Greeting’s & Welcome. …… Kathleen.

We have a choice of two due to NO location given in your request. :~

.
St: Peter & St: Paul. Parish Church..
BARLESTONE.
Leicestershire.

Parish Burial Reg. No'. 392.

ERNEST GIBSON.

Abode. …..BARLESTONE

8th.-December. 1911.

Aged. 9.

And from the G.R.O. Death Index Records Site.

Oct. ~ Nov. ~ Dec. Qrt. 1911.

Ernest Gibson.
Leicester.
Aged. 9.
Cert. No’. 7 a 325.

The event above did NOT appear in my Welford Road Cemetery Index....
There fore it could have been Gilroes Cemetery ........Sorry.

After some thought the details seem the same albeit
the Death was Registered in Leicester
and the burial took place in the Parish of Barlestone.

Just wonder if Ernest died at an address in Leicester….?
So that’s why the Death was register at the Leicester Registrars Office
But coming from Barlestone he was buried there

Hi Mike

Thanks very much. That is great stuff have to digest this.

I have one more thing to ask is.
Sarah Wakely / Fint immigrated to Australia, on the shipping records it ask if they have any relations living here. Sarah said she did a brother George.

Would you be able to find anything on him.
Thanks again

Hi Mike,

Could you do me a couple of Loughborough look-ups when you have a minute?

1. I'm looking for a marriage between Catherine Billson (1779-1847?) and Edward Parkinson (c1775-1803), probably around 1800, because the first child I know of was born in 1801. The family were Baptists, but I assume they would have had to marry in a CofE church. When Catherine remarried in 1808, it was at All Saints, Loughborough.

2. I'm also looking for a marriage between John Billson (c1745-1819) and Elizabeth ?, probably around 1778, because the first child I know of was baptised in 1779, also at All Saints, Loughborough.

Thanks a lot!

Mary

I’ve made a start by looking at the Baptism Register for
St: Mary & St: Hardulph. Parish Church Breedon – on - the – Hill.

My reaction to the entry of Elizabeth was:~
1st. Sept. 1811.
Elizabeth BEAL Dau of Hannah Potts.
Breedon.
H Foster. Curate.

Now…… We have the following Marriage :~

John Potts. ~ Hannah PERCIVALL.
Both of this Parish.
Married in this Church by Banns
This Fifteenth day of January
One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eleven.
By Me :~ John Middleton. Vicar.
John signed by own signature
Hannah by her Mark …X

In the Presence of :~
Enoch Percivall.
Hannah Potts. ( Mother of John ? )

So…. If they followed the naming order in those days
The BEAL name could be the maiden name of Hannah Percivall’s Mother or John's Mother's maiden name ?

So was Elizabeth the Daughter of John's Mother ?
or did Hannah Percivall conceive before her marriage to John ? which was just nine months before the Baptism ?

The rest of your list Registers read thus :~

Mary Potts 17th Nov 1811. Daughter of John & Hannah Potts Lab. Breedon.
Mary Potts 5th May 1814 mother is Hannah Potts
( Mary dies two years latter buried 11th. Jan. 1815. aged. 2.)

Mary Potts 29th Sept 1816 Dau. of John Potts and Hannah Potts Lab. Breedon.

John Potts 8th Aug 1814 John Potts and Hannah Potts. Lab. Breedon.

Plus :~
Sarah Potts 28th. July. 1819.Dau. of John & Hannah Potts. Lab. Breedon.

MARRIAGE :~ 1832.
St Mary & St: Hardulph. Parish Church. Breedon - on - the - Hill.
Page. 32.
Entry No’. 94.
John Dakin. Of the Parish of Mickleover
In the County of Derbyshire.

Elizabeth Potts. Of this Parish.

Married in this Church by Banns
This Seventeenth Day of December.
One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Two.
By Me : ~ James ? .( Sorry not clear to be sure of surname )

John signed the register by his Mark ….X.

Hi Mike,

I would really appreciate your help, I am trying to confirm who the parents and siblings were of Elizabeth Potts who was baptised on 1/9/1811 at Breedon on the Hill. I have a copy of the parish record which appears to read Elizabeth Pea l d of Hannah Potts. The copy isn't very good. Others who have read it think the middle name was Pearl. I thought she was illegitimate as no father was mentioned.

On finding the extracted record on Familysearch there are no parents name nor mention of a middle name. When I click on the batch number for baptisms with the Potts surname there are 15 results which include:

Mary Potts 17th Nov 1811
Mary Pott 5th May 1814 mother is Hanah Pott
Mary Pott 29th Sept 1816 John Pott and Hanah
John Potts 8th Aug 1814 John Potts and Hanh

The other entries are late 1700's. My Elizabeth was married to John Dakin on 17th Sept 1832 at Breedon on the Hill, Is there any way of finding out who her parents and siblings were? Hope you can help.

Thanks

Chris

How sure are you that it’s Thomas Clarke & Ann née Harriman
Being the parents of Thomas b c 1826. in Woodhouse.

Thomas Clarke & Ann Harriman Married in 1811
at St Mary’s – in – the Elms Parish Church Woodhouse
By Banns.

There fore 1826 is 15 years after Thomas & Ann got married
So would they still be producing children ? .

More likely to be the following :~

1826.
St Mary’s – in – the – Elms Parish Church Woodhouse.

Thomas Son of George & Sarah Clarke …Bapt 30th.?
Sorry I can not read the Month.

George’s Occupation was a Labourer. Living in Woodhouse Eaves.
