Thanks Mike, Most of my Powells are in Foundry Lane and Martha is their sister looking back to the 1861 census you looked up for me and no parents were around then, so have lots of links and ends to tie up. Is the St. margs reg on disc? feel I should have my own copy!!! Elaine

Elaine If you go to stmargs.html it will give you some marriage records. When on site just scroll down for initial Bev

Mike I haven't been looking on these threads for a bit - and since then I succumbed to the Leicester Project CD from L&RFHS. Last August, you were kind enough to set me on track with my North Kilworth BENNETTs: From a scanned image of 1841. Census return. HO107/589/06/Page 1. North Kilworth. Lutterworth Road. Amongst the family was "* Ada ? Freda ?Dau.4" where "* not able to read the name clearly" Is it possible to read "Rhoda" into that image? That would tie in with a Baptism (per the CD database) 29 Aug 1837 for a daughter of George Bennett and Margaret/Martha. The CD says "Margaret", but it also says that for Edwin's baptism 7 Jun 1835, which you reckoned was Martha. Thanks Christine

Hi Bev and thanks, Now wondering what Mike uses as a ref. for all these rels on St. Margs reg. As we have crossed a couple of times, just wondered if you have any connection with the surname Powell Elaine

Greeting's Elaine & Beverley.... I have the FULL TRANSCRIPTIONS of those Wedding's from that site. On Disk...... So It's so quick for me to do the look up so keep um coming ......lol :0)))) MIKE.

Thanks mike Thought I asked a bit too much, have'nt found anymore just yet though!!! Elaine

Greeting's again Philippa....... Not sure if I was meant to be looking in the CITY or County For James & Bertha.... Theses are the only ones coming up both in the 1881 & 1891:- 1891.

And, pretty please, Mike I know the 1841 census doesn't give detailed "where born" info, but I believe it often states "in County" or "out of county". I haven't traced George & Martha's marriage, so I was wondering whether she might have been born over the order in Northants or Warks - in which case the wedding might have been in her parish, not his. Could I have the where-born info for that census report, please? thanks Christine

Greeting's Again Christine.... I’ve Re checked that Scanned Image again for your Bennett's :- 1841. Scanned Census Image. HO 107 / 598 / 06 / Page 1. North Kilworth. Lutterworth Road. George Bennett.35. Ditto. Ag Lab. Y. MARTHA. 35. Y. Jane. 11. N. James.10. N. William.10. N. Edwin. 6. Y. Freda / Roda ? 4. George. 1. Y. Y. = YES Born within the County. N. = NO Not born within the County. ****************************** Defiantly “ MARTHA “ Not the name Margaret and not enough letters. No G so no downward stroke for the tail of the G. It could be made out to be “ RODA “ without the H. Suggest you click on my name and send me a “ PM “ including your E-mail address. So I can send you a copy of the scan……. You’ll see how difficult it is with “Ye Oldie English “ writing The Transcriber for that disk could have miss read or miss typed the Mother’s name. ????? MIKE.

Hi Elaine No up to now ive not got any powells in my tree Bev

Hello Mike, Thankyou for all the info, i am very gratefull, will phone mum in morning and see what fits. I was born in Leicester myself, but moved up north when i was 3 yrs old, brothers went to school down there, never no you may know them. I will be back and again thankyou. Philippa.

Thanks very much, Mike, I shall contact you directly. Copper plate script does add to the challenge of reading handwriting, I know. I imagine in a big task like this there will be some errors - I think the disk is very new, so the database will probably need fine-tuning as people actually use it. Christine

nudge as we were geting a bit further down Elaine
