Hi, I have John Charlesworth b 1799 Castle Donington, who married Jane Lickiss then moved to Birmingham (1841 census listed as on Towing Path,Birmingham so he was a Boatman). Is there any way of checking for John's father? It MAY be that he was the John Charlesworth from Ashby christened in 1754 (info via IGI). I was going to try and get to Leics Records Office to access Parish Records, but I believe they're closed for refurb.? Any information would be gratefully received!! Cynthia

Hello Bev been a while Elaine

L O ....Eliane ...... We might need your expert advice soon on more Boatman coming up re Cythia's post ? ... Heard that there was another talk at Belgrave Hall on ' Boatman around Leicester ' BUT believe it's SOLD OUT already...:o((((( MIKE. xx

Ready and waiting to help at last!!! Elaine

Hi Elaine Hope you are keeping ok Bev

Good thanks Bev, Really busy since moving, just keep popping in and out to have a look but the move was the best thing we ever did. Elaine

Many thanks for your help. Sorry for the delay in replying I've been in Zummerzet for a few days! I have most of those that you listed and I know the Records Office is closed (how dare they!!) but any additional info in the future will be greeted with whoops of joy (honest!) They travelled about a bit, these canal folk. Once more, thanks a lot. Cynthia

Hi everyone, I've been lucky enough to get a direct line back to 1640ish, all thanks to the parish register's at the L.R.O Wigston. What i'd like to know is, now i've found all these ancester's what record's are availiable and where should i be looking to try and find more info about them ? They all seem to have been grazier's from Horninghold, Medbourne, Stonton Wyville , Illston on the Hill and Gaulby. Thanks in advance Sue. P.S I have already checked the will's.

......and the question is...... Was it Mike who set off the fire alarm in the Scout Centre on Thursday??? Was he having a crafty fag or piece of toast?????

*** F.A.O.***..... Maggie in Leicestershire. * Gulp *...... ' NOT GUILTY ' Too busy cashing up .... Seems it might have been ALL the HOT AIR ... Coming from the ' Martin Room ' up stairs ... ( According to the senses light on the alarm board ....) MIKE....... Reputation still in tact....

Greeting’s & Welcome Sue Tansley….. Know how cuffed you must feel……. back to 1600’s I too can go back on one of my branches back to 1600’s Depends how much “ Meat on the bone” you what to put on your Tree.? Seeing the early dates you have quoted it will be only achieved by trawling Parish archives. …. Other thing’s to look for……… Land Registers. Settlement Certificates. Minutes of Parish Committee Meetings. Above can be searched at Wigston Records Office. Just ask the Librarian at the desk in search Room No. 2. You’ll find them most helpful…….. Tansley's ....? My next door neighborers back in 42 ~ 63. MIKE.

Mike do you know if Wigston Records office hold Parish Committee meeting minutes for Shenton around 1840-1890

Mike 'Seems it might have been ALL the HOT AIR ...' Certainly was plenty of that!!! LOL

Hi folks Will be popping in to Coalville Library this week. Parish registers cover Whitwick, Thringstone, Hugglescote etc. Am willing to do lookups provided I have at least a name and a date (for instance, I can't do blanket lookups for Joseph Moore!. Other info might be helpful. Jan

im tracing the derry family furthest back so far thomas derry 1701 married jane mowbray children francis and valentine lorraine

Hello Jan Thanks for your kind offer, it's me chasing Moore's too, we spoke a while ago. I have 1851 Census HO/107/2090 Living at 60 Braunstone Gate, St Mary's, Leicester George Moore Head Age 33 Occupation Labourer Born Nailstone, Leicester (Thringstone 1861 ??? ) Sarah Wife Age 27 Occupation Laundress Born Nailston, Leicester George Son Age 6 Born Whitwick, Leicester Ann Dau Age 4 Born Whitwick, Leicester Thomas Son Age 3 Born Whitwick, Leicester William Son Age 1 Born Whitwick, Leicester Jane Kendrick Age 20 Sister Occupation Laundress Born Hugglescote, Leicester Emma Kendrick Age 9 Sister Born Hugglescote, Leicester Sarah's maiden name is Kendrick, whilst I can't pinpoint anything definate for you to look up, I wondered if you could bear the children (George c1845, Ann c 1847,Thomas 1848 and William c1850) in mind if you were looking through baptism registers for your family. I only know Thomas's birth which was 20th March 1848, Whitwick and George and Sarah were married 24th Jan 1843 at Hugglescote. I have a contact who has a William Moore in her tree connected by surnames Mee, Algood and Hallam if it rings a bell with you, let me know in case Many thanks Elaine
