Greeting’s……… Sarah. In a nut shell ….NO. The ref No’s will not mean a thing to them. You really need the Church Name. I’m born & living in the area of East Park Road. Next time you go to Records Office try the following :~ St. Saviour's Parish Church. St. Peter’s Parish Church. St. Chad’s Parish Church. St. Stephens Parish Church. If it was higher number on East Park Road try :~ St. James the Greater Parish Church. St. Philip’s Parish Church. Plus many Nonconformist Church Chapels and Roman Catholic Churches Which the Records Office might not have on record. But it might be quicker to order the Certificate from G.R.O. MIKE. |

Greeting’s Again Sarah. The only Clarke Baptism Showing up In Woodhouse with Parents Thomas & Ann 1811 Through to 1840. Is Thus :~ Sarah Clarke. 6th. May 1828. St, Mary – in – the- Elms. Woodhouse. Father :~ Thomas. Mother :~ Ann. Notes :~ Sarah born 2nd May Thomas is a Frame Work Knitter. And living in Woodhouse Eaves. Re you Marriage 1924 in Leicester. So….. It will be a trawl through Parish Registers then when you go to the Records Office. Whilst your there Perhaps you could check out Baptism Registers for Woodhouse. as it’s before Birth Registration So only way to be sure is to look at the Parish Registers. MIKE. |

Greeting's Sarah ...... In a nut shell ...NO.,,,,,, to place of birth. Just the address they were at the time of the marriage . It will have the ages also Father's name & Occupation But 1st you have to know the Church they were married in Otherwise it's a trawl through Parish Registers of the known Churches within the area. MIKE. |

Ooops Mike, sorry, missed your big day!! Hope it was a good one. See you survived it!! Assume from lack of report in Leicester Mercury about birthday cake fire in Leicester that you were able to contain the blaze!! www(.)scoutstuff(.)org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?ctlg=05NDC&ctgy=products&c2=GIFTS&C3=CARDS&C4=&LV=3&item=30514 |

Hi Sarah Once you have registered, go into which ever search you want eg marriage, all of these links are on the right hand side of the page. Once open, at the top of the page you will find certain criteria, choose which way you want to search. I often just put Leicester in after choosing registration district in the first box. Click on view next to the cert details and if you are lucky, the person who has put their cert on the net will have left an e-mail address. Elaine |
