I tried Camilla Law just before I went out, only just got down to sit at the computer now. Wish I could find Sarah 1841 and then maybe I could get somewhere. She must have made an impression if Kirkman was my grandads middle name!. Lots of searching to do but a bit late now Elaine

Going on her 1st. name & her 8 months old daughter's name on the 1851 Census -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAMILLA SARA KIRKMAN Female ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: 25 DEC 1816 Bagworth, Leicester, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: ROBERT KIRKMAN. Mother: SARA MIKE. xxx UPDATED ....... Can't see her on the 1841. YET...... That Elizabeth aged 5 on that 1851. Indexed return is in fact daughter of James & Elizabeth Wright who are next door to William & Sarah / Camillia Wright So she would have the same ref No as the others just had a look at the 1851 Census returns on line HO 107 / 2087 / 667 / Page. 14.

Hi Mike Was wondering if you had any records for Bagworth. Looking for Sarah Kirkman, looks like I've boobed on her age and should be c1815 not 1825 as I read. Here they are 1851 1851.INDEX ONLY Census. Vol. 23. Index No. 667. = South Thurmaston. WRIGHT. William.40. Sarah. 36. Emily.S. 5. Elizabeth. 5. MARY. E. 2. Camila. 8 Months. Old. Elaine

sorry Mike - yes I meant old newpapers, in particular the bereavement section and 'local news'. thanks.

Greeting's Again Tom.... Can you clarify the ' Old Papers ' ? Is that Newspapers ? If so I would have thought they would be only viewed via Overhead projectors film. I know they do sell fiches. Last time I knew these were aprox. £3.00 each. So can you clarify then I'll ask for you this week at the Records Office. MIKE.

hi Mike - do you know if old papers from Coleorton / Ashby De la Zouch are available to buy on a CD or available at the records office? In particular bereavements from 1830 - 1880. As you know I live in Leeds so it is a bit of a way to go. thanks.,

Thank you so much Mike, you are an angel.I will study them in the morning, when the computers not on. Sylvia

Hello Please can you help? I am trying to find the marriage of Joseph Silvester c 1813 and Priscilla Watts c1821, very likely in Loughborough. The 1851 census shows them in Loughborough with their son Joseph Watts Silvester. I have his birth certificate for 6/3/1849 and they appear to be married at this time. Thanks for any help you can give Molly
