Hi Mike/Bev That helps because I wasn't sure if that was her and that was the only match I could find for her. Silly I know but I just expected them to be together -just a feeling. Mary and Thomas are the ones who go off to America and come back again so I loose track of them 1891 as well but their daughter comes back American British citizen. Thanks for looking everyone All good fun Elaine

Hi Elaine have you found her on 1871 and where was she born in Leicester itself or outskirts Bev

Hi all Was wondering if you could have more success than me, have a marriage cert for Mary Elizabeth Wright who marries Thomas Moore 1870. On it her father William Wright is a gamekeeper. Think I may be missing something, she is 21 then and so far I have not found her 1861. Wondered if some kind soul would have more luck in finding her and the family in 1961 , she is down as living in Clara Street when she marries. Not had a gamekeeper in the family before !!! Elaine

Hi June I cant find them either but will keep looking maybe Mike can have better luck Bev

Hi Mike Knew you would know !!! Elaine

Thanks Jane Elaine

Hi Elaine, i think Thurmaston would come under Barrow, Syston definatley does & thats only the next village......... also Whitwick comes under Ashby de la Zouch, Leics, Jane

PS Would Whitwick appear under a certain area of Leicester when registering a birth ??? THIS SIDE DON'T SEEM TO KNOW FOUNDRY LANE MIKE LOL Elaine

Bev/Mike Have a Mary Elizabeth Wright who marries a a Thomas Moore (have swopped to my grandad's side for a bit as I was getting nowhere!!!) She is born c 1849 in Thurmaston, have found a birth on Freebmd Dec 1848 for Barrow and am not assuming this is right but would Thurmaston be registered in this area or simply Leicester ??? Elaine

Bev & Mike, a big thanks to you both for sorting this out for me. Have found the marriage of William to Matilda in 1818 St Marys Nottingham and a christening for a William in 1799, but no father listed. Regards JoJo. PS. Have put the spade away for the time being.

Hi Jo Jo Just found another Mary Birth 1823 St Marys Nottingham daughter Of William And Matilda Hart Bev

Thanks for that Bev, but If Mary was born in Leicester, then why on the 1861 and 1871 census does she state that she comes from Nottingham in one and Surrey in the other. As I said in previous postings I have her marriage cert and death cert so hope that the name is correct (unless she changed it!!) I think this is one I will not get to the bottom of, unless the occupation of her father on the marriage certificate is incorrect. Thanks for your help. Will be back soon. Perhaps the spade suggestion is the only answer! JoJo

Shouldn't this be called the 'Mike from Leicester' thread ?? LOL

Hi On IGI its got Mary Birth 1827 Leicester daughter of William and Matilda Hart Bev

' Your very Welcome Jo Jo ' The search site is down for the moment but the search will continue.... I'm starting in Surrey then Nottingham Mary might have been farmed out to a relative in Nottingham at an early age so Mary would think that is where she was born? MIKE.

Thanks Mike, that’s just brilliant. Does it give any indication of where she might have been born? I will have a general trawl to see if I can find any christenings that match. Thanks again for your help and pointing me in the right direction. I have put the spade away for the time being. Regards JoJo
