Good news...... and bad!!

The Good News - Mike is alive and kicking and serving in the Scout shop when I spoke to him and says "you can stop passing the hat round for the floral tributes" cos he'll be back!! He thanks you all for your concern!!

The Bad News - He's been having pooter problems and altho he could get onto some sites, he couldn't get onto Genes - and even the ones he could get on to sometimes it was only for a few seconds!! (He wasn't ignoring us - honest!!).

Hopefully his problems are on the way to being sorted and if he doesn't get on tonight, will hopefully be back with a vengeance once the weekend is over!!

We look forward to seeing you soon Mike!!

Hi Maggie
Thanks for the good news

Hi All,

Glad to hear Mike will be back... I miss the chat that goes on..

Cheers.

Yes it will be good to see Mike's name again. I think he has helped everyone at some time. I'm sometimes out of UK for several weeks at a time but when I'm back, it seems Mike is holding everything (everyone?) together.

Glad to hear the great man is still around, he has helped me in the past, but i will wait until he is up and running before my next questiion.

Has anyone been able to find anything about Ann Arnold who married Thomas Smith in 1844. I think Ann's father's name is also Thomas

Hi all,

Does anyone happen to know where Justice Street, Belgrave, was?

I can't find it on a current Leicester map, and it's not on the online list of old Leicester street names.

An ancestor of mine died there in 1879.

That's great, Mike, thanks very much. I see you got your computer fixed :-)

Now wondering why my great-grandmother Mary North died in Justice Street, when she and her husband lived in Wharf Street.

I've never found a burial for her, either in Rothley where they lived previously (she's not on the County burial disc) or at Welford Road.

Would St. Peter's Belgrave be a likely spot for a burial in 1879? There's an online index of tombstone inscriptions for St. Peter's, but her name isn't included.

Thanks again,
Mary

G,day Mile

Hi Mike
Glad to have you back we all missed you
Bev

Thank you Mike, you worked that magic again, i now have to work out which is the right marriage.

My William Underwood was born in Thorpe Satchville 1799, so not much help.

Can i be a pain and ask who the the witnesses to both marriages were, to see if it will help please?

Sylvia

Seasonal Greeting’s again…….. Sylvia.

I’ll have to look at the original Parish registers for the Wit’s
For both Marriages & whilst I’m at it I’ll check out the Baptism one for
Houghton – on – the _ Hill.
Looking for the Magic occupation of “ Farmer” for William.

This will be next week now ....that's if no one upsets my plans again....Grr ....:o))

MIKE……….

Seasons greetings to you Mike

Thank you, will wait til you can get there, no hurry.

William Underwood was a "ag lab" on the census

Fingers crossed the witnesses were family members

HI Mike

I don't think you will be able to helpme as it seems Oakthorpe and Donisthorpe comes under Derbyshire when they are in Leicestershire! A website suggests looking under Measham, Ashby, Stretton, Church Gresley and Netherseal. So, it looks like there wasn't a chirch in Oak. or Don. until 1838. Actually, do any of these parishes come under Leicestershire? maybe Ashby.

Regards

Hi Mike,
So nice to have you back....

.. and before I forget..
MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody...

Looking for a marriage, maybe Hungerton or Melton Mowbray,
Henry Harley and Eleanor ,about 1731, first child born 1733 in Melton Mowbray. Not sure of their birth dates, but his parent were William Harley and Joan Clouson, married in 1689 Melton Mowbray.

Many Tks as always for your help.

Cheers.
