Hi all, me again - get the pills ready.. I have in my possession a death certificate for William Craddock Bond who died in 1861 (19th May) at Leicester lunatic asylum (now, there is a surprise!) in the sub district of West Leicester.
Does anyone have any idea as to where this was/is?

Much appreciated as ever,
Sarah

Thankyou so much Mike, as always, you are the best!

Copied from an old Thread :~

Hi Mike, are you still looking to help people? My Grandmother was Elizabeth Jordan, born 1827 who wed John smith in Leicester. I know that they once lived in Orchard street, and that John once lived in Earl Shilton, but I know nothing about her parents, where she was born or when she died. It would be lovely if you could help. Eileen

Sorry but with a very popular surname of Smith
it would be very difficult to pin point the right Burial. ….

MIKE. ……..

Thanks Mike, this may help me quite a bit. You are very kind.

hi mike, I sent a message a few months back asking for your help regarding a child Charles William Bennett, born Jan 1861 Thurlaston, I have no rcord of him since 1861 census, although have found his mother with her name changed. I have been unable to find a death that seeems to fit and wondered if you could check PR for the area of Thurlaston. many thanks Chrys.

Found this - of interest to anyone with links to Knighton: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66594

Mike, Hope you have recovered from that wee camp - think the above will answer that confusion about the road lived on by my Heatherill - Sandown v. Lansdowne!!

Just a thought - don't suppose you have a record that shows which church John Bradshaw Norton and Jane Butler were married in in Leicester in the quarter ending Sept 1853 do you? My bet would either go to a non conformist church, or St Margaret's, but could of course be wrong!!

Thanks.

Hello Mike
I am back with another request!
I am looking for the death of my 3xGt Grandmother- Elizabeth Simpson. I last have her on 1891 census aged 80 - Leicester St. Mary / Living on own means.
Can you find her death? She does not seem to be on 1901 census.
Thanks
Glenys

Hi there, this thread somehow just popped up as a recent thread, though I cannot find a recent post on it.

However, I have so much family in Leicester and would be thrilled if it is still a happening thing.

Is it? Is Mike still out there?
