I've passed it on to a fellow Eld who keeps the database for us and I know she will be interested in the 2 birth places you mention for James. Am unsure whether she realised one was a Held until your correction
Thanks for the info

The two birthplaces (Oundle and Shepshed) both come from the censuses - no idea which one's correct.

There's no matching baptism for him on the IGI in either place, so you'll need to check the parish registers.

(¯`*•.¸ (¯`*•.¸F.A.O. English Bob. ¸.•*¨) ¸.•*¨)


Fiche DE 667./ 5. One of Five fiches.

All Saints Parish Church. Loughborough.

Reads thus :~

BAPTISMS and BURIALS ANNO DOMINI :~ 1792.

APRIL. :~

Thomas Son of John COOKE ( Hosler )
And Rebekah his Wife.
Baptised 27th.

Now I could read ( Hosler )
Two ways…..
Either Hosier ( Knitting ) But the I was NOT dotted.
Plus the up stroke was further up than a i in lowercase.

Or

A poor spelling of Ostler ( Groom ) this could match up with Coachman duties ?

..Mike, again you are on form, very little industrial work in Loughboro' at that time, so Hostler, Ostler is very good. Did you get a scan?

I would rather build a new family group around a man who knows horses than a guess date in Notts.

Had a quick look on the IGI, very little nfo for L'boro those 5 years

Stay in touch, regards Bob

I'm going to be in Leicester from Wednesday till Sunday, and I'll try to call in at the Records Office while I'm over.

Is it too late to book a place, Mike?

Greeting's Mary O' Italy.....

There is usually a lull in the demand for Fiche readers from 11.00. on most Thursday's......

But here's the phone No. just in case :~

44 + 0116 257 1080.

44 = England International code

Look out for the " Bearded blur" working from either Fiche reader No.'s 15 ~ 23......lol :0)))

Hello

Is anyone able to access Parish Records for Aylestone? I'm trying to find marriage details for John Winterton in 1897 and his sisters Florence in 1901 and Elizabeth. Their father was Charles.

Would be grateful for any help
Thank you

Hello Mike
Thank you for your offer.
I think Elizabeth may have been 1897 the same as John, but not really sure about her
