Thanks Mike for your fantastic work, the information you have given me, adds a real interest to the family tree. Best Wishes Dennis

PS Bev I haven't worked too far backwards with this lot yet so the stuff you mentioned is all new but looks like I 've found my weekend job. If you want a copy of this marriage let me know and I will send you it when I find the ref I need to order the certificate. If it's not on FreeBmd you might have a bit of a wait though till I get into town. Elaine

Hi long lost sort of 'cousin' BEV Their daughter Annie Elizabeth Hunt, my great grandmother marries a Moore so let me know what you find with your Moore's. Don't know who Emma Moore the witness is yet. ALSO I have found a GREEN in Foundry Lane who marries a Ward who I am sure has some of my Ward descendants living with him, the parents are not around and the rest of the older children are living together. It's a Ward that marries a Warren which takes us back to our boatman!!! (Ward daughter then marries a Moore) Elaine

Hi Paula I didnt know there were any catholics in my family at all till i started going further back and they all seem to originate from Ireland and Scotland and are catholics...one was even a nun...but didnt know for certain until about a week ago. Do you know if the church is still there, if it is i might go and take some photos of it . regards Donna

Donna> Do you know that Sacred Heart church on Mere Road is a Catholic church. i used to go Irish dancing at the sacred heart club when i was a kid

Hi, I believe that my Mum is a descendant of Timothy c1791 & Ann Moore c1801 both born in Gilmorton Leicestershire. i have been lucky in that two people on the site have them in there trees, however only one of them says that he had a son named Joseph c1821 also born in Gilmorton he later married a kitty C Kettle i have asked this person where he got the information on Joseph, but he has not replied. Someone kindly looked on the 1841 census but he was not with the family HO 107/598/04 page 27 Are you able to find out the parents of Joseph ? I would be very grateful if you could.
