Mike,

Thanks for looking.

Article was talking about a building that used to be next to St Martins (hospital?? Wyggestons?? something like that!!) - pic of building over wall from graveyard with a few stones in the foreground.

If you think it's the right one, please can you send it - all old email addresses still working at the present time.

Thanks lots.

But no pictures of Graveyard shown

Just wondering....

There was a pic in the Leicester Mercury (in the last couple of weeks or so) of St Martins churchyard before they "rearranged" the gravestones.

(My Butlers buried at St Martins, but if they had stones they are long since gone!!).

Has anyone still got the paper with the pic in? - I mistakenly recycled mine before I clipped the pic!!

Happy Easter Bank Hol from chilly Leics where we are still getting flakes of snow!!

Got that, just trying to connect them all up but no marriage, everything points to Samuel Whitwell marrying a Rebecca, just having a look round now

Elaine

Samuel is buried in St. Margaret's Church
31st. May. 1840.

go see on your copy of Leicester Borough Burials disk CD No. 8.

MIKE.xxx ....Your next question is ? ....lol

Got it.....

...on it's way now

Greeting’s again Eliane…..

YES that Square is genuine…….

Although I’ve tried before to find it’s location
with the help of Records Office staff….
But we couldn’t pin point it….

Three choices all on Granby Street. …….

Granby Place. …… ( Opposite the old Gomount Cinema.)
Alfred Place. ….. ( Opposite the Grand Hotel )

Or….. per 1910. there was what looked like a Quadrangle of houses
with flower gardens with paths radiating out from the centre.
Which occupied what was to become the site of the Grand Hotel
Between Belvoir Street & Chatham Street.

Granby Square is certainly on the 1841 Census but difficult to pin point
Not knowing in which direction the Enumerator traveled.

Send me a scan of the address ?

Sorry NO Kitchen Burials found in any of the Indexes Loughborough.

Trawled UK Marriage Indexes 1884 ~ 1906
But could not match up Henry to a Selina Burchnall
But will keep my eyes open . …..

MIKE.xx

Hi again Mike,

Do you happen to have any burial indexes for Loughborough?

I am looking for the burials of the following in Loughborough, although it is possible the Kitchen family eventually came to Leicester.

Henry Maples Kitchen born 1872
Selina/Selena Kitchen born abt 1866
Any Kitchen children who were born between 1891 - 1910

Any Tilley children born between 1882 and died before 1901

Also I don’t know whether you could help with the following:

The marriage of Henry Maples Kitchen and Selina (unknown maiden name).

In 1891 Henry is living with his parents in Nottingham, by 1901 he is in Leicester with a “wife” called Selina and a 3 year old child Agnes. I have Agnes’ birth certificate and it says her mother’s maiden name is Burchnall, but I can not find her on any census (other that a possibility in 1871) apart from 1901 or a marriage between herself and Henry.

I was thinking that they might have got married some time after 1901 in Leicestershire.

If you could help or even give me some advice on where to look next, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

In answer to your problem of Parentage of one Robert Hartshorn c 1802.
Plus a link of Hartshorn Family of Leicester to Hartshorn families of Thurmaston.

I had a look at the original Baptism registers for St. Michaels Thurmaston.

Fiche No. DE 1256. / 2.

Reads thus :~

BAPTISMS ANNO DOMINI 1802.

22.nd.August…………Robert Son of Richard & DOROTHY Hartshorn.
H. Woodcock. Curate.

Definitely not DORATHY…..
But as you stated it could have been a case of not hearing the Mother’s name clearly ( Deborah ) or the Parish Clark could not make out the name from the Ministers notes.?

Other Baptisms found with Parents Richard & Deborah Hartshorn.:~

1795. 12th. April…………….Ann.
1796. 4th. December. …Mary.
1802. 22.nd.August…….. ROBERT.
1805..12th. April…………..Sarah.
1807. 7th. June……………..William.
1808. 22nd. October…...Rebecca.
1810. 24th. October…….Elizabeth.

Fiche No. DE 1256./ 8.

MARRIAGE ANNO DOMINI. :~ 1794.

Entry No. 96.

Richard Hartshorn. Of the South end of Thurmaston.
The Parish of Belgrave.

Deborah GRAVES. Of the same Parish.
Married in this Chapel by Banns.
By Me.:~ Samuel Woodford. Curate.

This Seventh Day of July.
One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Four.

Richard signed the register by own signature.
Deborah by her Mark = X
In the Presence of :~
Mary Hartshorn ?
T. Owing ( Parish Clark )

So there is your Linking of Thurmaston & Belgrave Leicester.

Hope this helps you.

MIKE.
