Hi Mike have found another marriage at St Margs. Would you kindly look up the entry for Frederick Warren and Charlotte Pywell 1887 Much appreciated Elaine

Sorry forgot to add this bit and my last mail was a bit wrong.. They were spelling their name Hains on the 1841 census and lived in Queenborough.They had 2 daughters named Jane as one died in infancy. He died in 1849 so the 1851 census has her on her own. Then she dies in 1861. I think I'm losing it a bit!!! My husband thinks it's because my grandparents were 1st cousins!!! Trudi

Hi Mike. Thanks for trying to help. The 1841 census has them married and living with their daughter Jane. My cousin thinks they married in Queniborough in 1819 but has been unable to prove it to me.Also we think their first child was born in 1816 so this marriage would be a bit late!! Unless Mary Ann wasn't theirs!!! Thomas Haines was born in 1782 and Elizabeth circa 1790 Then in the 1901 census she is on her own as Elizabeth Haines. While I'm on has anyone any tips of what to do if someone changed their name by deed poll? My husbands grandfather did,from Perkins to Gardner. How do I find info etc??

Hi all Just found this going through the Leicester Villages Site, another forum for us to post Leicester Questions http://forums(.)communityportals(.)co(.)uk/index.php Elaine

Greeting's Trudi.... Really need some more details.... which census you've got them on and the location ? But in the meantime the closest I can come up with is :- Thomas Haines. ~ Elizabeth MASTING Leicester. St. Margaret's Parish Church. 16th. October. 1832. By Banns. MIKE.

Hi Everyone, I'm really stuck and I really need some tips. I have Thomas Haines brn 1782 Marrying an Elizabeth in Leicestershire. I can't find her maiden name. The census says she was brn approx 1790 in Northamptonshire. The IGI does not list her maiden name and I have the Phillamores CD for Leicestershire and it's not there?? Any Help would be appreciated and I Can search my CD If anyone wants. Trudi

Greeting's Again John .... Sorry I don't have the transcript of St. Marys for the years you require...... But it does check out on two sites I've checked and I see it was by Banns...SO....... Have got details in my little black book for a look up this Thursday at Records Office Wigston That should give us the info you want. ' Watch this space ' MIKE.

Hello Mike I found that one too and groaned cause I also found a Reuben about a month ago in Newark who is a fishmonger and wondered if they were all brothers. My George is the son of Jonas Ward (fishmonger from Newark as you will recall), coincidence..... so now I have Thomas, Jonas and Reuben and possibly George's sister marrying Reuben so staying a Ward and Reuben has also called his son George! Will I ever unravel them? Here's hoping I do Elaine PS In 1841 Reuben age 41 Thomas age 40 Jonas age 50

Greetings again Mike. If you hold BT's for marriages at Saint Mary's 1815 could you please provide witness or parential details in respect of marriage between WM TOMPKIN and SARAH CHAMBERLAIN on 02 Nov 1815. Many thanks Jon

Greeting's Again Elaine ...... Trawling through the 1841 Census on line .... Found this one :- HO 107. / 868. / Book 5. / Folder. 11. / Page. 13. Newark Upon Trent Nottinghamshire. Thomas Ward. 40. FISHMONGER. N. Mary. Wife. 35. N. GEORGE. Son. 11. Y. James. Son. 4. Sarah. Dau. 7. Y. Ann. Dau. 6. Y. Jane. Dau. 1. N. = NO. Not born within the County. Y. YES. Born within the County. Sorry forgot the birth date for your George ? So this could not be your George But it was the Fishmonger Occupation Which is interesting though. ? MIKE.xx

HI Kirstin My Strettons come from Leicester i dont think ive any from Blaby but if you want any info and i can help let me know Bev

Hello Beverley intrigued that you are looking for Strettons in Leicester. I am also looking for Strettons I know I am related to the Blaby Strettons. As you are on part 9 have I missed the boat on all that info? Thanks Kirstin

Thanks Mike No George Ward though, if I have time I am going to look through the trade directories and see if I can find him. Got him 1855 listed as fishmonger but they are not the easiest of people to unravel as now I think a sister popped back to Newark to live as well. Oh well.... Elaine
