The Jury is out for the moment ….regarding the Marriage
I see from the 1891 Census that Minnie came from Bedfordshire
Also I see that on this Census return that John the Son is AGED 3.
Which matches up to the following birth in Leicester.

Oct.~ Nov.~ Dec. Qrt 1888.
John James Foster.
Leicester.
Cert No’ 242.

I need to rumage around further to see what I can find

MIKE.

This all sounds like double dutch to me. Lots of you have given me help telling me where to put message, so here goes.

I'm trying to trace an Edward Christopher b 1836 circa in Loughborough, leices. Father John Christopher (cannot find any trace of him either). I have his record AFTER he joined army - 95th Derbyshire Regiment, he was underage at this point and I know of his marriage to Annie Griffiths and all the children. I cant find ANYTHING to do with his birth or his parents and possible siblings? There is an Alamlod Christopher which raises query on the 1851 census, the census is sooo faint you cant read it, but I think this could possibly be Edward, if you write Alamlod down it does look a bit like Edward, but the father then doesnt match? But only on this one census does this Alamlod appear, which is clearly not a correct name.

Hope somebody in Leics can enlighten me as this has been a brick wall for a long time now and is very frustrating? Thank you. Alison

Mike
Many thanks for your time and effort, much appreciated as always.
I have no additional details as they were born before the Mothers maiden name was shown from 1911, I need to know which family to slot them into. As a last resort will have to apply for birth certs.
Kind Regards
Jon O'Kent

Hi Mike

I wonder if you could look for the marriage of John Foster to Minnie? I can't find it on Freebmd but their son John was born 1891, would really like to know what Minnie's maiden name was. John Foster snr. died aged 31 in 1898, can you find any details for this? In 1901 Minnie and son John were living in Alfred Terrace.

Thank you

Regards

Kathleen

Thanks so much Mike, much appreciated!

Many Thanks

Greeting's & welcome...... Angela

Firearms.
Hawkers.
Animal movement.

MIKE.

Hi
I am interested in records of licenses issued c.1902.
I have been told (by Leic city council & the records office) that the police will have dealt with these - so has anyone dealt with the Leicestershire police for this type of enquiry & any tips how to go about it ?

Many thanks for any help

Hi Mike,

I've been so wrapped up in finding Sophia I've overlooked the bloomin' obvious with Sarah's DOB.

Of course you are right, she couldn't have been only 11.

I have the marriage certificate of Sophia to William Colledge and she gives her father's name as 'William Hemsley' (deceased), a Blacksmith. The marriage took place in Derby in 1856, and the age she is down as is 38 and she was a spinster.

I've got very confused with her because on the birth certificates of her children she gives (on one of them) her former name as Hemsley and on the other Knowles.

Also I know people often didn't really know their exact YOB but on the censuses her age is very inconsistent:-

1841. Age 18
1851. Age 24.
1861. Age 40.
1871. Can't find her or family.
1881. Can't find her or family.
1891. Age 66, a widow and gives her name as Ann!

Perhaps if you could just try and find her baptism it might at least point me in the right direction.

I would appreciate ANY help or advice you can give me, I've been looking for this family on and off for a while now and it's driving me mad!

Best Wishes,

Julie

Greeting’s & Welcome. …… Julie

Ummmm. ......... ?

Are you sure of your dates. ..... going on the years you have given
Sarah would be only 11 years old when she gave birth to Sophia.
Unless I’m reading it wrong ?

Having looked at the 1841 & 51 Census returns where Sophia is within the Household of William & Sarah Knowles......

Although Sophia is down as a Daughter.
I would think it’s more likely she was a sister to Sarah.

Just using the resources I have to hand. ………..

Baptism :~

Sarah daughter of Peter & Elizabeth Hemsley.
13th. February 1806.
Kegworth & Diseworth Baptist Church.

Elizabeth dies and Peter ( Widow) marries a Hannah Potter 1820 Kegworth.

Marriage. :~

William Knowles. ~ Sarah Hemsley.
21st. February. 1826.
St: Andrew’s Parish Church.
Kegworth.
By Banns.

I Await further instructions……….
before I check out original registers at the records office.

MIKE.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the kind offer.

I have a Sophia Hemsley who I am pretty sure was illegitimate and whose birth took place in Kegworth around 1818. Her mother Sarah Hemsley, later married (in 1826) a William Knowles, again Kegworth.

I would be very grateful if you could find anything on either Sophia or her mother Sarah. Going by the information Sarah gives on the censuses I reckon she was born about 1807, in Kegworth.

Many Thanks.
