Hi Mike, thanks for that. I will check the records you mentioned when I next go to the records office. Yes, those are the 10 children I know of, my nanna (William’s daughter) says that he was 1 of 13 so I am trying to find the other 3. I know one of the missing 3 was called Rose/Rosie and she died when she was a toddler. Thank again, Vicky

Mike Re: non-conformists and hen's teeth. Yes .... I had discovered that. The problem, of course, is that they often did not practice child baptisms and that not all of them kept good records. As I understand it, you could only legally get married in the CoE at the time which is why one finds marriage records but not the others.

had info from family member that john henry b1882 oadby married gertrude weston/clarke at the baptist chapel in oadby can someone check this out for me year 1906 thanks sj

***F.A.O. ***...... Jon O' Kent. Sorry..... Trawled the Baptism Registers going on years & Parishes from ages given for those three Tomkins. plus + / - 2 years .....( just in case..... ) Also checked out Burial Registers just in case there was a Service of Thanks given prior to Burial But drew a blank on all three.......... Can only think they were not Baptised at all as they were young ? Sorry. ...... MIKE.

Greeting’s Again Sarah……. Now you have some of the rough building blocks in place . You will have to verify these by a visit to the Records Office And see if there is any more details which will prove that it’s the right line you are about to follow……….. Your query the DOUBLE entry for the Marriage. William Howkins ~ Diana Briers. 1803. This could be due to a wrong transcription of the date that was stated in the first entry You can not cross out details once written on Registers. You have to make out an other entry….. Re:~ the Marriage of Fred Howkins ~ Elizabeth Pickering 1900.July August Sept Qrt. Ashby de la Zouch District ( Woodville ) I can not get an answer from my colleague. So it looks like you’ll have to order the Certificate using the Ref No.’s I’ve given you before. Sorry the answer will have to be paid for this time and not come free via your PC screen. This also goes for the Marriage Gertrude Weston ~ Clarke In the Baptist Chapel 1906. Oadby June. Qrt. Blaby District. Cert No. 7 a. 108. The Records Office do not hold Baptist Chapel Records .....Sorry MIKE.

*** F.A.O. *** ……Paul. Sorry for the delay I had difficulty in finding out In which Ward Gayton Avenue came under. ……. But found it in the end it was under Latimer Ward No. 5. And latter on Ward No.2. No 15. Gayton Avenue………. FIRST appeared on the Electoral Rolls in the Summer of 1936. Assume it was NOT built in 1933.? Abv. :~ R.O. = Residence Occupation. R.W. = Residence Woman. Jnr = Junior Same Christian name. a. Forces = Absent voter in the serving Forces. J. = Jury service. 1936. First Occupants were :~ Alfred NEAL. R.O. Gertrude Neal. R.W. This continued as above till :~ 1945. Alfred Neal. R.O. Gertrude Neal. R.W. Gertrude Jnr. R.O. 1948. :~ Gertrude Neal. R.O. Gertrude Archer. R.O. Frank Archer. a. Forces 1949. Gertrude Neal R.O. Gertrude Archer. R.O. Frank Archer. R.O. This continues till :~ 1961. In WARD. No. 2. Gertrude Neal. R.O. 1962. Patrick Allen. J. Janet Patrick. Continues as above till :~ 1969. Patrick Allen. J Janet Allen. J.P. Robinson. 1970. Patrick Allen. Janet Allen. This is were I stopped…… So now you have the History of :~ 15. Gayton Avenues. MIKE.

Thank you Mike at least that saves me going down the wrong road so to speak I can now concentrate on other avenues. Paul

*** F.A.O. *** Sarah....... Birth Certificates ( as we know then now ) did not start till Summer 1837. In 1830 your only proof of a birth is a copy of the Baptism Registers of Bruntingthorpe. Which are held on Fiches at the Records Office Wigston. From My little Red Book :~ Look up's. 31.05.07. Bruntingthorpe Baptism registers reads thus :~ ANNO DOMINI :~ 1830. Page 22. Entry No. 171. 28th. March. 1830. Henry. Son of Richard & Mary Barsby. Bruntingthorpe. Stocking Maker. Thomas Freeman. Curate. MIKE.

Greeting's Again Paul...... ' Your very welcome ' Wish I had got a match for you..... But if we can be of help again please ask again.... MIKE.
