GGaawwdd Mike - I'm sorry I asked now !! (Seriously - thank you for the info). I have found over 50 new people today so I am swamped. I have looked at your list but can't find a connection. Some of the people I have found are: BISHOP Nancy c 1791 Gilmorton married Samuel HALES in 1811 Her parents were Edward Bishop + Mary Loomes Siblings were: BISHOP Edward c 1794 Gilmorton BISHOP Elizabeth c 1783 Gilmorton I THINK that is all correct but I only found it today. I would be grateful for any extra info you may have. Samuel HALES +Nancy BISHOP had possible children: Alfred c 1827 John c 1814 -married Mary A children: Frances M c.1847, John A c 1844, Sarah E c 1850, William, c 1845 - all born Kenilworth. Sarah c 1816 James c 1822 married Mary - son George c1848 Samuel c 1829 William c 1812 Mary Ann c 1813 Elizabeth c 181 Edward c 1825 married Selina -daugt. Selina Eliza c 1850 Samuel Hales m. c1811 seems to have died before 1851. Thanks for any help (but please be gentle with the info) Regards, Dea

Hi Mike Thank you for looking for me really appreciate it...I have know come to tthe conclusion that all roads are leading to Ireland and Scotland...lol....lots of foot work afoot...i have found my Grants in 1891 living at 132 Wellington street and was up town yesterday and had alook think it was where the court is now as the even numbers are that side and start at the bottom...i even nipped into Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church thinking that was were they had married just to have a look around you can see where it has had wings added beautiful ceiling.... i have also found Garibaldi cottages which was on Curzon street once again thanks for the help. warm regards Donna

Greeting's Again Donna.... Like your good self I too am having trouble with I.G.I. ( Site Down ) BUT...with the use of loads of ' Wild Cards' on Ancestry site.. I think this answers your problem .... 1871. Census. RG 10 / 3281 / 10 / Page. 13. Leicester. St. Margaret's Parish. No. 32. Devonshire Street. View Record Bridget Cain abt 1831 Ireland Wife Leicester Leicestershire View Record Bridget Cain abt 1859 Staffordshire, England Daughter Leicester Leicestershire View Record * Catherin Cain abt 1866 Staffordshire, England Daughter Leicester Leicestershire View Record John Cain abt 1832 Ireland Head Leicester Leicestershire View Record Maria Cain abt 1855 Rowley, Staffordshire, England Daughter Leicester Leicestershire View Record * Sarah Cain abt 1857 Rowley, Staffordshire, England Daughter Leicester Leicestershire Having looked that those Marriages Which didn't give spouses name on any of them ....Grr I think they could well be a Civil / Non conformists Marriage services ? .... Which would mean the only way to see the full details is to order the Certificates MIKE.

Hi Mike Been trying to get on IGI batch numbers all day and cant get on there...would it be possible if you have the details to check for me...I have a John James Grant (born about 1858 in Leicester) who is lodging with his wife Sarah Grant (Sarah born 1858 Iin Rowley Staffs )and daughter Grace E Grant (8mths old born in Leicester) living at 144 Crafton street in 1881. they are lodging with John Cane (about 1832 Ireland) wife Bridget Cane (about1833 Ireland) and daughter Catherine Cane (about 1866 Rowley Staffs). Seeing as Sarah Grant and Catherine Cane are born in the same area i thought they might be sisters...and looked on free BMD for John James Grants marriage came up with Marriages September 1879 CAIN SARAH LEICESTER 7a 343 and JOHN GRANT LEICESTER 7a 343 . but no idea what church ...could you possibly help me as i dont know if it is a catholic marriage or other thanks in advance Donna

Hello again Mike, Have had a look in my notes and found that the present Methodist Church was opened c1808 on the site of a former chapel, and the Baptist Church opened c1815. You must think I have an infernal cheek asking for bapts checked in Methodist and Baptist PR's, but the info was supplied by a cousin, since deceased, and I have no way of knowing which PR's he checked to get the info in the first place. Also, it took me 25 yrs to find my maternal 5xGGM, and I don't think I have another 25yrs left !! before I pass the baton to my daughters Best Regards, Ralph

Hi Mike, Thats very kind of you, and much appreciated, while there do you think you could have a quick look in the Kegworth records , Methodist and Baptist, for these baptisms,all Pyms Thomas 13-10-1822 Catharine 30-3-1825 Susan 12-8-1827 Eliza 26-12-1830 Phillip 14-4-1833 Father will be Thomas Pym, mother not known, remember the saga, I checked Kegworth and Diseworth on the IGI and they weren't baptised there, I think the Methodists were active in Kegworth at this time, not sure when chapel built tho' Regards, Ralph

Greeting's Again Ralph... Sorry no George in Barrow 1841. Census.... Found these Burials which could be Thomas & Mary :- BARROW ON SOAR WHYMAN MARY 10 DEC 1854 59 WIFE OF THOMAS BARROW ON SOAR WHYMAN THOMAS 20 JAN 1875 85 Would it help if I had a look at Lockington Parish Records At Wigston Records Office sometime this week.. It might just give details of George either in Mary's Christening or his Marriage....? MIKE.

