Mike>> We're flying into Christchurch, brother lives in Franz Josef on the West Coast. Don't mention the N** F** word to me after Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was the first time ever i was so cold that had to go down on concourse for last 15 mins Paula

Greeting's Again Linda.... ' Come off it M'Duck that's posh '....lol :0))) You know Leicester is always behind Nottingham.....lol Just had a look in the bookshop's list and can't see anything like that But I'll ask Peter (Shop Manager ) on the 13th and get back to you.....Promise..... MIKE. Paula ... Safe journey... ' Can I carry your bags Misses ' ...lol and look in at my Brother's in NZ.....PAPANUI Christchurch South Island.....

Hi Mike Thanks for offering to help as usual, I have Warrens galore sorted out now so will have to look at the Powells in Foundry Lane and I hear you shout 'where else would they be'!!! Might look later as have visitors today. Hi Paula Have a wonderful time, friends of mine are touring ther at the moment and they are loving it Elaine

Thanks Mike Won't be going to the records office for a few weeks now as i'm off to NZ/Australia for 4 weeks on Wednesday. My auntie moved in Oz from Leicester in the 60s and she knows i've started tracing the family tree and shes kept all the letters my grandad and grandma wrote to her since she went (they wrote every weeks for years) She said some of the letters refer to various ancestors so i'm bringing all my family tree printouts over and seeing if we can find out any more about the people Paula

Hi Mike, Could you help me once again, at the nottingham FHS you can buy a list of baptisms in your families surname for £3-65. Is it possible to get the same sort of thing from Leicester FHS. Cheers. Linda

Our Baptist church deposts records with the East Midlands Baptist Association - I imagine other denominations have similar arrangements. Jan

Greeting's Again Paula...... If you mean the Church next to the Memorial Park (Floral Bed fronts onto Long Street ) I believe that to be a United Reform Church. If your stuck for a church name I find this site useful :- If you type into your search engine ( goggle ) find a church and then click on the link to the directory. then type in the City/Town/ Village you require. I'm not sure where nonconformist Churches deposit they records I'll ask on a week on Sunday at the LRFHS AGM and get back to you..... MIKE.

Mike>> I've been going to the records office in Wigston on Saturday mornings as often as i can (work in the week) and am working my way through the parish records of the churchs i knew my ancestors lived near. One of my branches lived in Wigston and i've been through nearly all of the All Saints records but there are quite a few not on there. I know there is another church just down from the records office (not sure what sort maybe baptist?) Does the record office have parish records for non church of England churches and if so where are they? Paula

Elaine... Well it doesn't have every thing in it and it's only a list of events....Christenings Burials and Marriages but only brief information..... I think it might be better to put that price towards a Census disk...But don't let me put you off... and theres always me to ask ..... MIKE.

Hi mike Long time no speak, been caught up with boatman again and Northampton connections. Yes it is number 31 and it's just coincidence about the AGM. I wondered if that disc was worth buying insted of trekking from Nottingham Elaine

Elaine..... Are you thinking of going to the A.G.M. then next Sunday 13th. ? Is that CD NO. 31. ' The Leicestershire Project ' ? If so it's a good resource But a bit difficult to work the search programme until you get use to it ...... MIKE....Exits stage left waving poster ' Unfair to helpers '....:0(

Hi all Was just looking to join Leicester history society and saw the Leicestershire parishes cd. Is it worth getting? Elaine

Hi Mike yes im a bit partial to fruit and nut, i had to take a look there for a moment i thought id put fudge lol The threads seem to be going that quick now with so many people being on boards Bev

Beverly....... Is that with Fruit and Nut ? ....lol :0))) Cheers M'Duck.... MIKE.

Paula ... It's a booklet covering the ninety years of it's use it lists some of the staff and has pictures of them and the Cottages...... MIKE.

wendy> Its on Countesthorpe in general so would include the cottage homes i think again depending on what people have. Mike> What info is in your book. My g grandfather was one of the first children to move into the cottage homes when they opened. He was in the Leicester workhouse and the kids all got shipped out to Countesthorpe. His name is Thomas Aldred he was born in 1876 Paula
