Does anyone know a Pam Kelly who moved to Leicestershire from Haywards Heath?

Greeting's & Welcome Kay...... Yes...... I knew the Newtons very well.... Both (Ray & Roger )were in my Scout Troop 1955. ~ 66. 41st Leicester's. St. James the Greater Church. Not to sure about Roger ....But Ray is living up in Keswick when I last spoke to him Through Friends reunited site ( 2005.) MIKE. UPDATE. The only Roger Newton birth for the years 1940. ~ 48. :- Oct.~ Nov. ~ Dec. Qrt. 1944. Roger Newton. Leicester. Cert. No. 7a. 361. Mother's Maiden Name = Culey.

I wonder if anyone can steer me in the right direction to look for Roger Newton. His parents ran a wet fish shop from 2, Hamilton Street, LEICESTER in the 1960's He was most probably born between 1943-47 (aged early 60's now) As this is all I have to go on, I am at a loss as to where/which reference sources I should be looking at Please help!!! Kay

' Your very welcome '....... Those Names seem familiar........? Did I not find these in the ' Burley Corner ' of St. Andrew's Church yard Countesthorpe the other year ? One of them buried with her one year old Son ? MIKE.

Mike Do you have a death for Countesthorpe Leics for Mary Burley from 1775 to 1881 please. Sue............

Thankyou Mike.....

Greeting's Again Stranger .....lol, Have checked through my resources to hand Inc. V.R.I. using both surnames..... I can only confirm the same one you found that of Joseph to Jane 1703. St Andrews Countesthorpe. Nothing showed for St. Peter's Whetstone. I can only have a look through the Parish Registers for you next time I'm at Wigston..... I see what I can come up with using the details you have posted .... NOW.... Lol...The only Ann Taylor Marring about 1703 Would you believe was in Horncastle ( John Rogers ) Not a lot know that ...lol MIKE. xx

Hello Mike Do you think you could look in your marriage index for me for Joseph Burley married 1705 to either Ann Taylor or Jane Taylor I have it that he married Ann but the IGI is telling me Jane? Wedding possibly Countesthorpe or Whetstone. Sue........... Thankyou Mike

Greeting's again Sheila..... ' Your very welcome ...' Lets see what comes up next week when I have a look at the records they do have ..... Hoping it will give wife's names..... Regards the photo coping yes it can be done.... But not sure on details which might fall into the 100 year rule So not be able to copy ..... Photo coping can be a bit expensive at Wigston..... MIKE.

Hi Mike I am forever in your debt...again. Two witnesses of William Goadby's Will made in 1942 were Arthur Henry Smith of 2 Denmark Street and William Arthur Smith of Taylor Street, carpenter and joiner. I would guess that William was Arthur's son. The mystery is that no-one ever mentioned Arthur, or his half sister Annie Riley, so it was a bit of a surprise to find he was a witness and was around at the same time as my mother. Was hoping an electoral roll entry might give me name of his wife and/or other members of the family. Is there a photo archive at Wigston? Cheers Sheila

Greeting's Again Sheila.... Remember this one..... Mother gave us the run around ...... Using the Trade Directories I have to hand This is the latest records I can go to ..... Leicester Trade Directory 1916.:- Denmark Street / Taylor Street. No. 2. Denmark Street. ARTHUR HENRY SMITH. Shopkeeper. Don't forget that for the years 1939 ~ 1945. It was ( World War II ) So I understand no elections took place..... Next time I'm at the Records Office Wigston I'll see what I can find .... MIKE.

Arthur Henry Smith Born 1882 in Leeds Son of William Smith and Ann Smith (formerly Goadby, nee Bodycote, later Riley) I'd never heard of him until I found him on the census for 1891 and 1901 at 2 Denmark Street. Because no-one in the family had ever mentioned him I assumed he had perhaps died young, but no, he witnessed my great grandad, William Goadby, his half brother's Will in 1942. He was still living at 2 Denmark Street and gave his profession as grocer, like his mother and her mother before her. I now realise that he was very much alive and that my mother must have known him, although she and my gran denied that Ann had had any children by her second and third marriages. Would anyone be able to help with an electoral roll look up for that address sometime between 1901 and 1942? Does anyone have Arthur Henry Smith in their tree? Sheila 'The more I find out the less I know'

Thank you Elaine
