Hi Paul, I already have your e-mail address, I'll e-mail you now.

Mike Again, many thanks for your time and effort. I thought the Markfield origin was strange, will try and do more reaearch on that one. Regards John (Kent) ****FAO Jan Moore******* ****and Mike the Leicester lad' This could be the marriage you are seeking, Joseph MOORE/Emily BURROWS Oct-Dec qtr 1926 7a279 Ashby De La Zouch John

Greeting's Again John O ' Kent..... Yes I too thought a bit strange....:o/ He from Markfield and her from Wartnaby just the other side of Melton Mowbray.... OH YES Thank you We know the marriage Ref including the date of 18th. Dec of the marriage I'm trawling the 31 Parishes within the Ashby District via the Records Office Wigston ...:o(((( only another ten Parishes to go ... Otherwise it's a Civil Marriage or Nonconformist Service...... MIKE.

Mike you are a hero!!! Having done a fair amount of parish register scrutinising myself, I appreciate what's involved. I never thought about a marriage any where other than a parish church - it will be very interesting if it turns out to be a non-conformist...But my father-in-law's family were all christened at the parish church and counted themselves as members to some extent... Hope you do find them, Mike... Janx

*** F.A.O. ***.....Jan Moore. I have now completed the trawl through the (31) Parish Registers of the Ashby De La Zouch District ....At the Records Office . I'm sorry to say that I didn't find the Marriage ...... Although my heart did skip a beat both at Stoney Stanton & Whitwick there was a Marriage at both for the 18th, Dec.1926....... But not in the names we were looking for I also had the privilege to look at the original Marriage entries for the Methodist Chapel for Whitwick.... But again I drew a blank...... So.... That just leaves a Civil Marriage Service...... which You'll have to order the Certificate in order to see it. Civil Events are not held at the Records Office. So...' It's hand in your pocket time '..... Sorry...... I did try my best for you ... MIKE.

Mike Your efforts are much appreciated - wonder where they married then? Another item on the certificate wanted list. (sigh!) Do you happen to know where they would have gone for a civil ceremony? I'm now wondering why they may have made that choice especially if they had to get to Ashby. It's only 10-15 minutes away these days but I guess then it would have taken much longer. The local parish church would seem to the easier choice. Oh well will find it out one day! Thanks again for trying. Jan

Greeting’s Again Jan….. Thinking a loud here now ….. Seeing that there was a Marriage taking place both at Stoney Stanton & Whitwick 18th. Dec 1926…..( As stated in my last post ) They could have gone to Coalville Register Office ? Just a hop ~ skip & jump down the Road from Whitwick. 2.2. Miles as the Crow fly’s…. Coalville comes under the DISTRICT of Ashby De La Zouch. They might not have Married in the Town of Ashby De La Zouch just because that was the District stated on the Ref. No. We’ll only know once the certificate is got ….. MIKE.xx

Mike Three cheers for you for all the time that you give to us looking for our ancestors as if you havn't got enough of your own to do. Sue........... Many thanks Mike you are so kind and thoughtful.I bet your scout lads make a fuss of you !

Hello, names I;m looking for: DAVENPORT STINSON AYRE KNOTT In and around Ashby De La Zouch and ColeOrton. .

Greeting's again Tom....... And the years you are looking for ? .... Are these Davenport's the Registrars I have found for you before ? MIKE.

Hi Mike, looking for all of them from 1860 backwards really. Yes the Davenports are the registrars, but not the superintendant one - just a 'simple' one. lol. The Stinsons were publicans and victuallers. The Davenports were also publicans. Mike: - do you know anyting about ColeOrton, was just wondering about the size of the cemetery?

Hi Mike As reliable as ever!! Thanks Ken

Greetings again Mike I am trying to identify the enumeration district number covering Ashby Road, Hinckley for the 1901 census. Can you help with this one please ?. Jon O' Kent

Hi Does anyone know where Mike is ive not seen him on this thread or on other sites message boards.I just want to know he is ok Bev

Hi Bev Yes, I'm having the same thoughts, could be on holiday or more likely a scout convention, wherever he is he deserves a break. Jon O'Kent

Hi Jon yes i agree he does deserve a break its just you miss seeing his name on boards. Bev
