Me again - sorry, forgot to say - Barrow on Soar is a district in Leicestershire.

GENUKI has a list of registration districts and all the places in each. Go to http(://)www.fhsc.org.uk(/)genuki(/)reg(/) If you can't find what you are looking for, try the GENUKI search engine - I've found places which weren't on the pages from the link above because they were "ancient parishes" (or something like that"). Good luck

I have found the following site very good to help find Scottish place names - ancestralscotland.com. Hope it's of use to someone.

There's Barrow in Furness, er... Lancs. I think. And yes there is a website - I have seen it on previous messages- but alas cannot remember it. Someone I am sure will help. There are probably several other 'Barrows' too. Rosi Colchester ESS
