Hello Mike

While I am waiting for my Samuel Sanby death cert I wondered if you could help me again with my Hall family in Belton, Leicestershire.

Just to recap, my GG Grandfather William Hall was born 1829 in Belton, unfortunately you couldn’t find his baptism. His father was Charles b1799 and you found his burial on 29/6/1838. You then found William in the 1841 census and your thoughts were that he was with his grandparents Edward b 1775 and Mary Hall also in Belton.

I have found children for Edward and Mary on familysearch, Charles 1799, William 1803 James 1805, Mary 1806, Elizabeth Ann 1808, Sarah 1811 and George 1814. William and George are still with Edward and Mary in the 1841 census.

I have found Edward in the 1851 and 1861 census at Whitwick and he is described as a lodger living with Edward Hall b1801 Belton and his wife Mary. Do you think this is another son? Could you check the parish records for me as Edward b1801 does not show up on the familysearch site.

I have found a death registration for Edward Hall in 1866 at Loughborough Q4 7a 67. They have his birth year as 1786 instead of 1775. Can you check the parish burial records to see if he is buried in Whitwick?

I can find no record for the death of his wife Mary b c1777. In the 1861 census he is a widower, can’t read the 1851 it is too faint. Could you see if there is a death in the Belton parish records for her 1841-1851?

Hope all this makes sense!! Would be very grateful for any help please!

Thank you

..no I did'nt, but that's typical for history being wiped out, take a look a at Gun wharf quays in Pompey.

As an aside I have just had a look at at 64 Granby St. it is now an interent Cafe convenience store, I will definitely have to visit when time allows.

Did you know that Tho Cook was the 1st. person in Leicester
to have fresh water piped Into their premises ?

There is a Big row going on at the moment with regards his Temperance Hotel
Site ( Granby Street )
The Council want to pull it down as per usual…and build new Shops / Offices.

MIKE.

...but the Cooke's did travel for free for a while,Gfthr C.C Cooke, Ypres, Belgium, 1917, picked up an MM.

D.R.Cooke, Egypt, 1947, picked up treatable deseases, no medals and a bad attitude..at least he never went to Korea!

All free trips c/o HM Gov. won't mention mine!

Bob

Not forgetting ALL the FREE travel & Holidays you could have had. ...:0((((

All together now ,,,Arh shame....

I think the Granby Arms was oposite to where C & A's was ( Coat & ats )

..and at the opposite side of the street in the odd numbers, Thomas Cook without the e was a tee total travel agent, oh how I missed out by one e and and few beers!!
Bob

Scan winging it's way
to your Fsnet E-mail
as I type this

....Hi all, I have taken a look at that site. It doesn't mention the Three Crown Mews on Rutland Street, as Mike will know form research given to me, the proprietor in 1871 was George Cooke.

I'd be interested to see his name listed on a website.

Regards, Bob

Ah, I should have guessed.

I haven't been on that site for a while because it stopped working for quite a long time. I shall have to have another look.

Greeting’s again Mary O’ Italy.

Sorry to disappoint you…….I’ve NO Disc
But I got that information off the net at this site :~

Oh, you have a disc with pubs and publicans?

I have a couple of publicans in my tree.

John and Anne Biggs kept the Royal Standard on Charles Street (about 1899) and the Lord Lyons in Gartree St. (about 1908), and Joseph and Elizabeth Ellen Badham kept the Sawyer's Arms in Lee Street (1870s-80s). Joseph was the Vice-Chairman of the Beer and Wine Trade National Defence League.

Do you have anything about them?

Ah, thanks - I thought it was odd that Woodboy Street would be written as Wood Street.
