Thank you so much Mike, that is marvellous. The first mentioned Wm Harrison (bapt 1802) who married the Tebbs (believe it must be Tebbs as one of Daniels sons later married an Eliz Tebbs in Thurmaston), must be the brother of my Nanny/Nanne Harrison. - The Wm I am pursuing is her father. A photocopy probably wont be necessary - i trust your excellent skills at reading old handwriting!

Who I helped you with a while back ?

I need to search the Baptism Registers in the New Year at the Records Office
For his Baptism ……..Remember that BIRTH records did not come in till middle of 1837.
Therfore only a Baptism record will be found But if the Church Minister / Vicar was kind he could have recorded the birth date in the left hand margin......

Mike and Elaine, many thanks. Hadnt realised I had messages waiting, sorry! The baptism could well be my William, so Sarah Sleath could be his mother. Thanks both, I appreciate it. xx

That first marriage was the only one I could find and I knew it was too early. If there's anything in Nottingham you want, I will be going to Notts library sometime in the new year

Just discovered more Leicester born folk in my tree. Ann Marshall born in the village of Hoton in 1838, daughter of William and Hannah. William was also born there, in 1816. I have them on all census records, but don't know Hannah's maiden name.

Hi Mike

Thank you so much for taking the time to look into Humphry Greasley for me - I really am stuck on this realative and dont know where to go next in order to ' go beyond' him & find further ancestors (particularly his mothers details and obviously his fathers family) - so any help from you in the New Year woudl be most appreciated.

Having found that nearly all my ancestors derive from Leicester / shire, I have looked with interest at your thread over the last few months.
You have been so 'giving' / 'informative' and 'humerous' -

Thank you once again on behalf of all!

Merry Christmas
Gillian
