Hello... anyone still following this? Hannah Pym is my Great Great Great grandmother... Please email me at [email protected]

Greeting's Again Donna ... Farnham Street.... Ran from Humberstone Road to Charnwood Street. That marriage was not at St. Margret's Church. Just checked but drew a blank ..... Marry Cassidy ..... What years are we talking about Re Work houses and which one several until Hillcrest was built 1890 ish Can I help ( I'm a lot cheaper ...lol ) MIKE.

Hi Donna, heres the ref for you........................... Marriages Jun 1886 ----------------------------- BROWN Elizabeth Ann Leicester 7a 416 Hall Thomas Leicester 7a 416

Hi Mike, Do you know anything about the Leicester Workhouse records? I have a couple of rellies who ended up there, and I e-mailed the Records Office to see if they could scan the records and send them, but they just sent me a form offering to do research at so much an hour. I think it might be more interesting to do the research myself in that case, next time I'm in the UK, probably this summer. Is it difficult to find your way around those kinds of records?

Hi All Just had another look at the street and it looks more like Farnham street number 41 sorry thought i would tell you so you dont waste your time thanks again Donna

Hi all Hope everyone is ok...i think i asked a while back for a marriage check on a Thomas Hall and Elizabeth Ann/Annie Grice and you couldnt find one i have received the birth cert for their son Thomas Richard Hall..and the mothers name is Annie Hall formely Brown so could someone please look for a marriage between Thomas Hall and either Elizabeth Ann/Annie Brown or a Annie Elizabeth Brown for me will be greatly appreciated, I came to the Grice name from a census which has them living with a Richard Grice and under Thomas Hall it said son in law...think it was 1891 census but going back you see Richard Grice with Wife and his neighbours are the Browns. Oops Thomas Richard Hall was born 18th march 1888 so marriage should be slightly earlier.Also has anyone heard of Farmland Street (looks like this spelling ) as that is where Thomas Richard was born thanks once again Donna

Hi Mike I managed to trace Marks son Mark Reeve to Ibstock and also I think I found where in the family the burial ones come. You've been a great help :) Thanks again :) Loz

Thanks for the info Mike :) Hopefully they might be ones that stayed in Leicester. It seems some of them were miners and travelled quite a bit. Thanks again.:)

Greeting's again Loz.... I had a quick whiz around All saints Parish including Perry's Yard But No sign of them But as you said due to the other places of birth it's not likely they were in Leicester Seeing the birth dates are 1828. then there Will not be a record of birth but there will be ONLY a Christening within the Parish registers which again it's trawl through records at the Records Office Wigston.... But I'll have a look at what I can come up with in the meantime ..... MIKE.

Thank you Mike thats brilliant :) but if you think the 1841 would take too long don't worry about it too much..It's possible that they might not have been Leicester given the varying places of Birth..The research I'm doing is trying to come forward rather than go back to hopefully clear up a family mystery. I am looking for a William Peacock born 1828 in Leicester his father Is a Christopher so I'm hoping this is the one. Thanks again Loz :)

Hello Mike, I see you are as busy as ever!! regards, Ralph

Hi Loz need a surname for them to have a look Elaine

Hi there :) Could I ask a favour for anyone who gets a chance to look at the 1851 census for the city and perhaps the 1841 On the 1851 index for the city I have Christopher Peacock head age 46 Ann wife age 45 Christopher son age 16 Mark son age 6 Thomas son age 18 I would like to know where they born if possible also if you could find the family on the 1841 with any other siblings this would be a great help.