Hello again Mike, The marriages are correct, the burial could well be Hannah (Pym), as I don't know where husband George Parker was born, a daughter Mary Parker was baptised at Lockington on 11 Dec 1820, Hannah may have died in childbirth. The Barrow connection is Thomas Whyman who married Catharine Pym, Elaine supplied data for a Thomas and Mary Whyman of Barrow, (if I've got the right Thomas), another Thomas Whyman was baptised at All Saints, Loughborough on 15-7-1783, I'm not positive on which one Catherine married. Regards, Ralph

Greeting's Again Ralph.... Sorry drew a blank for George & Hannah Parker in Lockington & Hemington 1841. Census. Altough there was several pages missing ........ So now I'll see if they are in Barrow in 1841...... I found a burial for Lockington Parish Church:- Hannah Parker. 11th. June. 1820. Aged. 25. Abode Ticknall Derby. So a second Marriage could well be the answer..... Marriages found :- Thomas Parker. ~ Hannah PYM. Lockington. 1816. By Banns. Also. Thomas Whyman. ~ Catherine PYM. Lockington. 1816. By Banns. MIKE.

Hi Elaine, Thanks very much for info, it looks as if Catherine didn't live very long, and Thomas remarried. Lets hope something comes up on the 1841. Regards, Ralph

Hi Ralph Here's a little bit for you 1851 Census 21 South Street, Barrow Ref H0107/2087 Ann Harris abt 1836 Age 15 U Lodger Occupation Seamstress Barrow upon Soar Leicestershire Sidney Ward abt 1834 Age 17 U Occupation Apprentice Blacksmith Born Barrow upon Soar Leicestershire Mary Whyman abt 1794 Wife Mar Age 57 Born Barrow upon Soar Leicestershire Thomas Whyman abt 1793 Head Mar Age 58 Occupation Blacksmith Born Barrow upon Soar Leicestershire Can't find a match for your Parkers though Elaine

Hello Mike, I wonder if I might impose on your goodself once again? I'm looking for the following families on the 1841 and 1851 census George Parker c1785 Lockington Hannah Parker c 1789 Lockington John Parker c1816 Lockington Stephen Parker c1818 Lockington Mary Parker c1820 Lockington May still be in Lockington area Thomas Whyman c1793 Catharine Whyman c1797 Lockington May be in Barrow upon Soar or Loughborough Many thanks, Ralph

Hi Mike Thanks a million times as usual. Had a bit of luck though, a few weeks ago I put a search in for Nailstone and was put in touch with a chap who traces people and the history of Nailstone. I sent him some info looking at Kendrick's mainly and mentioned the Twigg's because they both came from Nailstone and by an amazing coincidence he is a Moore descendant. One of the marriage witnesses I gave him matches a Moore marriage and we are pretty they are the same family. There is a Thomas and Elizabeth that would be my George's brother as you just mentioned, my contact can't find the father George in 1841 either! In 1851 he is in Nailstone just to confuse me. Elaine

Greeting's Again Elaine .... Sorry drew a blank with 1841. Census for Barton - on - the Beans or earlier name of Barton Fabis Also checked out Nailstone as it directed you to that village from Barton Census returns as it was so close Only one Moore Family found there:- Thomas Moore 35. Ag.Lab. Elizabeth Wife. 40. Elizabeth Dau. 11. Mary. Dau. 9. Thomas. Son. 7. William. Son. 4. Joseph. Son. 1. ALL Born within the County. Sorry I didn't hit the nail on the head for you this time ..... MIKE.

' Your Very Welcome ....Little Lil ' If I can help any more just ask on here.. I'm not to sure there maybe access to the ruins from Jubilee Park Picnic Area on the Enderby Road To wards Whetstone MIKE.

Hi Mike Many thanks for the confirmation. I have all the info, just wanted to see if for myself. When I go to Wigston next week I think I will look at Enderby first and then Lubbesthorpe as it becomes Enderby on the other side of the roundabout. Its quite eerie really. David was born 20 years before my grandpas birth in St Margarets but my grandpa started his business (grocery shops) just a stones throw from where David was born, although my grandpa was only 12 when his brother died. Again many thanks Little Lil

Greeting's & Welcome Little Lil... 10 / 10.....Go to the top of the Class...lol :0) St. John's is on your left hand side going out of Town From the Police Headquarters up to The Fox Hunter Round about. It gets it's Name from the site of the old St. John Aldeby Church The ruins lies in the fields behind the Garden Centre and the river Soar Not too sure if it came under the Parish of Lubbesthorpe or Enderby Both would be in the registration District of Blaby though. 1837 ~ 51.= XV. 1852. ~ 1930. = 7 A. Hope this helps you..... MIKE.
