Hi Mike

My grandparents built a house in Colby Drive Thurmaston in the early 1920's, I would like to find out the details eg what date, cost etc. Can you tell me if I would need to employ a surveyor or is there a central place in Leicester that one applies to?

Thanks
Regards
ken

hi mike

looking for info on a thomas clarke from the 1841 census you posted earlier on this thread born woodhouse leicester iv looked on igi but cant him with his parents being thomas and ann

many thanks

Oops sorry Mike, i was geting a bit excited, when you found 3 baptisms i didn`t know about and a bit eager to see if they fit in my tree.

I am awaiting John Goughs (1839) birth cert, i have his death from 1916 in Belper Derbyshire, looks like i will be sending for a couple more.

Whenever you have time will be fine for those burials

Sylvia

Greeting’s again …..Sylvia.

Yes I still have to check these Burials out :~

St: George’s Parish.
Thomas Gough 23rd. Feb. 1846. An Infant.

All Saints Parish.
William Gough. 13th. August. 1846. An Infant.

With all this interest in the “ Who do you think you are ? “
It gets very busy at the Records Office with everyone lining up for the fiches
So I’m afraid I ran out of time……

Re your inquiry of The coverage of the Parish of St: Margaret’s ?
Yes North-gates came within this area….just
Three Parishes meet up St Margaret’s , St: Leonard’s and All Saints
All within this area so it can be very confusing at times.

Re as to why Harriot’s Baptism took place latter after her birth ?
You will see that there was a lot of changes of Curates at the time
And having looked at the registers each one went on a
“ Recruitment Drive”…..
So much so that at one point there was 68 Baptisms
taking place ON THE SAME DAY at St: Margaret’s…….

MIKE.

Hi Mike, me again,

I hope you don`t mind me asking, i have found a birth for this baby,
1843.
Entry No’. 1125. 7th. June.
William Son of John & Mary GOUGH.
Metcalfe Street.
Tailor.

but can only find a death in 3rd Q 1847 for the right area, which is a year later.

the possible burial you gave me was,
All Saints Church.
13th. August. 1846.
William Gough. An Infant.

I hate having to ask if you could please recheck that burial date, as you are so spot on.

appreciate your understanding

Sylvia

Thank you so much for those Mike,

How sad is this one.
1845.
Entry No’. 100. 21.st. May.
Thomas. Son of the Late John & the Late Mary GOUGH.
Metcalfe Street.
Tailor.
D.J. Didmay. Curate.

Mary had died 2 days earlier of Inflamation of Lungs and John died of Disease of the Heart, There is a birth for a Thomas Gough 1st Q 1845 and death 1st Q 1846, wonder if the infant you found buried at St Georges church 1846 is him, as i cannot see him in 1851.

According to the 1841 census Harriot was 6 years older than John, would there be any reason she was baptised 4 years later than he was?

Although its far too early, i found a 1722 map of Leicester, which shows the North Gate and St Margarets, would the North-Gate on the baptisms refer to the same area?

MIKE.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for finding those, it looks like the Mary Gough who died 1844 was not mine,i do have the death certs for both John 1844 and Mary Gough 1845 and buried at St Margarets, they both died in Metcalf St, where they lived in 1841

Would appreciate it if you could look at the father (a Tailor) and address of those baptisms please, i had not thought about there being any more children other than the ones on the 1841 census

I think i found the Harriot Gough in 1851 you mentioned, she is with George and Mary Devenport (the marriage you found), but although she is the right age it says she was born in Northhampton, i have checked the image too, i cannot find Harriot/ Harriet in 1841 born Northamptonshire, so could be her. Will keep an open mind on that one.

Thank you again, much appreciated

could you do a census lookup on 61 census for a nathaniel clarke b 1852 woodhouse leicestershire
many thanks

yes mike i understand why sorry for asking

Greeting’s again. ……. Dewdrop.

I’m very sorry but due to the costs involved to obtain
That information…….
I’ve decided not to do look ups for the 1911. Census.
But if you go to Find my past web site
Then you’ll be able to register yourself ( FREE )
Then buy your credits = 60 Units = £6.95.( lasts 90 days )

Then go to 1911 Census web site & FREE Register there
You’ll be able to use your Units.

For 10 Units you’ll be able to down load the TRANSCRIPT
Which would give you just Names and age of who else is with John.
Plus the Address.

Or for 30 Units download the CENSUS IMAGE.

I can confirm that there is a record for your John born 1882.
So for the cost of only 10 Units you’ll be able to answer who else is with John.

Plus until 2012 I would be in breach of the Copyright rules by passing on information from the site regarding data on the image to a third party.via a public forum

I hope you’ll understand my decision regarding Look ups for 1911. Census.

MIKE.
