Hi Elaine Thanks ever so much, the twist was just what i needed to. Can i be cheeky and ask you if you know how to find a certain building, i know its not a person but you may know, i have ancestors christened at George Street Primitive Methodiat Church they originally come from Enderby where there is a George Street but also moved to Watling Street next to Abbey Park and up the road there is a George Street so i dont know if they have nipped up the road or travelled back to Enderby, i have tried looking myself but come up with nothing thanks again warm regards Donna

But Can't think of a Church / Chapel on George Street Enderby it's only houses .....(Well it was last week)...... MIKE.

Hi Mike Just found a couple of my Wright children which means the 1841 Wrights you found are the (W)right ones as Emily S. is there and have found my Mary Elizabeth and Emily together using IGI batch no Elaine

Hi again Elaine and hello Mike Last time i will be on here today but will be back tomorrow got to go to work...by the way Elaine i work with an Angela Wright any relation, she is from Thurmastn...The date which i was looking for the chapel would be 1830s but thanks for looking i think it is going to be the George Street off of belgrave gate or is it Melton road oh well thanks for all your help ...i cant believe how kind you have been warm regards Donna

Greeting's Again Elaine..... Well done ....... ( nice when it comes together ain't it M'Duck ? ) ...lol :0) I thought our days were numbered via messages on the Topic board yesterday.......Gulp..... Donna ........ If we can help further then post some names and years you want and we'll see what comes up....... MIKE.

Hi Elaine and Mike Well where do i begin...lol...in my tree the names are Gamble (originally from Enderby)I have gone back to 1788 but now am stuck....Barnacle Which you so kindly helped me with yesterday...Hall which i am stuck on they are from Leicester In 1901 census Thomas Hall born about 1863 as age is given as 38 married to a Elizabeth A fron Stoney Stanton whose age is also 38....and have 4 boys Thomas R being my direct descendant born 1888 but then in 1891 census Thomas Hall and Elizabeth are 25 so would be born around 1866 (also Elizabeth is called Annie Elizabeth) So when i look at earlier census there are a few Thomas Hall in between those dates ...the next lot are called Daft and have got back to around 1756 to a marriage of Samuel Daft and Sarah Wilmore which was that date but cannot find birth of Samuel....well thats my dads side of the family ....mums is more difficult they are from Scotland and Ireland but i have managed to do some of it even though it can be hard work..any help would be appreciated but i feel cheeky asking....lol...even though ive typed this all out...warm regards Donna

Hi donna Am actually off out soon, what about giving us the 1901 bit you have and we could work back with you to have a look at Thomas etc It will be good practice for me LOL Elaine

Hi Elaine Hope your going somewhere nice...1901 census i have ... Thomas Hall Head MARRIED 38 foreman shoepressman Leicester Elizabeth A wife married 38 Stoney Stanton Leicester Thomas R unmarried son 13 shoe finisher Leicester Joseph unmarried son Leicester William unmarried son Leicester Sidney unmarried son Leicester lived 1 Model Cottages Dorothy Road Evington Leicester 1891 census...

Ellen is in union workhouse in 1881 but under the name of Bright and she is from Whitechapel in London....i wondered if the marriage would give me the fathers name as i have found a John Brett as her father if the spelling is Brett .Hope you can understand my yammering ...thanks Donna

Greeting's Again Donna...... There you go for the marriage of Ellen...... St. Margaret's Parish Church :- Entry No.16, JUL 12, 1885, after Banns JAMES DAFT, 25, bach. SHOE RIVETTER, of 5, D CT., SANVEY GATE, s. of THOMAS DAFT, FWK ELLEN BREIT, 21, sp. of 7, C CT., SANVEY GATE, d. of AUGUSTUS BREIT, SHOE FINISHER Wits: GEORGE DAFT, EMMA CORT. Have you had a look at the following Census return for 1881. ? RG 11 / 3165./ 70. / Page. 18. No. 46. Benford Street. Look at the Dau. “ Emma Draft. Aged 18.” Could this be the “ Emma Cort” witness for James & Ellen Marriage ? Also this could be George Daft in 1881.? RG 11 / 3165. / 49. / Page. 7. 69, Wharf Street. Could this be James’s fathers Marriage ? St. Margaret’s Parish Church. Entry No.378, APR 9, 1849, after Banns THOMAS DAFT, full age, bach. FWK, of BENFORD St, s. of THOMAS DAFT, FWK HANNAH HYDE, full age, sp. of BENFORD St, d. of JOHN HYDE, PENSIONER Wits: JESSE NORTON, MARY RATCLIFFE. Ellen Breit is proving a bit more difficult to suss out…… But I’ll have a look latter on when I too return. MIKE. MIKE.

Hi Donna In 1881 have found this Richard Grice Head age 44 gen labourer born Upton Ann Grice Wife age 47 born Stoney Stanton at the same address as 1891, although it states it's 61 Hill Bower in brackets, wot's going on with the ages? Elaine

Hi Mike Lol my theory flew out the window then....thank youi had details of James father and mother and the year of marriage but you have given me more....i think James brother and sister are his witnesses....and as for Ellen Breit do you think she could be using her middle name as in one of the census on James has him as Henry James instead of James Henry....but alas i have no middle name for her...if she has got one ...once again Mike thank you very much really appreciate it . warm regards Donna

Hi Elaine Hope you had a nice meal....and thanks for the info on Richard Grice there are lots of age discrepancies on my lot....lol...you do like a challenge dont you....lol warm regarde Donna

Hi Elaine and Bev I have written those ones down ....and need to investigate further....thanks for looking...you either get to many names for one or none at all....lol...have to go through my notes again as i seem to have stuff i dont need mixed in ...needs a good sort out...just found Thomas Hall circa 1842 marriage to a Sarah Anthill 15th dec 1861 St Georges wonder if thats the one you got Elaine in Syston Street. Ihave one more to find if possibe Edward Gamble born about 1788 in Enderby married an Elizabeth Goode born circa 1792 Little Glen in Aylestone 24th October 1814 could they possibly be in an earlier census as cant find them in the ones i have access to dont know if they are still in Enderby where the children were born or moved into Leicester with Job Gamble there son...talk soon got to tidy up and start sorting . warm Regards Donna
