Hi Andy

Had a look 1837 (Jul-Sep ) to 1839 and didn't find a Sophia Dennis. Before that it would be a burial entry in Parish Records, have only checked Ancestry BMD's

Hello again Mike,

I know you are very busy but I am still struggling with my James Neal (Tailor) and his wife Emily Foster. Elaine kindly looked up Nottingham baptisms but only one was 1810 which seems a bit late. When you have time could you see if you can find any James Neal/Neale/Neall baptism in Leicester 1800 to 1806, and also Emily Foster born c1806 in Market Harborough.

Also would there be indetures anywhere for apprentices in Tailoring, and what age would they have started in Tailoring. I know Kew keep some documents but only up to 1810, which is too early for my relatives.

Thanks

Sue

Hi Mike
Could you please help me with this. I have a Moses Boswell, James Boswell and other Boswells registered with no name only age, male or female. in 1841 census, I know they are gypsies. Written in the margin is see page 42. How would I go about seeing page 42. The place they are camping is in Shardlow Derbyshire.
Thanks Linda S

Hi Mike

I limp onwards with my Bodycote line, two steps forward, one step back.

Robert Bodycot married Ann Cooke in the September Quarter of 1850 in Leicester and if he was as adventuroous as most of his forebears I would guess St Margarets or St Leonards.

I think he is the brother of Henry and Charles (my 3 x gt grandfather) and therefore son of Joseph and Elizabeth, but with the parallel families around there is always a chance that he wasn't! Is there any chance you could just check the father's name on the marriage entry for me?

If he is one of Joseph's boys why does he say he was born in St Lucia when Joseph's army record suggests that he never moved out of India?

There are more questions than answers as someone once said.

Sheila

Greetings Mike
Can you please check if there are any parential details against the birth of James TOMPKINS b1838 Dec Qtr (Leicester), and the same for James TOMKINS b1842 Dec Qtr (Leicester).
Many thanks
Jon O'Kent

Greeting’s & Welcome………. Linda S.

Good question…..where’s page 42.?

After a long search around the Census returns for that area........
Mickleover within the Registration District of Shardlow. Derbyshire.
I could only get up to page 40.. ……..

Then it dawned on me that in fact Page 42. is. …………….
The end pages of the Enumerators Book.
This would not appear on the internet because it would not be of any use to a Genealogist as it’s only a summery sheet of the return figures for that particular Book…….
The only Way to view these pages would be to buy the Disc for that Census
Then they would appear……

But using one of my Census Discs……..
Here is a rough idea what those pages would contain :~

e.g. :~

Occupied Dwellings………..150.
Unoccupied dwellings ……..12.
Workhouses …………………..250.Inmates
Gypsies……………………………….9.

Male………………………………….. 422.
Females……………………………….375.
Totals………………………………….797.

Now. ……. There is a very good Travelers web site
Which has your Boswells on it….
It states that Moses Boswell was a grinder. b.c 1791.

Hi Mike,How r you?
I am here again asking for your help. I know that my ancestor Sarah Ann's father is Thomas Chapman. The birth cert states that he is from Seaton, Rutland, and he was a railway labourer.

He is on 1971 census with wife Elizabeth, nee ?? and 6 children inc Sarah Ann age 11 at 47 Albion Street, Leicester. He is from Seaton

He is on 1881 census with Elizabeth and 4 children at 47 Albion St Leicester. Birthplace here given as Thorpe by Water.

I'd be pleased to have more information on Thomas and Elizabeth ( she was born Knighton )

He is in Register Of Electors 1881 Poll.Dis. 7 Leicester at 47 Albion Street Leicester. He is also on the Burgess Roll for Leicester 1881/82 at 47 Albion St.

I cannot find a birth for Thomas.
Thanks, Pamela

Hi again Mike, Have just looked through my records and Thomas Chapman married Elizabeth Holwell of Knighton

Bye Pamela

Greeting's Pamela ....

Did you have a year date for that Marriage
UPDATED.
Got marriage year Oct. Qrt. 1854.
Leicester.
Cert No' 7a. 437.

Also I think you meant 1871 ...not 1971. Census returns
