Greeting's Again John.... Sorry NO Thomas & Ann (In any spelling ) in the City found.... One in the County though :- Thomas Thomas Tompkin. ~ Ann Stevens. Grimston ( NNW of Melton Mowbray ) 1834. By Banns. MIKE.

Mike Hello again - have put the transcribing on hold for a day - need to sort out some TOMKINS problems. I have a Joseph b1837, James b1839, Sarah Ann b1842 and Matilda b1845 all born to Thomas and Ann, my problem is, the only marriage details I can find for them was in 1851, is it possible that Thomas was previously married to a different Ann?. the 1851 marriage was to Ann RENNIE. Regards Jon ex Leicester

Greeting's Again Jayne..... ' Your very Welcome '.... If I can help you further then please post on this thread and we'll see what developes...... MIKE.

BIG BIG THANK YOU MIKE, you've knocked a few bricks out of my wall. Just have to peep through and hope i can see some light. Once again thanks , Jayne

Mike, Many thanks for taking time out to look, The John holmes from newbold, has the wrong father, but is the only one I could find as well. Fanny, dont know if Mary Ann is her mother, but know her father is John Robinson, The henry robinson from whitwick Had a daughter called Fanny, but isnt 'My Fanny'(That one married a Wardle) Not a Holmes. And Yes you're quite correct the family DID move to Annesley, I do have details from '71-1901 census for these. Do you have any other Ideas as to how I can trace John And Fanny???? I just seem to be going around in circles, and getting VERY dispondant indeed, Have death certs, and Marriage cert, even first borns birth cert, but still dont know where to go from here with this brick wall. any Ideas gratefully recieved many thanks Julie

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply, no wonder Beverly and I couldn't find the shop as we were looking for THE BOOK SHOP. The next time i'm in Leicester i'll know where to go. Thanks so much . Wendy

hiya there, I'm fairly new to this and am having problems locating, my ggparents, I wondered if someone could please help me?? John Holmes b. 1846, in either Newbold, Lount, leicester Married Fanny Robinson b. 1847 Melton Mowbray, Rutland, Leicester they married in 1867 @ Whitwick parish church 30/04/1867 All places of birth come from '71-1901 census, Johns fathers name is given as Thomas Holmes. Fannys Father is given as John Robinson. I cannot find any records of john and fanny living in whitwick area prior to marriage, they were living in church lane swannington, sept 1867. Cannot find a birth record for Fanny, (I have a b.cert but it doesnt give fathers name, and mothers maiden name is given as robinson, so am a bit dubious as to whether this is the cert i actually want) The b.cert I have for John Holmes born Newbold 1846 fathers name stated as edward, (not thomas as on marriage) am at a loss where to look now as he is only one listed as being born in newbold, in 1846, have trawled through 1837, but no luck am really sorry to waffle on but need to get down all info so not to waste anyones time looking for stuff i already got. please be patient with me, if anyone could help me find my ggparents it would be really fannylastic :) your hoping Julie

Greeting's Again Sarah...... ' Your very Welcome ' That was another wheelbarrow going over the border...lol :0) Squeek....Squeek...... MIKE.

Greeting's & Welcome Deberah.... Have you any more details like ages, Christian names and possible locations ? also what Census you are interested in MIKE.

Greeting's And Welcome Jayne..... I can confirm that marriage of:- Isaac Hubbard. ~ Caroline Pymms. Prestwold 1836. By Banns. But then no sign of them on the 1841. Census for any of the Villages around Prestwold...... I've a Isaac Hubbard on the 1851. Census (Index only ) aged 54. Living on his own in the Village of Hoton. (next Village to Prestwold) But no sign of either Caroline or Charles... There's a Charles Hubbard Lodging with a Family in Loughborough on the 1861. Census aged 18.(1843) states he was born in Rearsby (same Registration area as your details) I wonder if Isaac married again ? Also on the 1861. Census Hoton. Isaac Hubbard. 74. Ag Lab. b. Thrusington Elizabeth Wife. 78. b. Seagrave. I've a Burial (1864) Isaac Hubbard aged 77. in Hoton. Also a Elizabeth Hubbard (1886) aged 86. in Hoton. The same Charles Hubbard comes up again on the 1871. Census (aged 29) with a large and extended Family living in Burton-Upon-Trent. Not sure if I've got it right for you if not then We've eliminated these above...... MIKE.

Thank you anyway Mike Alice
