Mike, Will send email in a bit - have your addy on my main address but currently logged on with the address I now use for family history - other one was getting a bit full. Trying to download for the 3rd time a map of Leicester 1835 that Carolyn is sending me - keep getting hiccups!! Are you doing any 1841 searches round the Calais Street/Albion Hill area?? Carolyn has followed up on the info you have sent me and wonders if these folks of hers are anywhere to be seen. James and Maria Newton were on Calais St in 1832 and Albion Hill in 1851. James was a carpenter, and they should have their son, William aged about 8 with them. James was born in Somerby and Maria in Casterton, Rutland. Thanks, Maggie

But they are back together in 1881. :- Dwelling: Victoria Street Census Place: Hinckley, Leicester, England Source: FHL Film 1341747 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 3131 Folio 120 Page 50 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Thomas PALING M 54 M Wolvey, Warwick, England Rel: Head Occ: Farm Labourer Elizabeth PALING M 49 F Wolvey, Warwick, England Rel: Wife Occ: Stocking Seamer Thomas PALING U 26 M Burbage, Leicester, England Rel: Son Occ: Shoe Rivetter William PALING U 24 M Shilton, Warwick, England Rel: Son Occ: Shoe Rivetter Willoughby PALING 15 M Leicester, Leicester, England Rel: Son Occ: Carter.

Greeting's Again Elaine.. I've add more since you 1st read my reply... The other Strettons belong to " Bev".. and I think they come from Croxton Kerrial in the north of the County... But remembered I did spot some Strettons in Aylestone on one of the Census .... MIKE.

Greeting's again Elaine...... One Wedding coming up........... St. Margaret's Church.. Entry No.80, DEC 25, 1858, after Banns CHARLES HURST, 19, bach. PAINTER, of GEORGE St, s. of WILLIAM HURST, PAINTER JEMIMA STRETTON, 23, sp. of GEORGE St, father's name & occupation not given Wits: WILLIAM HENRY STRETTON, LOUISA STRETTON. The Occupation fits that census return of 1861.... and wonder if that Louisa (witness) is the Lucy also on that return ?? ummmm.... Your other query re Daughter or Daughter - in - Law ? The enumerator could have misunderstood miss read or miss heard what was said. Or some one has mis transcribed it wrong So Yes it is a common mistake so don't disregard it yet.... Just had another look at that return has it spreads over two pages and I see that the last four entries are all females including Jemime. and in the column of "Relation to Head " all boxes have ...... " " following on from the first Daughter beneath the entry for Charles.. And so not wishing to let it be know they were living together had it read Daughter ..... MIKE.

Hi Mike, Have just looked at St Margs reg and found a Charles Hurst marrying a Jemima Stretton, wondered if this ties in with the census you sent me or if you have any info on them. The surname Stretton has popped up again and could the spelling of Jamima on the 1861 census be wrong and should it read daughter in law rather than daughter (or was this a common mistake) Elaine PS married1858

Mike, Good to meet you tonight - Thanks so much for all your help. Had a good meeting tonight - will mail you in the morning - enough of burning the "Charnwood Candle" - the candle you can burn at both ends AND in the middle!!!!! Maggie P.S. Would you believe that the most common measurement was 42 inches - tho as to whether that was A's, B's, C's, D's - or even double D's I'm not sure!!!!!!!!!! Amazing the "fun" you can have at a Scout "Hut" on a Thursday night!! Look forward to next time - Feb 3rd if you're there!! Think that will be "dress up" and "model" night - don't miss out - be a scout (or in my case - a Girl Guide!!). P.P.S. If it's really a job in lost property that you're after, then the same chap that can answer the question about the shop can sign you up for the "Smiley Centre" - Charnwood's own Information Centre staffed partly by some very nice ladies - think you would have a good time there!!
