Hi, Am trying to find information on Samuel Henry Perkins Noon born 1880 in Wolvey/Hinckley area.

Wife/mother is with her sisters family but her husband and children are unaccounted for. Husband/Father Thomas Palin(g) born 1829 and children maria 1853, william 1857, Elisabeth 1861, Willoughby 1866, Mary Ann 1867, Leah 1867 and James was born in 1871..children born in Wolvey, Burbage, and Leicester. Grateful for any help, Karen

Hope this as helped in some way .... MIKE. P.S. Sorry drew a blank with your Samuel Henry Perkins Noon........

Karen, Contact of a contact also looking for Willoughby Paling - if you would like me to put you in touch, send me your email address and I will pass it on!! Maggie

Mike, Will send email in a bit - have your addy on my main address but currently logged on with the address I now use for family history - other one was getting a bit full. Trying to download for the 3rd time a map of Leicester 1835 that Carolyn is sending me - keep getting hiccups!! Are you doing any 1841 searches round the Calais Street/Albion Hill area?? Carolyn has followed up on the info you have sent me and wonders if these folks of hers are anywhere to be seen. James and Maria Newton were on Calais St in 1832 and Albion Hill in 1851. James was a carpenter, and they should have their son, William aged about 8 with them. James was born in Somerby and Maria in Casterton, Rutland. Thanks, Maggie

Hi Mike, I guess you did'nt find anything on Frederick Harold Godrich. He was a panel beater I know he had died by 1947 I do'nt know if he married in Wales or England the address I have is 24 Brandon St. Thanks. Wendy

Greeting's Maggie..... Now you tell me ...:0(( I was doing an update om my Index for the city in 1841. and I was in Calais St about 2.30 this morning ....lol :0)) and looking out for BUTLERS... Up to now I've got a Henry aged 11 on Granby St. Thomas aged 30. a Clark on Northampton St. I'll now go back and have a deckco .... But it will only give me Name. Age. Occupation. and Yes or no as to weather born within the County...... Back soon. You have my Addie give it to Carolyn and see if I can download it as I'm on Broadband... MIKE. Dives back into 1841. If I'm not out again within a week call the dogs in !!!! lol .....:0)))

Hi Bev, Have got all your replies, my tree will need a bit of updating in the future, have not expanded to brothers and sisters so Strettons are missing if you check my tree, still struggling to find my Ggrandfather on any census except 1881 and still we go on!!! Elaine

Greeting's Again Wendy..... Sorry... But I've not found any NEW leads on your Godrich.... But having said that the Census are being updated daily .. So 6 months down the line who knows.... Sorry I couldn't help this time round.... MIKE.

Hi Mike, Thank you very much for your help. Can i also ask if it would have been normal for someone to start off life as a Frame Work Knitter and then go on to be an Ag Lab? Seems a bit of a change doesn't it...I haven't come across that before - usually my lot stayed at one job, either Ag Lab or something like fwk for life. Maggie , Have sent you my email address for your friend of a friend. Look forward to hearing from them, Karen

Karen, Got your message and will pass your address on. Mike, Glad you escaped from 1841 OK!! Thanks so much for tracking Carolyn's chaps. Thomas Butler on Northampton Street is interesting - John's father in law, Thomas Hollins was a shoemaker on the same street. Henry I don't know about - will have to store him and see if a link appears. Appreciate your time and interest. TTFN Maggie

Thanks Mike for your time and help ,never mind , as I am a direct descendant of the Stretton family I have plent to go on , with Jemima popping up. Thanks Wendy.

Greeting's Again....... Karen Ummm .... Thinking out aloud and reading between the lines... The Head of that household that Thomas was with back in 1841. Was a " Ag. Lab." The address " Heath" suggest that it could have been a Small Holding or a tied Farm ? So maybe Joseph departed this life and Thomas took over..... and got to like the life ?.... We are all looking to better ourselves....even today......? MIKE.

Hi Elaine What g grandfather are you looking for on census if you like ill have a look as well Bev

Mike, O.K I guess that's a possiblity....I wouldn't mind a little place in the country myself -but don't think its going to happen !! Karen
