

Greeting’s again. ………. Dewdrop…..

Having looked at the ref to this Baptism
I’m of the opinion that your Henry was a Baseborn Son of Ann Howard ........
By the way it was set out & the wording. …..

Event read thus :~

Henry Howard
Born 11th. February 1806.
Baptised 24th. February 1806.
All Saints Parish Church. Leicester.
Mother :~ Ann Howard.

I see…….. That if it’s the same Ann Howard
she then goes on to marry a William Dale 1810.
again at All Saints Parish Church. Leicester.

But once the Records Office reopens again I’ll check it out to be sure.

MIKE.

thanks mike

Mike,
I presume sophia could be a sister, don't know about twins though.
Have you found anything on Alfred Alfonze/Alphonse?
Would I be able to access any court records online for military imprisonment for desertion?
I did find all their children on the LDS site. Sarah Kirk remarried after he abandoned her, but the lady I am helping has no surname for the 2nd husband.
All the children went to Fostercare, but I think only 2 are still alive, aged, and don't know anything.
ciao!
Carol
