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. ***...... 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.

Hi I am looking for Plowmans in the Melton Mowbay area , any descendants of William Plowman born Wigginton Yorks and Ann Bell who were married in Melton in 1783.Other family names are Forster ,Felstead , Flint, Loseby. Thanks Christine

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

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.

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

Thanks Mike It can wait! Elaine

Mike Do you have many look ups Thursday? Am after a buriel from a death cert and am sure it will be St George's as usual. Have death for Charles Henry Ward died 5th May 1858 1yr son of James Ward fishmonger (master). The informant is a Catherine Hart of 19 Curzon Street, was hoping for a burial at St George's a couple of days later, son of James and Maria, need to confirm the mother before I can decide if he is my Ward. It is a recurring family name ie Charles Henry Thanks (can wait if you are bogged down) Elaine

I wonder if anyone could help me? I'm trying to find the baptisms for my gt grandfather and his siblings. His parents William Tansey and Florence Platts were married at St Matthews Church in August 1902, my gt grandad William Tansey was born 2 months later in Curzon Street followed by at least 9 other children over a 25 year period (I know there is more children I have yet to find!). I have been to the leicester records office and so far have had no luck finding them at the St Matthews parish. Does anybody have any records from around this time that could help me or suggest were to luck next time I go to the records office? I know they stayed in the same area. Thanks for any help, Vicky

Hi Elaine Thanks for comfirming question on Sarah Gent Nee Allwood I didn't see that she was a widow when I looked at the cencus for 1851. Two pairs of eyes are better than one, or in my case three pairs including Mikes. I will have to go to Shepshed and look at burial register. Thanks again Linda
