Hi folks As it's holiday time, thought I'd offer lookups in parish registers for the Coalville area: Ibstock, Whitwick, Hugglescote etc. PLEASE give as much info as possible to give me a good chance of finding something! I probably won't go until next Wednesday (8th) at the earliest... Jan

hi can someone look up a thomas clarke b 1788 narborough leicester on 1861 census plz have his death in 1869 thanks sj

Greeting's Again........ Paul. Right got that The trick will be to find out which Ward it came under apart that it's the Saffron Estate...... Do you have any certificates where this address is mentioned ? It might state the Ward somewhere along the top near to the Parish name. MIKE. GOT IT ....FREEMANS WARD. ' Watch this space then ........'

Thanks Mike, The address is 28 Marriott Road Leicester U.D. I am hopeing there will be William Taylor Rose Eva Taylor and maybe Emily Jane Perry If they are there I have found my Grandparents and G.Grandmother. Thanks Paul

Greeting's Again Paul...... Electoral Rolls is the only way seeing the years you want But the names will only be of those able to vote...... It's possible to order theses on Fiches at your local LDS Centre but come at £2.70 per fiche which could workout expensive. .... I could do it for you here in Leicester Once I know the Address MIKE.

Hi Mike a little question on how? How can I find out who lived at an address in Leicester in 1933/34/35/and 36 if I don't live in Leicester, would my local library have the details? Thanks Paul

C. = Common Plot. F. = Freehold Plot. Didn’t see Rebecca Pool(e) unless buried in her married name ? Re burial of Thomas in the Methodist faith ? St. George Chapel was not very big plus it was within the crowded District off Wharf Street.& didn’t have a graveyard of it’s own. I would think it more likely Thomas was buried within the Un consecrated Ground of a E.o E. Church somewhere within the Borough of Leicester. Now some where in the back of my mind ( No funnies please Maggie …lol ) I recall an article in the Leicester Mercury with reference to a Graveyard just for Nonconformists Which stood on the corner of Soar Lane / Great Central Street. Which would have put it in the right area. I believe it was decommissioned in 1899 when the Great Central Railway Built their turntable in the area. But I doubt if burial records have been kept for this site . Early Pool(e) or Sound a Like Burials :~ East Bond Street Congregational.

Thanks very much for checking Thomas Poole, Mike. If you have time to have a look at the Record Office, that'd be great. If Thomas does belong to my Joseph and Hannah Pool I assume he died before 1841, because there's no sign of him on the censuses. If the burial isn't the one at St. Nicholas, could it have been recorded by the Methodist Church? All the other members of the Pool family whose burials I've found so far (Joseph, Hannah and Rebecca) are at Welford Road Cemetery.

Thanks Mike Paul

Greeting's & Welcome Scoucer O' Leicester.... Just to confirm your inquiry :~ U.D. = Urban District. Which meant that the ' Borough of Leicester' was not responsible for any of the Services Gas Electricity, Water. &. Sanitary Waste disposable . Plus they paid a different rate of Tax for these Services & not Borough rates of Tax's. ...... Marriott Road ...would come under Wigston I think being on the ' Saff ' But today now is back with the City MIKE.

Thanks it's been driveing me mad and what makes it worse it's so obvious. Paul

u.d. = urban district (I think!) Jan

Hi Mike This may sound a silly question but it's only easy if you know, on the death certificate of my grandmother It says her address was 28 Marriott road Leicester U.D. what do's U.D stand for. thanks Paul

Greeting’s Again Mary O’ Italy…… Checked out both your Queries for Thomas…. via I.G.I. Batch No.'s.... & my disks I think the Female bit is a mistake of LDS. Yes it was St. Nicolas Parish Church for a burial of a Thomas See Index from my disk :~ St. Nicolas Parish Church Leicester. POOLE THOMAS 11 SEP 1837 INF Now...... I don’t wish to dash your hopes But I would have thought the age would have been Aged.3. and not “ INF.” = Infant. The term “ Infant” usually relates to a child having NOT reached their 1st. birthday.0 ~1. George Street Primitive Methodist records COULD be at the Records Office ? I could check this out next time I’m there. Also I can have a look at that burial from St. Nicolas Parish Registers It MIGHT just give parents names. And an address. But usually reads thus :~ 1837. Entry No. XXX Thomas Pole. Infant…..Buried Sept. 11th…….Name of Officiating Minster. MIKE.xx

Hi Mike, thanks anyway. I will try that. Vicky

Greeting's........ Victoria. Sorry..... But none of those names appeared on my Welford Road Cemetery Burial Indexes...... Seeing it was during the war years so documentation could be scarce But you could try Gilroes Cemetery You could try getting in touch with the City Council Cemeteries Office link below :~ All cemetery and crematorium matters are dealt with at our central office in New Walk Centre, Leicester. Address: Burial & Cremation Manager, New Walk Centre, Welford Place, Leicester, LE1 6ZG. Telephone (U.K.): 0116 252 7382/7383 Fax (U.K): 0116 222 8706 E-Mail: cemeteries( Hat )leicester.gov.uk Remove brackets and replace (Hat) with the other icon. But it can be expensive I hear they are charging £20 per person per hour Or if you do the search in person then it's £5 per person per hour. Sorry ..... MIKE.

Hi again, I was wondering if you could help me find out where a few people were buried? Lilian Tansey died 1915 aged 3 Florence Tansey died 1915 aged 0 Both lived in the St Matthews area of Leicester William Lewis died 1913 aged 0 Ellen Lewis died 1914 aged 0 Both lived within the parish of Holy Trinity, but they don't perform burials there to my knowledge. Any help would be great, Vicky

Mike, Thanks for info about John Lee's sunrise - our village is having own smaller version. Don't expect to be back from Jambo until pretty late on Tuesday. Boots already in car!! Thanks for travel link, staying overnight Monday in North Weald so as to get to bus at airfield in good time Tuesday. Made it To St Margaret's church last week (where two of my Butlers were married in 1800's), and have found info about Open Day at All Saints (August 25th) which is the parish where Thomas Edward (The Chemist) Butler was born. Happy Sunrise, will bring you a stick o' rock (if I can find one!!) from Jambo!! Mary, Thanks for translation of 10/-. Sadly, tho not as old as Mike, am old enough to remember 'old money' - got my Thrift Badge as a Brownie by saving 15/- in my Post Office account!! Maggie

FAO of Wendy Taylor: re Taylors in Stoney Stanton My husband's ancestors include one Caroline TAYLOR, b. 1844, daughter of John Taylor (b. abt 1800, Dunton Bassett) and Ann Osborn (b abt 1806, Buckby, Northampton). Some of the names on Mike's list could refer to members of this family. Do get in touch if you think there might be a connection. Jan
