Mike
I did type a message to you a short time ago do not know what is happening. I have been looking to see if you received, does not appear to have gone on the board.

Thankyou for the info again on Capenhurst.
I think maybe the disrepancy was also due to him using a variation on the name. On his birth it was Capenenhurst which is still used by some relatives.

Just a thought Mike,did you manage to find anything on Joan Hadfield and Eric Richard Fuller`

Two different Volume numbers…….

MARRIAGE. :~ 7A. 567.

DEATH. :~ 3A. 567.

Due to Change of district numbering
Although the Book number happens to be the same 567.
Just a coincidence……

I see that they had a second go at getting it right for Arthur’s Death.
One under the Name Capenhurst. And another Caperhurst.

Remember if an error is made then they have to make another one out
By Law...... They can not cross things out.

Hi Mike.
Yet another request. I have just been doing a search on the index for Death of,
Arthur. C. Capenhurst/Capenenhurst of Leicester.
I found him in 1962 Aged 54.
The certificate No was the same Number he had, when he married Alice Brookes in O/N/D 1936.
I thought this unusual. Any ideas please Marian

Mary,

Altho my friend is a "junior" when it comes to family history, someone else in the family has done a bit of work on the Biddles. Had it in my head that your Elizabeth was from Rothley - none of Sheila's are - think she said some of hers hail from Stamford amongst other places - let me know if you want more info. Sheila doesn't do email, but I could get a look at her hard copy next time I see her if you wish.

That's excellent, Mike, thanks very much for your hard work.

I shall have to research them further, but it doesn't sound as though that William North and Elizabeth Wood are mine; William's age is 10 years out, and he was a carrier and farmer, not a bricklayer. It's useful to be able to eliminate that marriage, though.

The Fletcher-Tugby marriage is definitely mine; that's a big help. Nice to have confirmation that Jugby was a mistranscription, too.

Thanks again,
Mary

Thank you Mike, you have indeed saved me a lot of expense with your searches for me and I am very grateful.

Just as a footnote I looked up Gangraena Senilis and it can be caused by over indulgence of the wealthy!! So he may have lived on a farm but obviously over did it!!

Thank you for updating me on the outcome of your Samuel Sanby,,,,,
It’s not often I get to know the end results to my searches
Oh dear !! ….. How very Sad to think it ended like that
after a health life on the farm.
So Samuel's finial resting place could well be in Stamford then ?
Which is a very pleasant Country Town to visit.

IF Lincoln was nearer to me then I could have saved you the price of that certificate but then sometimes it’s the only way but an lest I did save you other certificates…….

If I can help you again just ask.

Hello Mike
Just thought I would let you know Samuel Sanby's death cert turned up today. Poor thing died of Gangraena Senilis - not pleasant.

He died in Scotgate, Saint John's, Stamford in the counties of Lincoln, Rutland and Northhampton. I know this is out of your area but I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the help you have given me with my Samuel.

Do I take it that you couldn't find the other burial for a John Smith in 1863 and the burials for John Allen - 4 dates, addresses for these would help me a lot.

Thank you very much
