Mike, Just a quickie as about to cook belated Xmas lunch for Mother - how can I thank you??????? You just gave me my great great great grandmother Jane Hollins - I had a hunch - based on the marriage you found, and the fact that Thomas Hollins was in the same trade as Henry Butler, but us virgo females do like to have proof. Are you a star or what!!!! This evening supposed to be devoted to all things Charnwood, but am sure I will not be able to resist a dabble in the Butlers!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! TTFN Maggie

Greeting's Again Maggie..... Thank you I'm only trying to live life to our " PROMISE "..... You want information on the Marriage of :- Jane Butler ~ Thomas Snaith ?.... There you go......... St. Margaret's Church..... Entry No. 91, MAY 28, 1839, after Banns THOMAS SNAITH, full age, bach. TURNER, of BELGRAVE GATE, s. of THOMAS SNAITH, SUPERVISOR JANE BUTLER, full age, wid. DRUGGIST, of BELGRAVE GATE, d. of THOMAS HOLLINGS, SHOE MAKER Wits: EDMOND BROWETT, JOHN STRINGER. Have a good New Year... Don't forget to pop your head round the corner of the Scout Shop this Thursday...... MIKE. P.S. Wharf Street comes under St. Margaret's Parish...

Those BUTLERs again!! The info about Thomas Henry is flowing fast and furious - but would so like to be able to prove the link between him and John - a birth for John c. 1799/1800, probably in St Martins (or maybe All Saints??) would be the perfect New Year Gift!! Ideally John's parents would be Henry and Elizabeth (Fielding??) Butler!! A birth record for Edward Henry Butler in 1831 - maybe St Margaret's, or the Wharf Street area - whatever parish that is, would be handy to find out if Jane was his mother - and if so, which Jane (could be Hollins??). The marriage of Jane Butler in 1839 turned out to be to Thomas Snaith in St Margaret's which strengthens the idea that John was dead by that time. All this from following the line of a possible cousin back 70 years, and the help of so many wonderful people - especially MIKE FROM LEICESTER - big THANK YOU!! Maggie

Greeting's Again Elaine... Just had a quick whizz through my St. Margaret's Marriages and nothing came up with names /dates given..:0( Educated guest on name = HUNT ? Can you scan the cert and send it to me via e-mail ? to do that we need to exchange e-mail addresses through here 1st. ? MIKE.

Hello Mike, Have asked for your help previously with Wards and Warrens in Leicester. Am stuck on a surname I can't read and need help as have not had this problem yet and wondered if you are able to look 'something' up to help. I have a birth cert for good old Albert Victor Ward as you may remember from previous but cannot read his mothers maiden name I cannot find them on St Margs reg. on the web site and wondered maybe if you had other marriage records. Am looking for a William Ward c1846 marrying a Mary Ann c1847 with a surname beginning with H and ending in T, their first child was born 1865. In 1872 they were living in Harcourt Street and I hope this info helps somewhat. When you helped previous the other Mary Ann was indeed a Powell and have put quite a bit of info together from then, can't thank you enough. Elaine

Thank you Mike much appreciated Beverly

Greeting's & Welcome back Peter. From my INDEX Census returns for 1851. Vol. 9. index No. 808. (only gives Names & Ages. ) I can confirm your Names and Ages given are correct BUT...

Hello Mike I would appreciate it if you could do a lookup 1841 / 1851 census for the family of William Thornley, wife Frances or Fanny. I would like to know the address and also occupation of William In 1851, the details are Whitwick Sub-district of Ashby/Zouch 2084 Folio No 808 THORNLEY William 39 Fanny 36 Mary 15 Ellen 13 Daniel 5 Elizabeth 1 Thanks, Peter

Greeting's and Welcome Janet..... I'm sorry but due to the modern dates given.. I did a quick whizz round my disks but drew a blank. So I'm unable to help you this time round.... Perhaps you you would get a result if you were to put your enquiry on the " Trying to Find " Board within this site. Some of the helpers there have " Electoral Rolls" for up to date years.... Just a had a look in the latest Phone directory for Leicestershire and there is only TWO " Mallen's " listed... So please don't give up... I wish you luck in your research and if you require any more help please do get back to us here..... MIKE.

Mike, Thanks SO much for that!! Feel sure that some of those Butlers are mine - certainly the ones with Draycott as a middle name are in with a chance as from the IGI I think Mary Ann Butler was born Draycott. Will have to have a good look at all my stuff as and when Charnwood allows!! I think this was John's widow and children in 1851: 217 142 11 41 56 BELGRAVE GATE THOMAS SNAITH HEAD M 39 M DRUGGIST & HABERDASHER LEI LEICESTER 2089 218 142 11 41 56 BELGRAVE GATE JANE SNAITH WIFE M 53 F LEI LEICESTER 2089 219 142 11 41 56 BELGRAVE GATE E.H.

Think this is Thomas Henry and his family in Syston in 1851: folio 555 schedule 103, Chapel lane Thomas Henry BUTLER Head mar aged 38 Schoolmaster & Deputy Regr brn Leicester, St Martins's Mary Ann Butler wife aged 32 Dressmaker brn Syston Christiana Butler dau aged 5 brn Syston Sarah Jane Butler dau aged 3 brn Syston John Henry Butler son aged 6mnth brn Syston also Sarah Brewin serv aged 13 !! Housekeeper brn Hoby Really appreciate the info you have given me - it will give me a few starting points for further research. Regards, Maggie P.S. Did you say you do Thurs evenings at the Scout Shop?? Think we are at Blaby this Thursday for first Charnwood 2006 Team Managers meeting!!

I don't hold out much hope but here goes; I am looking for any children of Derrick Russell MALLEN and his wife Louise formerly CERA nee TOCQUEVILLE. They married in 1947 in Blaby. Louise's Father is given as Elphege Joseph Tocqueville and my GGrandfather was Elphege Auguste Tocqueville. I believe they are related as Elphege is listed as one of the rarest 1st names in France (There are only some 240 ish Tocqueville's in the french phonebook inc. businesses)

Mike, Happy New Year, thanks for helping me in the past with my Ringrose's you went out of your way to give me information. Sue................
