Maggie, 10/- is 10 shillings. It's obviously been a very long time since Mike last went to a rummage sale :-)

Hi Mike, can I pick your brains, please? I'm investigating the children of Joseph Pool and Hannah Knight, who were married at St. Margaret's in 1823 and lived in Burgess Street, in the All Saints district of Leicester. The children who appear on the censuses are Rebecca (1823), Anne (1838), William (1841) and James (1843). I have William's birth certificate (he was my great-grandfather). As there's a very long gap between Rebecca's birth and Anne's, I decided to check the IGI to see if there were any more children, and I found an extracted entry for Thomas Poole, female (?), parents Joseph Poole and Ann Night, born 21/12/1834 and christened 5/1/1835 at George Street Primitive Methodist Church, Leicester. He doesn't appear on any census, but the NBI has a burial on 11/9/1837 for Thomas Poole, infant, All Saints, Leicester. As Ann Night is so similar to Hannah Knight, I'm inclined to think this Thomas is one of mine. Do you happen to know where the George Street Primitive Methodist Church registers would be? Not sure if the 'All Saints' in the NBI is the district or the church; it seems odd that he'd be christened in the Methodist church and buried in the C of E. Do you have any burials for that date and place?

Hi Everyone Im looking for Surnames of: JONES - TAYLOR - GADD- BRAY from Leicester and Stoney Stanton. Missing links. I have hit to many bricks walls. Thanks Wendy Taylor

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.

*** 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.

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. *** ……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.
