*** F.A.O…….. Elaine *** I have now been through the five Parish Records which served St. Matthew’s Estate :- St. Luke’s, St. Matthews, St. George’s, Christchurch, St. Marks. For the years 1889 through to 1892. For the marriage of Henry Arthur Williamson & Florence Kate Wright But sorry drew a blank in all of them Do you wish me to widen the search for years before 1889. ? Or are you putting your hand in your pocket and order the Certificate using the Ref 7a 337. ? Any way better New’s on the other Marriage look up for George Isaac Ward. Found the marriage which gave the ages as George 21. Ann 22. Also found the signed statement of bonds……. If you give me a moment whilst I scan them and then send them to you via your E-mail address (*ahoo *) but make sure your in box is empty Will send them as TWO separate messages…… MIKE.xxx

Hello, I did post a request on 17th August, asking if you had any info on the Whelbands, Welbands or Wellbands, and I haven't had a reply. Have I offended you in any way, did you overlook me, or is ther just no mention of them. Judith x

Mike The only time I ever heard a Somerset accent like that was from a Wiltshire boy who had had too much scrumpy!! Great l/ups - Sheepy Thomas is Maria Holyland's husband and those Mkt Bosworth are likely to be Maria's parents. Many thanks! Elaine - not tried that site - will do it now. Hopping back to my Somerset board now! Jan

L O...... Auntie Jane.... My Trade Directories only go up to 1914. When Walter Gilbet was the Licensee of the Bricklayers Arms 78 Welford Road. The years you want are 1950 ~ 60 's ....( Right ? ) Let me have a look at the Records Office to see what I can find for you. I know three doors down ( 84 ) Mr Woodward ran the Greengrocers Shop back in the 60's who I worked with.....but that ain't no use to you ...lol :0))) MIKE. xx

HI Leicestershire people! I am struggling with a Maria Holyland who in Nov 1841 married in Cadeby. She was born c1816 and father was Thomas a labourer. A Phillis Holyland witnessed the wedding. I am trying to link her to the Holyland family of Market Bosworth where a Phillis lived in 1841 with father Thomas. Maria was working elsewhere in 1841 census. Also does anyone have burial records of Sheepy Magna/Parva for the Brookes family. Any help much appreciated. Jan mainly Somerset

Hi Mike Ah but not got anything about a marriage licence yet so excited anyway, always hopeful. Tracked a few of my Wards since you helped with the baptisms of Jonas's children. Still tracking fishmongers between Newark and Leicester! One daughter marries a Wand which I first thought said Ward and found their marriage in a parish record -my first poper find myself - I love it Elaine Hopwell isn't one of mine
