Greeting's Mary O' Italy.....

There is usually a lull in the demand for Fiche readers from 11.00. on most Thursday's......

But here's the phone No. just in case :~

44 + 0116 257 1080.

44 = England International code

Look out for the " Bearded blur" working from either Fiche reader No.'s 15 ~ 23......lol :0)))

MIKE. xxx

I'm going to be in Leicester from Wednesday till Sunday, and I'll try to call in at the Records Office while I'm over.

Is it too late to book a place, Mike?

Yes Mike, I had noticed the time, hope it was not all on my behalf, (wondered why I was having nightmares)

Bob

Greeting’s again Bob……

I wanted to see what you thought first. ? ……

I can do you a scan next week if you require one.

MIKE.

..Mike, again you are on form, very little industrial work in Loughboro' at that time, so Hostler, Ostler is very good. Did you get a scan?

I would rather build a new family group around a man who knows horses than a guess date in Notts.

Had a quick look on the IGI, very little nfo for L'boro those 5 years

Stay in touch, regards Bob

Fiche DE 667./ 5. One of Five fiches.

All Saints Parish Church. Loughborough.

Reads thus :~

BAPTISMS and BURIALS ANNO DOMINI :~ 1792.

APRIL. :~

Thomas Son of John COOKE ( Hosler )
And Rebekah his Wife.
Baptised 27th.

Now I could read ( Hosler )
Two ways…..
Either Hosier ( Knitting ) But the I was NOT dotted.
Plus the up stroke was further up than a i in lowercase.

Or

A poor spelling of Ostler ( Groom ) this could match up with Coachman duties ?

MIKE.

The two birthplaces (Oundle and Shepshed) both come from the censuses - no idea which one's correct.

There's no matching baptism for him on the IGI in either place, so you'll need to check the parish registers.

I've passed it on to a fellow Eld who keeps the database for us and I know she will be interested in the 2 birth places you mention for James. Am unsure whether she realised one was a Held until your correction
Thanks for the info
Elaine

No problem, I've done the same thing myself :-)

Was the information any use, or did you have it already?

Mary

Felt such a fool the moment I sent it and realised it was you, been waiting ever since for the cringe factor when you spotted it!!!

Elaine

Hi Elaine,

I got the message you sent through Ancestry about James (H)eld, which I've replied to.

I guessed you hadn't realised it was me :-)

Calling Mary O'Italy

I do believe I have just sent you a message with regards to James (H)Eld on Ancestry. Trying to decipher a couple of them at the moment mainly Ann Eld daughter of George, who was at Syston Street 1877 when she married a John Frederick Plummer. There is more in the other message I sent and I know it's distant to you but wondered if you were any further on with them that might help me. As soon as I pressed the send button, I knew who I had sent the message to !!! Sorry to double up
