Thanks Mike

I don't mind this being on the thread, thanks for asking. I do know Mr Wigley! He is intertwined with this branch of Wards and takes 2 of the children and trains them as tailors. I think his first child died and he seems to have doted on the Ward children.
Thank you so much for looking and copying all that out,
Elaine

Greeting’s Again Elaine

Glad you did not mind me posting that lot …..
It took over an hour to type up working from a photo copy but in small print ….
Plus it took about 45 minutes to find it in the Micro film.

Yes .. I see that the Snaith’s where still there in 1871.

Glad the James B. Wigley was known too you ….:0))))

Did you spot the other Wigley ~ Ward on the 1971. census ?

Marry O’ Italy…..

Yes that Palmer throw me too…….
Usually it’s a relative has you said
Could be an employer of Sarah ?

MIKE. xxx

That Palmer could be anyone, Mike, unfortunately I know nothing at all about Sarah.

Can I ask you for some more look-ups when you have time? I'm trying to tidy up some loose ends with my Pools.

I'm looking for the marriage of Richard Pool (bap 1776) and Letitia (age and maiden name unknown); first child born 1802, or possibly 1800.

I have a possible marriage for them in Kent, but I'm not certain, and I'd like to be sure there isn't a marriage for them in Leicestershire. He was born in Ibstock, but the children were baptised in Leicester .

I'm also looking for a marriage and/or burial for the following children of Richard and Letitia; I can't find any of them on the 1841 census or in the Welford Road cemetery.

- William Pool, baptised 1802
- Mary Ann Pool, baptised 1806
- Stephen Pool, baptised 1808
- Selina Pool, baptised 1809.

They were all baptised at St. Margaret's except William, who was baptised at St. Martin's.

I already have marriage/burial/census information for the other children (Joseph, Henry James and Letitia), so there's no need to look for them.

Mike, I've just seen how long it took you to type up Elaine's newspaper report - another time, if you have such a long document, scan it and send it to me and I'll type it up for you.

I also have an OCR program which works pretty well if the original text is in good condition.

Hi Mike

George above is Annie's brother, I thought of Hannah when reading it
Elaine

Elaine,

Wonder if the Snaiths you know are related to the one that married my Jane Butler?

Thomas Snaith married Jane after the death of her husband John. Thomas and Jane had one son James who appears to have died young. By 1861 they are living in London Road, but in 1843, they are living at 56 Belgrave Gate running the Chemist/Druggist business started by John Butler.

Have found a couple of directories that show Snaith, a Cabinet Maker, in Belgrave Gate - one lists a John - could that be a father/brother of Frederick?

Wonder if Thomas was related to the Cabinet Makers? Hadn't realised it before but the location would certainly fit!!

Hi Mike
Would you do me another favour please.
Marriage of Thomas Lord to Mary could be Frost c1654 at Countesthorpe do you have this on your discs please
Sue.......

Hi Maggie

No Snaiths or Butlers yet but will keep you posted. If you have anybody living in Foundry Lane or Eld's, Belgrave end, it's definitely worth running by me

Hi Mike

SNAITH Walter William Ward Leicester 7a 183
SNAITH Walter William Ward Leicester 7a 185

Very interesting!
Elaine

Mike,
Have had a look, mother Mary Ward and from Northampton so no connection with what I have but one to remember
Elaine

Hi all,

Would anybody please be able to do a look up for me in the Leicester burial index (not GRO) for Robert Conway and Ann Conway. The timeframe I am interested in is 1810 to about 1865

Thank you in advance

I've just had a quick look in the Welford Road cemetery index - there's no Robert Conway, but two Anns: one from Green Street died 1865 aged 49, and one from Bedford Street died 1866 aged 19. Do either of those sound promising?

Hi Mary,

Thank you very much for the lookup, the 2 Anns you have found are a bit younger than I am looking for. There are a couple from FreeBMD that I have found that could be promising if anyone has a Leicester burial index and would be kind enough to let me know the ages if they are listed

Deaths Sep 1843 (>99%)

CONWAY Robert Leicester 15 73

Deaths Dec 1845 (>99%)

CONWAY Ann Leicester 15 89

Yes, you'll need someone with the burial index for those, because the Welford Road records begin in 1849.
