Replying to Mary from Italy re William WOOD. Hi Mary - I am the page owner/creator of the English Midlands General Baptist site and have just found this thread (9 years later!) while searching for information on Benjamin & Elizabeth (nee BURDETT) WOOD.

I am interested to see that a William NORTH, b Rothley, was lodging in 1851 with John BURDETT & wife Mary, and also to read that parents of possible Wm NORTH were William NORTH and Elizabeth WOOD.

I can tell you that John BURDETT, born Cauldwell DBY, was son of Job BURDETT and wife Elizabeth NORTON (sister of my paternal 4x gt-grandfather).

Job BURDETT was the first minister of the Cauldwell General Baptist Church. He died aged 28 after about 6 years of marriage, but in that time he & Elizabeth had 3 children: John (above) born c1783, Elizabeth (b c 1784) who married Benjamin WOOD (in Shackerstone in 1806) and her twin, Sarah, who married George NORTON (their 1st cousin). Benjamin WOOD also became a General Baptist Minister.

Therefore the fact that William NORTH (b c 1819) was lodging with John BURDETT strongly suggests that he was a General Baptist. The fact that you have a possible mother for him who was nee WOOD (or possibly WOOD by previous marriage) may also suggest a General Baptist connection, although may be coincidental.

I suggest that the General Baptist records may well provide the answers to your search. (NB: Rothley GB church was established in 1802, when it was split off from Loughborough GB. In its turn, Loughborough was established in 1760, after being split off from Barton in the Beans (aka Barton Fabis), the "mother" church which was established in 1745. You may therefore have to search Loughborough GB records for earlier entries.

Sorry about the length of this post.
PS If you have any luck in the meantime I would love to hear.

Regards, Blanche Charles (nee NORTON)

Hi Mike Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find John's marriage either on familysearch. His first child was born in 1835 so there would be no certificate. I have already got the other information that you sent but thank you very much anyway. I will check the thread in a couple of weeks time. Thank you for going to so much trouble it will be brilliant if you could find John's parents. I now live near Newcastle upon Tyne so am unable to look up the parish records myself. Incidently, my home along Elmesthorpe Lane was one of the bungalows at the bottom opposite the old farm house. Lindsey

Just to say im starting part Ten so please use that thread Bev

Hi Mike, I look forward to hearing what you find. Many thanks again for the other info. Wendy

Greeting’s Again…….. Wendy Ummm..? Having looked at the 1841. Census returns for Duns Lane. (Thanks for the pointer as to where they were ) It's difficult to tell if Jane was the Wife That’s one of the downsides to early Censuses. It doesn’t include the relationship to Head of the Household. If I get time next time I’m at the Records Office at Wigston I’ll have a look at the Marriage Registers for those Marriages, and hope ages are given then that should clear up the question as to whether there was two marriages ? MIKE.

Fantastic Mike. That looks very much like mine. Thank you. I found Joseph at Dunns Lane, St. Mary's Parish, Leicester in 1841. Wendy

Greeting’s Wendy……. Sorry I’m having difficulties finding the two Joseph’s You found on the 1841. Census. I’ll have to trawl through each page for St. Nicholas Parish. As They are not showing up on the search…:0((( But will continue this after Lunch….. But to answer your second question Re:- Two Marriages for a Joseph to a Jane ? ? In 1826 & 1800. ish….Within the Borough of Leicester. 1st.Marriage :- Joseph Jacques. ~ Jane Loveday. 21st. September. 1796. St. Nicholas Parish Church Leicester. Following Banns. 2nd Marriage :- Joseph Jacques. ~ Jane Walker. 1826. St. Nicholas Parish Church Leicester. Following Banns. Christening’s Found :- Alice Jacques. Born 17th. August. 1812. Christened 18th. August. 1812. St. Nicholas Parish Church Leicester. Father :- Joseph Jacques. Mother :- Jane. Joseph Jacques. Christened 1st. March. 1827. St. Nicholas Parish Church Leicester. Father Joseph Jacques. Mother. :- Jane. Jacques burials found for St. Nicholas Parish Church Leicester. Names. / Dates./ Age. / :- Jacques Eliza 22 Dec 1847 20 Jacques Hannah 08 Jan 1837 5 JACQUES JANE 27 FEB 1820 48 Jacques Joseph 15 Nov 1846 76 Is this Jane née Loveday Burial ? The Joseph burial could be the Father of Joseph jnr. ? Off now to cook Lunch…….. Back soon…… MIKE.

