This is an extract from a site found via goggle cut & paste "Woolen hosiery makers." into goggle and click the uk chose the link to genuki nott's Trade & manufactures MIKE. Woollen Cloth Manufacture The manufacture of woolen cloth was the first manufacture of any importance prosecuted in the borough. It flourished as early as the twelfth century. Among the later improvements in Nottingham manufactures is the making of cloth, Indian shawls, and fancy goods, from the lace machine, for which a firm in Nottingham obtained the Council Medal a the Great Exhibition. More recently, cloth of a superior nature has been manufactured from the round hose frame. Besides being equal to ordinary cloth in the firmness of the fabric, it is considerably superior in elasticity.

Thanks again Mike, I was just putting the information down when the images popped up. Mike do you have any information on where I can obtain information on woolen hosiery makers as a lot of my rellies seemed to have worked in those factories, I would like to find out what it was all about. Regards and thankyou again. Sue.............

Greeting's Again Sarah. . . . . I take it we're back to the " Hincks " in Hinckley Area ? Sorry but I don't know a lot about those Bonds other than what it stands for But having looked around the net I would say they are a bit like " Hens Teeth " Also..... That Relative might have got their annual income from other means and not necessarily from a Bond. . . rent from property maybe. . . But I'll ask around for you and get back to you..... MIKE.

Hi Mike, its me again! Just a general querie that I thought you might be the man who knows the answer to...! As you know my tree is quite complex with lots of marrying in and out of the family! Recently I have discovered two children, both with no father recorded on birth certificates. One case, I have tracked as far as I can go, and I think I will never get back any more. The other, it seems, was brought up by her grandmother, who according to census records lived on an annuitant. I was wondering if I could track this in any way (was wondering if the father maybe paid for the childs upkeep?). Do you know where I could take this, or if any of the countys bastardy bond records are still in existence? Many thanks Sarah

Hi mike sorry its how i put it i was wondering if youve got any info on these areas as some of my relatives come from there but i dont want to write it all down in case you havn't best wishes beverly

Hi Beverly,I am trying to tie up William Derry born in 1819,in Long Whatton,and Catherine Dean born 1821 in Barton Frebis, with William and Catherine Derry living in West Derby when my gran Ada, was born.Your help appreciated---Lucy

Greeting's Beverly. . .. Both come under NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. . . Chapel Brampton Reg. District = Brixworth. Litchborough Reg Distinct = Towcester. MIKE. BERYL. . . . I'm sorry but those dates quoted are before any of my Census Disks. . . . The information would only be got from trawling through Parish Registers and then it only states e.g. = " Son / Daughter of John / Elizabeth " or " Bachelor / Spinster Both of this Parish " and some times if your lucky names of Parents and witness. But on one disk there seems to be alot of Blunts & Blounts in the Village of Wymeswold going back to the 1600's. . . And was not sure which Walton ???? Walton -on-the-Wolds. Walton-cum- Kimcote. Walton-in-Knaptoft. You asked about Land Registry ? the only link I can give you is the District Office here in Leicester which covers the County and does searches :- LAND REGISTRY LEICESTER ( Official Searches ) Tel :- 0116 265 4002.
