Hi Mike, I would like to thank you for giving the information to find my grandfathers birth, i was looking for William Timson and it was Henry Timson, i have now got is b/cert. I would like to know why on his marr/cert it says William Henry. Well Mike could i be a pain and ask you if you could find any thing about my grtgrfathers marriage, i think he was married in Leicester in 1876/77 and he married Sarah Jarvis who came from Thurnby and this might be importent, his name was William Timson LOL! I would like to know where they were married if possible. Cheers Linda

Greeting's Again Linda...... You can call yourself which name you like BUT.... You must sign any Legal document with your birth name .. That is if you have not changed it by deed pole. It may have been that when he was giving his details to the Vicar prior to the marriage he told them he was christened Henry but now use William or it was usual that the Vicar didn't make out the certificates so a miss translation by the Parish Clark took place..... Climbs down from soap box...... They Didn't marry at St Margaret's Church as it didn't show on my records......1813.~1897. :0(( So went onto 1837 site ... There is a marriage of a Sarah Ann Jarvis :- Oct-Nov-Dec Qrt. 1876. Leicester. cert No. 7 a. 481. But couldn't match it up to either a Henry or William :0(( Here are the Timson Marriages :- Oct-Nov-Dec Qrt. 1876. Henry Timson Leicester. Cert No. 7 a. 510. Same Qrt. Henry Timson. Leicester.

Hello Mike, Could you possibly do a look up for me,my gg grandfather Thomas Wildes does not want to be found!! I believe he was born in Hathern circa 1837 but I have a very strong feeling he was really a Wilde nor Wildes family rumour he changed it to avoid being traced for bigamy! So I have problems in tracing his parents. Can you help?Brenda

Hi Mike, You are a remarkable person, you give your time and effort freely to anyone who ask you. Thank you for trying to find my rellies. Cheers Linda

Greeting's One and All..... Just to wish you all ..... ' A HAPPY EASTER ' MIKE. P.S. Anyone knows who makes ' Prozac Easter Eggs ? ' ....lol :0))

Hi Mike and the same to you. Am working on the recipe as we speak! Elaine

Hello Mike, Thank you so much for looking up gg grandather Thomas Wildes for me,and for the results. I am 99% sure you have found his parents. My problem is- 1841 Census Edward Wildes is 30 so born c 1811 1861 Census Edward is 57 so in 20 years he aged 27 years born c 1804. The Edward Wild(different spelling) who died 1869 aged 66 would have been born c1804,so possibly the 1841 census got his age wrong. I am hoping to get back to 1600's as a John Wildes from America wrote to the family trying trace a John Wildes who in the 1600's married a Sarah who was later hung as a witch at the Salem Witch trials in Salem USA. I have adopted her until I find out the connection! Thanks again. Brenda

Greeting's Brenda...... Yes !!! The ages were a Minefield in 1841.!!! .... The enumerator's were under instructions to round DOWN to the nearest multiple of 5 for those over 15. But some of the enumerator's kept to the true age..... Plus they would right down what THEY thought they heard, and spelt names how THEY thought it was spelt. without asking and there again people in those times could not read & write to well ... Hence the Minefield on all fronts .... So I would GO with what you have for the time being .... But if I can help you further please get back to me... MIKE.

Mike If your have index for 1861 LEICESTER CITY Census, could I please have details for all JOSEPH TOMKINS and variants. Many thanks Jon

Hi Mike Looking for help with a parish record if I may, am looking for the marriage of Charles Hurst born 1789 in Wigston Magna father's name John Hurst and mother's name may be Ann Wright. Charles married a Lucy Ann ??? born in Stowmarket 1791. We and my American buddy are trying to find her maiden name. Also may I pick your brains about the workhouse. She died in the Leicester workhouse and would there be any records with the possibility of finding her maiden name. He believes her first son William Hurst was christened 11 Jun 1810 in Wigston, I have not dug in to the Hurst's much yet. Am injecting Prozac into a big egg for you (used to be a nurse so have connections!!!) Elaine