I would be grateful if you could possibly help me with my GG Grandfather Joseph Jacques. He appears on the 1841 census (born 1827 Leicester) with Joseph (c1771) and Jane Jacques (1799) who I assume are his parents. (I know his father is Joseph a FWK from his marriage certificate) However this Jane is a lot younger than Joseph and she is a widow in 1851. It is possible that Joseph married twice. Could you see if there is a marriage for Joseph Jacques and Jane about 1826 in Leicester, and perhaps a possible one about 1800. Hope you can help. Regards Wendy

Greeting’s Again Lindsy…….. Thanks for the confirmation it was in deed the right John I was tracking I hope to get to the records Office by Thursday So.. This will not fit into your timetable for this week so I’ll keep the results On ice so to speak and post them within the next two weeks The only fly in the ointment is that we could then be on Part TEN …. So next time you manage to get back on here look for either Part Nine or TEN Or.. click on my name and send me a private message Have you thought of putting the find board on your favorites short cuts ? Elmesthorpe Lane…Know it well just round the corner from my Brother on Belmoral Road…..Daughters on Park Road next to what was the Old Folks Home. Do you have Johns marriage certificate or details.? I have not found any ref to it yet. That could be another way to find out both Fathers names….. I hope you’ll manage to get back to pick up this message…… Do have a stress free move and hope you’ll get fixed up with internet connection soon & have a restful holiday. … MIKE. UPDATED…..

Hi Mike So sorry for the delay in replying. I've been to work all day and getting my daughter off the computer at night is - well impossible. You have the right John Haswell. He was married to Elizabeth who was born at St margarets, Leicester. It would be brilliant if you could get the information of his birth from the records for me thank you very very much. There's just a slight problem though. I am moving house on Tuesday and I won't be able to get broadband for three or four days. Then I am going on holiday on Friday so it may be a couple of weeks before I can look at your thread. I'm just hoping that I will be able to find it. Incidently, I used to live down Elmesthorpe Lane with my parents if you know that area. My home is in Newcastle upon Tyne now though. Thanks again Lindsey

Leicestershire Foxes are 20 x 20 Cricket Champions again…… Beat Nottinghamshire by 4 runs in an exciting finial ….. Well Done.. MIKE. :0)))

Greeting’s & Welcome...... Lindsey…. Great Village Earl Shilton……. Elder Brother & my Daughter live there….. Due to the early birth date of your John (c1818.) I’ll have to look him up in the Parish Registers at the Records Office this week……. To get the answer you are looking for……… Is it the John Haswell who marries an Elizabeth ? She was born St. Margaret’s Parish Leicester. I have a John & Elizabeth Haswell found on 1841, Censuses ( 1851, Has Kasah) & 1861.Elizabeth as a Widow Within either Aston Flamville & Burbage Parishes. Just wonder if he is the son of John Haswell & Hannah née Croft Who were married 2nd Sept 1803. Claybrooke Magna By Licence. ( Claybrooke is only 7.9 miles from Burbage ) Haswell Burials found for Burbage:- Names. / Dates. / Ages.:- Haswell George 23 Oct 1857 16 Haswell JOHN 18 Nov 1860 48 Haswell Elizabeth 21 Nov 1867 11 Haswell Elizabeth 14 Jan 1868 Inf Haswell Betsy 4 Nov 1879 26 Haswell John 26 Mar 1883 43 Await your confirmation this could be the right John his birth date was not the same through out the Census returns went from 1814 ~ 16. Before I look at the parish Registers At Wigston Records Office. MIKE. ( Just a back room worker on Bev's thread....lol :0))) )

Hi Mike Someone has directed me to your thread which I am finding very interesting as I come from Leicestershire, Earl Shilton in fact. I am hoping that you can help me. I am looking for the baptism of John Haswell, born in 1818 in Burbage and am hoping that this will give me the names of his parents. Lindsey
